| Abstract | Until recently, Kenyan smallholders, mostly women, struggled to maintain kitchen gardens, using hand-watering to cultivate vegetables for their families. Hand-watering of vegetable gardens is tedious and inefficient especially where water is scarce. It requires many trips back and forth to the water source (which is often some distance away), and it does not deliver water down to the root zone (Reaves 1995). Rather than go through this tedious and time-consuming irrigation process, many people chose to go without vegetables in their diet during the dry season. |
