  • March 2016 Newsletter
    March 2016 The Trowel President’s Prose Volume 4, Issue 1 Dear Members and Friends, Just when I thought that spring might be peeking around the corner, it snowed again! I've been searching in my little garden to see if any of the daffodil bulbs that I planted last autumn have come through, but on the dreary north side it remains cold and still. On the other hand I visited Esther recently and on the sunny west side of her house, she has patches of tulips already. I am sooooo envious! I hope that some of you will decide to join me as April approaches and take a little stroll through Meacham Woods. I was inspired by the speaker who told us about all the wild flowers that we may see and am hoping to do that this year. I do need someone with me who can identify them though as I am sure I won’t remember. Let us find a way to get a group together and enjoy the outdoors. Your Plant Sale committee have already been very busy making plans for the sale in May and I hope that you have placed your orders with Henia and will be ready to get up early that weekend to help unload the truck and set up for another exciting and successful event. Please note on your calendars that we change venue as of April for our monthly meetings. We will be at St. Paul Church and you will get timely reminders from the Program Committee in this respect.

  • How to Process Palm Oil with the Pit
    Guidelines for the construction of a cemented palm oil pit This guideline gives the dimensions for the “1 drum pit” (75kg of cement) and “2 drums pit” (125 kg of cement). This model can be adapted by adjusting the size of the hole and the proportions of cement. Tools and Material The construction involves locally available materials, except cement which might be hardly available and costly for remote farming families. The construction requires basic masonry knowledge and tools. Materials Quantities for 1 drum pit Quantities for 2 drums pit Cement (kg) 75 (1.5 bags) 125 (2.5 bags) Sand (head pans) 15 30 Granite stones (head pans) 35 80 Stones for the floor (head pans) 10 25 Tools Measuring tape Buckets Hammer Level Head pans Sledge hammer Strings Pick axe Wooden sticks Shovel Machete Trowel Steps 1. Site selection (15 mn) It is necessary for the farmer to choose an adequate location to optimize the efficiency of the pit. In order to facilitate the process, it is advisable to locate the pit : - Within the palm trees garden to reduce the constraints of transportation. - Near to a water point (swamp, stream, well) because the process requires a large quantity of water. - On a gentle slope to allow the proper drainage of water. 2. Site preparation (15 mn) Before starting the construction, the site has to be clear of grass, branches and stones. Tools : machete and the shovel. Steps 3. First soil marking (15 mn) This soil marking helps the farmer to visualise the size of the hole he has to dig.

  • Lawncare Training Guide Hand Tool Care and Safe Use
    Hand Tools Safety: Lawncare Training Guide Hand tool care and safe use Introduction Many hand tools such as rakes, shovels, pruners are used widely in lawncare operations. While these non–powered tools do not cause major injuries, there is potential for injuries requiring absence from work and/or hospital treatment when they are used improperly. Examples of such injuries from hand tools are bruises, cuts, sprain, back problems and carpal tunnel syndrome. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (2006) reported approximately 205,000 wrist, hand and finger injuries that required absence from work in 2006. The rate of these injuries per 10,000 full-time workers in all private industries is approximately 29.6 incidences. Similar information published by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSU) show nationwide over 28,000 receiving hospital treatment for injuries sustained from the use of hand tools such as rakes and shovels (University of Calif., 2010). A large majority of these injuries can be avoided with proper selection and maintenance, and careful use of the tools. The overall goal of this training guide is to familiarize the users with the different hand tools used in lawncare and their safe and proper use to minimize the number of injuries. General Safety Rules for Hand Tool Use Select the right tool for the job. Select tools to match the strength and size of the user. Maintain and store the tools properly (sharpening the blade periodically, oil coating to prevent rusting, lubricating, and replacing broken or worn out parts). Do not use hand tools under the influence of alcohol or drugs or when fatigued.
