Gardening and compound care in Kenya

Kenya's two rainy seasons mean grass and hedges grow fast. Slashing, hedge trimming, weeding and clearing the compound are regular jobs from Karen and Runda to homes in Nyeri and Eldoret.

Describe the size of the compound, add photos and say whether waste needs to be taken away. Taskers bid and you pay into a secure hold.

Typical jobs

Tips

Share photos of the area and its rough size.
Say whether tools such as a slasher or mower are available.
Mention where garden waste can go.

Agree who provides tools and seedlings, how waste is removed and whether watering is needed after planting. For regular care, agree the schedule in the chat.

Who buys seedlings?

Agree it in the chat. The tasker can request an advance for materials.
