Rather than burning dried grass in the fields, most farmers turn the sod with a hoe or spade. Haitian farmers are also familiar with composting and often spade decaying plant material into their cultivated fields. Some farmers, particularly in the highlands, construct compost pits. Others practice mulching, utilizing the refuse from sugar cane. In the coffee zone, farmers carefully pile up decay- ing vegetation around the base of coffee trees to enrich the soil. 21 The ' Watershed" program was ...an integrated natural resource conservation project which focused on the drainage basin of Lake Peligre. Activities included reforestation and teaching of contour plowing, terracing, strip cropping and gully control. (Jay H. Hardee, "End of Tour Report," Port-au-Prince: U.S.A.I.D. Mission, 1960.) 171 The farmers of Belladere have a very clear under- standing of the utility of their conservation techniques. When asked why they turn over the sod with a spade rather than burn the grass, a typical reply is, "If I burn the grass, the water washes out the soil." They also clearly perceive the erosion preventive advantages of terracing and contouring.
