Overview

A rain gauge tells you how much rain fell on your ground, which is not the same as how much rain you think fell. A short heavy shower looks like a lot and delivers little. A quiet drizzle through the night can deliver more than a storm. On a shamba that difference decides whether you irrigate in the morning or leave the crop alone.

It is a simple instrument and that is the point. You push it into the ground or fix it to a post in the open, read the scale after rain, write the figure down and empty it. Over a season those figures show you when your rains actually start and stop on your own plot, which is often several days away from what is reported for the region. Farmers use the record to time planting, to decide when to top dress, and to argue less about whether the maize needs water. For a kitchen garden it stops the most common mistake, which is watering a bed that is already wet below the surface.

Questions and answers

Where should I put it?
In the open, clear of trees, walls and roof overhangs, and standing upright. Anything overhead or alongside will make the reading too low or too high.
Do I need to empty it?
Yes, after every reading. If you do not, the next fall is added to the last one and you lose the daily figure that makes the record useful.
How do I order and receive it?
Place your order online and we will call you to confirm the item, the price and the delivery. You can collect it from our shop on Moi Avenue in Nairobi CBD or we can send it by courier.

Not sure if this is the right one?

Call or email us and tell us what you keep and how many. We will say whether this one fits your farm or point you to a better size. You are also welcome to come and see it in our Nairobi CBD shop.
