Wafra (Long Time Coming)

Workers tending the fields.



Babies...


A Greenhouse full of Peppers



It's so big - can you see R. and B. across the room?



More Peppers




Empty Greenhouse. The black hoses are irrigation hoses. They are laid parallel across the whole room. Tied on one end, they have a hole punched into them at the base of each plant. Water pushed in from the open side waters each plant at the roots.


The earth - and it is a pretty damp winter this year.

The greenhouses - each fan blows out - pulling air into the greenhouse from across the room.


The opposite side of the room from the fans has a rope wall descending into a channel of water - the water wicks up the rope and is pulled through the room by the fan to create a moister environment.

Wafra is only an hour or so from Kuwait City.
