Swihahlu swifanele kulawuleka no basiseka himinkarhi. Swikahle kuswiveka hi mintila leyi baseke, kungava kuri xin’we kumbe swimbirhi hinkarhi un’we. Minyangwa ya swihalhu leswi yifanele kukula kuringana leswaku swita koteka ku nghenisa no humesa mpfundlha xikan’we no tiyisisa leswaku xabasiseka.
Eka xihahlu xinwe nyangwa wufanele kuva e henhla kumbe emahlweni. Mavanti yakona yafanele kuva lawa yanga tiya swinene kusivela leswaku mimpfundlha yinga humi hi yoxe. Loko swihahlu swiendliwe swilandzelelana hi mintila tiyisisa leswaku kuna ndzhawu yoringanela leswaku unga kota kutirha leyisalaka exikarhi. U fanele u kota ku susumeta wheelbarrow exikarhi ka swona.
Manyoro iswin’wana swankoka leswihumesiwaka hi mpfundlha. Unga cukumeti manyoro na swondlalela leswihumaka eswihahlwini hikuva swina nkoka kuswitirhisa eka kunonisa misava exirhapeni xa matsavu. (See the section 'Manure' for more reading).
Ehansi laha kunga endliwa hi mapulangi nakona kufanele kundlaleriwa. Leswi swinga endliwa hi sawdust, straws kumbe byasi byo oma. Xihahlu lexi endliweke hi tinsimbi xifanele kuva na tray leyingata hlengeleta malongo lawa. Leswi kungava tray ya nsimbi kumbe plastiki yo ndlalela leyinga vekeriwaka ehansi ka xihahlu. Ehansi ka swihahlu nakona kufanele ku basisiwa hiku olova.
Loko kuri na sandi ehansi, kufanele kukukuriwa masiku hinkwawo kasi laha kunga tirhisiwa concrete kunga ndlaleriwa sawdust kumbe misava leyinga susiwaka yiya katsana na vulongo lebyinga endla ndhundhuma. Aswibohi kuhumesa mimpfundlha loko uri eku basiseni ka xihahlu hikuva mpfundlha awuvileli loko munhu a khoma khoma xihahlu xa wona.
Kungava ntsena laha swinga tika laha unga susaka mpfundla kufana na laha utirhisaka blowtorch eka xihahlu xampfundlha lowu awu vabya. Kwalano swalaveka leswaku wusuka.
