Swilaveko swa Misava na Ndzulamiso
Hixitalo misava yifanele kuva yikota ku khoma mati kufikela eka 1.2 m kambe naku enta kufika eka 600mm swi amukelekile. Misava yilava ku pfuxetiwa hiku rimiwa kumbe kutirhisa foroko, xikomu kumbe xipedi. Kupfuxeta misava swikahle kuva timintsu tita kota kunghenelela kuya ehansi na leswaku mati yata kota kutshama. Susetela maribye xikanwe no fayetela maguvadi leswaku timintsu tita kota kunghenelela kahle emisaveni.
Nsinya wa tamatisi wukota ku kondzelela eka misava leyingana xivumbeko xakahle lexingavaka 15% kuya eka 35% ya vumba leyivaka kahle swinene no vuyerisa eka kunghenelela ka timintsu emisaveni naleka leyi khomaka kalhe mati swinene ya loam.
