@jasper7 this is my first time of coming across your thread and i read from page 1 to the end, while reading it my head was about exploding because i just fell in love with everything you do and the whole process. This is what i have always wanted for Nigeria as regards agriculture, if educated people like you can go into agriculture, then the future of agriculture in Nigeria is bright. As someone that live in the unuted states, i go to the fruit market and i weep for Nigeria because of the infrastructure and how they keep everything and everywhere clean and neat. im in the process of buying land in America to start my own farming too. This is all i wanna say, as regards the processing and packaging using crates, its a wonderful idea and a great development. However, if you need anything from here in the states to help you with the proper packaging of your products and technical know how of how they store their vegetables and fruits here that makes it available all year round, dont hesitate to ask and i will do my best to help you out with it. God bless you real good and i wish you all the best. 5 Likes |

On a 2nd thought, do u know the materials used in the construction of this vegetable cooler? I can identify palm front, jute bag & PVC pipe around it. Are any other thing am missing? How can one make water to drop on d jute bag? This Is usefull for small Holden farmers. But it can actually be resized to accomodate more vegetables. baba11: |

@Jasper7, great courage and determination you have got. Well done To be sincere, organic agriculture is the way to go but can this be truly sustainable without integration? I doubt it. The agriculture of our time needs an holistic approach, putting into consideration a the elements of nature (that is dancing with nature). I assure you that with (authentic technology) you will be smile all day long. Why? because you will be producing more with less. I salute your courage. ![]() |

teeone02:Thank you very much sir. I appreciate your comment. You are msking a lot of sense in your comment. Here is what some budhist monks who are 100% organic farmers in thailand taught about organic fertilizer and pest control. UPDATE 3........ FERTILIZER AND PEST CONTROL. My lectures are inside a Buddhist community. They are Vegetarians. Don't keep or eat animals of any kind. They believe in natural farming(organic). This village has practiced it for forty years and have amazing stories. They have varieties of organic fertilizers. Taught simple ways to produce yours. Note the following points about pests according to them.( I am prepared to try everything) # The closer your soil is to nature, the fewer pests...... Nature breeds some good worms, insects who naturally feed on pests but we destroy them through bush burning or chemical pesticides or herbicides. # Plants in the forest don't have pest attack/or as much. Why. Think. # Some plants protect others. There are more pests in single cropping than mixed cropping. # There will be more pest when a crop is repeated on same soil. # The organic pesticide doesn't kill pest but drives them # There are local ways to drive them..... Use those ways but first let the soil be treated. Our soil need to be recovered. # already made organic pesticide is available. # When the soil is fully recovered, pest attack and diseases will reduce. 2 Likes |

Hello NairaLanders, In this era of "Change" and Economic Recession, where Banks and corporate organizations are continuosly downsizing while MORE graduates are still graduating in hope that they secure a well-paid job. If you are still searching to be employed, you are at big risk, its a 20% chance! Also, if you are proud and satisfied by your current salary, you are a big joker (apologies for the statement) because the over 3000 Banks staff laid off did not get replacement. But I will advise that you seek to be SELF EMPLOYED and PART-TIME employed by others so the coming recession predicted will not meet you in shock- Oh, I had known... If you listen to the News, Fed Govt is in full support of AGRICULTURE afterall, we all started from their and na their we go end up when Petrol don diminish value finish. *Gbam!* You can still end this year better than you started. Join millions of MODERN AGRIC INVESTORS in the NIGERIA 1-MILLION AGRO-MILLIONAIRES Workshop 1.0 and learn how to use less than N50,000 to earn about N600k to N1million within 3months WITHOUT HOE or CUTLASS. DON'T JUST PRAY, FAST, HOPE, BEG OR WISH TILL THE END OF THE YEAR, DO SOMETHING!!! To see evidences for yourself, click the link below: www.agromillions.com Thank you |
