Attit:

Drip was invented specially to conserve water in Isreal where there is little water. If you want to conserve water, go for drip. If you want to be succesful in vegetable farming, go for drip. Stop cutting corners. I will keep telling to try your best and raise fund tonset up well.

Sprinker can be used, of course yes. In such case, you should know you arent conserving water. And you will work against yourself if you lay mulch. It is counter productive. Yeah, you can lay mulch and use sprinkler, but it doesnt make sense since over 95% surface bed area of the land is covered. It doesnt just make sense.

Depending on the plant age....1-1.5ml/litter

Olaleyeabdullah:

If you are an absentee owner (you live abroad or your job doesnt permit you to visit your farm), this is how you can survive:

1. Multiple harvests: Go for crops which can give you multiple harvests. If workers steal your onions, cabbage, carrots, etc, that's it. Wasted effort. But if they steal one harvest from a crop you harvest weekly, you can still survive. Once you detect theft, sack them fast and get a new team to take over.
2. Target only high prices sales period. You cannot predict cucumber price, so do not do it. You want to be sure to sell when there is glut. The time of the year tomato and pepper are scare is always a fixed range. You are at a disadvantage cos you cannot monitor your farm, so focus on this period alone and take breaks when they are in abundance. Do not farm.
3. One manager and casual workers. No need for salary paid. Since you have fixed period and you arent running all year round, why get salary based workers? Just get a manager you pay salary. It is easier for you to get rid of just a manager fast than getting rid of all full time workers. Take the pain pf paying casual workers.
4. Leverage on the experience of someone who knows it very well.
5. Cultivate not too complex crop. Some crops are hard, do not go into cultivating them. If tomato is too complex for you, dont do it. But tomato is easy in my opinion as long as you do the right things at the right time.
6. Your Supervisor must be a loyal person to you. His role is to tackle your manager and learn. Gradually turn your supervisor to your manager if your manager is not that reliable. Pay such person per visitation, and pay well.
7. The main crops which fit here for now are: tomatoes and peppers. I wouldn't go for cucumber if I were you. Sweet corn is another good one, but make sure you have the market for it.
8. Fail forward. Check my previous post for this.
9. Be willing to lose before making profit. If you are in too hurry to recover, you will lose good people. You will hurt your business also. This is why number 10 below is important.
10. Have a robust budget. You cannot do it with a slim budget. Never!

My contribution to assist the community here:
1. Tell you precisely how to set up your farm. What to look out for. Will teach you how to take farm measurement, where to put your borehole, what to watch out for, etc.
2. Give you options for farm input and equipment. You will know exactly what to ask the seller so they dont cheat you.
3. Give you nutritional program. Low cost.
4. Give you pest management program. What to buy.
5. Feel free to buy 1 to 4 above anywhere. But if you want to check with me if you have good deals, yes I will do it for you. And on top, I can decide to give you some sellers who have very good prices who you can check with. This is a favor. I will not be involved in it. I have most sellers' contact - seeds, chemicals, fertilizers, etc. Feel free to check with them without mentioning my name. I do not even want to get involved at all. I do not need commission to survive, but there are some sellers who will ask you who are from. You mention me, and I step in, you may get huge discounts. But I dont do this cos I dont want wahala. Some people can be terrible.

Condition - You are serious, and you are ready to get started. Please, do not waste my time if you arent ready. Get ready and I will attend to you if you send me a mail. I want to assist as many as possible who are serious. Please, it is not for pilot, but for real business.

Time to start: Jan to March. After March forget it. So, I am working presently on my own, and I can advise you on what to do so you know how to restrategize and overcome hurdles ahead. I dont have time to answer you here since work has started in full force for me, but always check my email. Send me email via NL. Wait patiently, I will respond. Everyone planning to cultivate tomato and peppers need to make it this year.

This is your year of luck. Do not think I will continue this. Nope. I wont cos it is too brain tasking. It is a difficult procedure. I am using this as a SEED cos I asked God something yesterday Jan 1. This is my motive behind this gift.

Happy prosperous new year.

Is free seed still available for pilot?

LucidG:
Free samples still available for now. In case you want to test the waters with one foot .

Let's talk.

Do you still have sample seed available

LucidG:
May this December be all that we pray and wish for.

May all our prayers receive speedy answers.

Welcome to the last month of the year.
