Jesusbaby6:I came across materials used in carport shade... I think it's same material. You can talk to people building carport to see how they get their materials... I suspect it won't come cheap so I didn't bother much about it. I want a very cheap alternative and readily available material to reduce costs for starters. |

Jesusbaby6: I am very convinced that you can get the material within Nigeria. The cost of production for the organization here l am convinced will not exceed N1,000 for each before they add their profit. The edge of the material is the durability, it will last up to 10 years when properly managed. Just like organicfoods suggested check with people building carports, they would certainly have an idea. |

organicfoods: With worms and worm cast you have there, you are a 'big boy' as here a kilo of earthworm sells for N4,000 and the worm cast do have its value 1 Like |

Pavore9: Maybe I will continue using the cement sack am using. That cost me 10 naira each from panteka people. |
Re: Vertical Sack Farming Made Easy by Pavore9: 9:44am On Dec 20, 2015 |
Jesusbaby6: Did you make holes around them? |

Jesusbaby6: I guess that is Ugu and you had the cement bag properly washed before usage. |
Re: Vertical Sack Farming Made Easy by Jesusbaby6(f): 2:07pm On Dec 20, 2015 |
Pavore9: That is the strawberry sir. I washed it very well. Soaked it for 2 days in water before washing. |
Re: Vertical Sack Farming Made Easy by Pavore9: 2:48pm On Dec 20, 2015 |
Jesusbaby6: I guess it was from the phone l had earlier viewed thus the mistaken identity. That is good, how old are the strawberry plants. I will communicate with that guy who also grows his in sacks, to see if he can mentor you through the process. What is the prevailing temperature in Celsius? |

Anytime I come here I feel like I'm wasting time, you all are family as most people around me dont seem interested. @Jesusbaby6 have your chia seeds arrived? Mine haven't. |
Re: Vertical Sack Farming Made Easy by Jesusbaby6(f): 9:51pm On Dec 20, 2015 |
MsJJ: Not yet. I have not even tracked to know its location. |

Re: Vertical Sack Farming Made Easy by jonaboy: 8:40pm On Dec 21, 2015 |
organicfoods:Please how much did you buy the carport material and when you sew the sacks with it do let us know the outcome. I Have one of the sacks Pavore send to me but have not seen the material in Kaduna to replicate the sack with. |
Re: Vertical Sack Farming Made Easy by organicfoods(m): 9:49pm On Dec 21, 2015 |
jonaboy:Was fortunate to lay my hands on it.. A friend was willing to dispose it...however, learnt it won't come cheap, I am eager to experience it's use. Will post images for sure. My partner's girlfriend is a tailor, so it should be ready by tomorrow.. Only she just called this evening that we have to do the cutting for her... She barely can exert the needed energy to cut it... You can imagine how strong it was! |
Re: Vertical Sack Farming Made Easy by organicfoods(m): 7:45pm On Dec 22, 2015 |
The sack filling started this morning... Certain issues came up as you will see in the pix.

Re: Vertical Sack Farming Made Easy by organicfoods(m): 8:51pm On Dec 22, 2015 |
The nylon materials wasn't durable enough to withstand stress. The carport material is an excellent material that will arguably withstand stress and retain water... Our search for a suitable manufacturer starts now. ... Meanwhile, don't mind the bush burning habits of our worker. I screamed to high heavens when I discovered his short cut to bush clearing... It's a no no for organic practice which we want to instil. 2 Likes
