It's pepper afternoon and we are still Harvesting... This week is dedicated to only harvesting the thrip are giving us close marking eager to finish our plants.

@RichieCheers You might have a point ....

@DefarmerAlex The pump may be a factor but the water content is a contributing factor leading to a corrosive system .

It was “installed as new”… but even the control board looked old. We trusted the installer , now we’re paying for it. Lesson for every farmer: Be there when your pump is being installed. Don’t take anyone’s word for it. Your irrigation system is your farm’s lifeline.

After harvesting for a couple of weeks, the plants are being trimmed to start the whole process of vegetative growth and production again .

There’s no such thing as a small vegetable farm. This little space can hold 12,000 seedlings of the herbs we're about to grow. Don’t chase big acres. Chase management + irrigation. A well-managed 1 acre can make more money than a poorly managed 10 acres without irrigation

Yesterday we had to harvest our peppers green because the demand for pepper has gone up. We would normally wait for fully ripped before harvesting but this time the story is different. This is the best time for farmers. 👍

It was very late and we had to finish up cutting of the plastic mulch, transplant tomatoes and Fertigate. Everyone came around, some were cutting, some were placing the plants and some were Transplanting.... All hands on Deck 😜

The beginning of the process is based on planing. we decided to use 20cm dripper and use three lines per bed. We realized we didn't have enough so we had to change it to 30cm and place 4/bed to achieve same population. With herbs, we didn't want to waste too much space .

This is the First Harvest of my Uni. mate who is now venturing into farming. In case you need some very hot and quality pepper don't hesitate to reach him on +233240090088

@Tinky_wiky Sorry, let me find out why

@DefarmerAlex They are not answering the call

Last week a uni mate reached out. We studied Agric Science together. Now he told me he’s been following my journey, started his own farm, and even shared videos of his progress. This is the impact we dream of youth choosing agriculture and contributing to food security. 🇬🇭
