Kentiman: Usage of concrete depends on existing conditions. Is the area prone to flooding, termite presence in soil? ...budget can also be a concern. When using concrete however, the rule is to dig deeper than you "actually want", concrete it, and then fill with good loamy soil to the level you "actually want". ( soil depth shouldn't be less than 6inches.) |

hello sir lordhugo, nice trend you have here. I did appreciate the good job. kudos sir. I just constructed a snail shelter. but going through your trend, you made mention of ants and other insects. coupled with the fact that my snail shelter doesn't have a concrete floor, which shows that ants can come into the shelter. I want to know if there is anyway I Can prevent them from coming in? |

jaybim: You should avoid handling the eggs with your hand if you want the eggs to hatch. It's better you use a plastic spoon when handling the eggs. |

cosade: It depends! If you can control the climate of the housing. The minimum temperature should be 24-25°C. A greenhouse solution can help. If you can grow tomatoes year round, you can raise snails too. 1 Like |

ofemco: Call me on 080.30964896 for lands in Ogun state. I use a government surveyor when buying farmlands. A lot of lands are under government acquisition and as such you jeopardize your investments when government reclaims or allocates such land. Up to 1000hectares available.
