Picture 2. Maize in the mix

Picture 3. The woman harvesting from sack makes $4 from the sales of vegetable from each of her sack weekly (Vegetables are far cheaper in Kenya in comparison to Nigeria)

Picture 4. A mix of vegetables and tuber.

You really need to fix it up soonest. I will keep you updated on the apple seedlings when logistics have been sorted out as sending out seedlings is no small matter.

Loving this pictures stories, kalusam. Keep it up.
My problem remains SOIL. Please how do you identify good soils to put in sacks? Also where is the best place to get it?

Started my own little gardening too.. I needed to transplant but not enough soil so I used saw dust mixed with cow manure as growing media.... so far so good.
Even if I buy sacks there's no soil...
Some are already dying n yellowish,coz of less space. I even planted some on pvc pipes I cut into half.

That is life for you! The Chia seeds is part of what I would have grown if l were on ground as it is a very high value crop as a kilo of it sells for about $40.
Re: Let Us Go Vertical And Earn Some Income. by lanre2009: 10:14am On Feb 18, 2016
wow....does it sell for that price when it is exported or sold locally?

Pavore9, Please if someone wanted to invest in a farmer, how would they go about it? What do you look for in a farm to know which one would be profitable, what parameters apart from knowing the farmer is responsible. Thanks.

Anyone who wants to invest in an existing farm has every right to look into the financial records of the farm, take out time to personally feel the operations, know the target market of the farm and most IMPORTANTLY a documented agreement should be drawn up clearly stating each party's responsibility, return on investment and penalties when there is a breach.

NEVER get sweet-tongued into parting with your funds without due diligence on the farm and the farmer as some have been swindled!
