Pavore9: Last time l was in Nigeria, l got to watch NTV and Citizen TV on DSTV but lanre2009 gets to watch them on a Free to air service which requires no monthly subscription. Though l am working on getting the Producer of Seeds of Gold to give me copies of all the Editions aired so far, though a tough call but hoping it would come out positive.
The worm guy shown yesterday, sells a kilo of Earthworm for N4,000 and Kilo of worm casting (organic fertilizers) for N100 and a litre of worm tea for N200. He averagely earns N400,000 monthly from his worm farm which is about half plot of land.
I have a collection of most of the episodes of SMART FARM. I can make a free compillation of the videos for anyone in or around Lagos. I still don't know how to download episodes of SEEDS OF GOLD.
Pavore9: l understand, internet is still expensive in Nigeria. Something came up which needed my attention, so l met the programme half-way but there will be a re-run on Saturday evening. l have several several videos on vermiculture across India, Philippines and Kenya and also based how l have seen it being practically done, l will create a thread later in the day, detailing step by step procedure with pictures, utilizing the waste materials around us, so anyone can set it up easily.
I missed SMART FARM, and i also met SEEDS OF GOLD half way, but i look forward to the opportunity of watching the repeat broadcast on saturday. I just downloaded yesterday's episode of SMARTFARM. It was about a farmer that is involved in the rearing of FAN TAILED PIGEONS. I really look forward to when both SMARTFARM and SEEDS OF GOLD will be subtitled in English language because most of the time the farmers speak in their local dialect or SWAHILI
Pavore9: For anyone who have access to NTV Kenya in their Cable channel list, can tune into the station from 8p.m Nigerian time to watch the Agric programme, Seed of Gold. Vermiculture (the raising and production of earthworms and their by-products) will be the focus. There is so much to learn from it. Below is a preview of the programme.
I will surely watch it this evening by God's grace. I am able to watch the programmes on NTV and CITIZEN TV (seeds of gold) live here in Lagos. Lately i have not been able to watch seeds of gold live (cos i will be in church for mid week while it is airing). So what i do is to download any episode that is aired the following day on Youtube.
I will like to ask the gurus in house if Onions cultivation will thrive well in the western part of Nigeria. I am looking at starting my vegetable farm very soon and would like any relevant information. Thanks
I just called the Northerner that changes Forex for me, his rate as at today is:
1 USD = N240.00 1 Euro = N259.00
Anyone that's interested in patronizing him should PM me for his phone numbers, the Northerner is based in Lagos and the way i change forex with him is we meet at the bank and i only hand over the forex to him after he has paid the Naira equivalent into my bank account.
I sent you a PM, please kindly send me the woman's number too, thanks in advance

I will send you the woman number so that you can confirm from her. she a yuroba
In Milan, a new kind of skyscraper is under construction. Once complete later this year, the two-building project will be covered in greenery, an effect that gives the buildings their name: Bosco Verticale, or Vertical Forest.
Yahoo! News spoke with Boeri Studio, the architectural firm behind the buildings' design. Construction on the residential skyscrapers began in 2008 and is set to be complete sometime this year when people can move in. But people aren't the only residents. Also moving in: a heckuva lot of trees, plants, and shrubs.
The two buildings (26 stories and 18 stories) will be quite literally covered in green: 480 big and medium-size trees, 250 small trees, and roughly 11,000 groundcover plants, according to the firm. It's the equivalent of a hectare (almost 2.5 acres) of forest on the sides of the buildings, the firm says.
But the trees and bushes and plants aren't just for show. The designers explain that they will also help to filter out air pollution, a major problem in big cities like Milan. "Vertical Forest helps to build a micro-climate and to filter dust particles which are present in the urban environment," write the designers. "The diversity of the plants helps to create humidity, and absorb CO2 and dust, produces oxygen, protects people and houses from the sun’s rays and from acoustic pollution."

jethro2: Hmmmnmn. Growing N10,000 in agrobiz will be very difficult. I can understand your plight and would have love be of help. I don't have money to give you but you can plan to attend our vegetable practical training in September free. That is if the distance will not be a barrier. The N10,000 may barely be sufficient for your transport. But if you can find a way to get across and show some little committment, you can half some acres of land to practise, seed to plant, technical support to manage your farm, access to market, accomodation for the next one year, access to all farm equipments that will ease and guide you towards being an agripreneur. You can send mail to adesola_yinka@yahoo.com or call. remain bless
