If the worker you meant is your farm manager, it's
Ok he makes sales on your behalf. But if it's
your farmhand you entrust sales it's not ok.

Thanks for your comment.
He's more or less the farm manager so to say, since I'm not always available due to work. My wife will take care of the sales henceforth, though she's busy with office work too, but I think she can manage.

At farmer akin and others pls sirs sorry to disturb pls how do I solve the problem of water not dropping on the spot I want it to(drip tape)

Your ridge is likely on a slopy landscape or not level to have water run off the drip point as you explained. You could tie something loosely around the drip point to prevent water runoff and allow water to drip at the point.

Finally did my nursery on the 15th, this is the quantity of manure per hole am using now.

@ Farmerakinloye6, good job.

After this first application of manure at planting, did you apply manure again during the life cycle of the tomato plant?

Hi brother, do you now let workers hand wash these crate? If you need, our washer can help you wash them in less time, thus reducing labor costs, please refer to the pictures and videos below:

There was no patronage from osun yesterday due to election. Osun is a neibouring state to both Ondo and Oyo.

A very great substitute to Manure... Npk and Urea.

And it just requires 5 bags for an acre.

A Natural Fertilizer and it retains the supplements of the Soil
