Do you really think there is anything like 100% organic? You will definitely use salts to adjust PH. You will definitely give the plants micro- nutrients too. You must add boron and iron if you really want good result. Also, best fungicides are mostly chemicals. Even sodium carbonate is not that organic. And if you check, copper based fungicide are now accepted in organic farms. Anyway, I still agree that aquaponics is organic but I disagree you can ever be able to do 100% organic. Not possible.

I do not mean to lecture you but i know most Kenyans use 50 mesh net for greenhouse and the climatic condition there accepts it. Please, do not be tempted to use that here; else, you will not like the result. And when you use the right mesh for our climate, you will have to deal with aphids, thrips, whiteflies more. Since you want to go organic, you must be sure rabbit urine can handle these terrible pests; else, your farm will have viral infections. My point again is that you must make sure you get the right equipment and materials for south west climate. It may not be the same used in Kenya. You must optimize your system.

If you automate the system and you get it right, I do not see any reason to have a special genius on the farm anymore. Honestly. My main concern is the source of power. Solar, gas, diesel, petrol or biogas?

You mentioned strawberry. You even need to lower the temperature more. Here is what I noticed in most farms. Energy consumption is always high and it affects profit. The next action is to use temperature control less because of high cost of energy. And the pressure is on the manager to use less energy and get high yield. This is tough and the owner starts looking for a guru to fine tune his bad system But if the system had been designed to use less energy, this situation would have been avoided. If the set up is perfect, a high school boy can manage it.

Here is what I would do if your client is bent on getting a Kenyan so called guru. I would make just 3 months contract with him to manage and train the Nigerian boys on farm. And I would make another 3 months contract remewal available just to make the owner comfortable. After 6 months, I would not need him anymore.

please can you just mail me i really need to get some in depth knowledge from you olease.

My major concern this season is meeting the ever increasing demand for plantain. Not only is the production capacity low, most plantain farmers are not producing up to standard. They just procure any plantain sucker variety and start farming. At the moment, I am mandated to supply plantain flour, plantain chip companies with capacity ranging from 10T/day to 30T/day.
This is a huge supply that has kept me thinking,working harder on ways to meet the demand.
When I looked at the capacity of my farm and the farms i have set-up and the ones I am managing, i see the huge gap between the quantity the companies need and what i have, also looking at the fact that not all plantain producing farms have what the market need.

We have thousands of suckers already prepared and about 100,000 suckers at various stages of growth on our farm.To encourage more farmers and intending farmers to venture into plantain farming business,I am given out Free hybrid suckers to farmers that will be cultivating at least 5 acres in ogbomoso.
The plantain farm will be set-up and manage with our Free suckers and then the cost of the suckers will be deducted and 20% after sale management fee after the plantain has been sold.
About 1000 acres of farmland in a good location has been acquired for this purpose
