I've just started following this thread, I appreciate everyone sharing their experience to help others. Hopefully I can do the same soon.
I applied for a Diploma at Seneca in the Winter (January) and got an offer. I honestly didn't think I would get a response so fast, I also applied to Sheridan and Humber but no response from them yet.
Anyway, I want to accept the Seneca College offer and start my application for student visa next week, I am SO anxious about it. I can afford to pay my first semester school fees but these are my concerns; My parents have agreed to be my sponsors for my visa application but they don't have all the cash required sitting in an account. They have some property but I don't know the best way to represent this in my visa application as proof of fund.
How can I package my application to give me the best chance of visa approval?
I also have some friends and family willing to chip in but I understand the bulk payment in my account could be an issues.
Any suggestion are welcomed. Thanks.
I have seen many testimonies here and I pray mine will be one of them soon. Ameen.
Please @jephito how do you apply the npk and urea? Do you just place them near the plant? or digg and mix them in? Thanks and congratulations on your harvest.
Ask them where they sell fresh fruits and vegetables.
When you reach there, ask them to show you some of the prominent dealers.
Look for a young friendly person among them to interact with. If he is in the mood to help you then ask him some things like how they source their produce and how difficult it is.
Remember to postpone the visit if he looks confrontational.
Ask him if he can introduce you into the business, if he agrees, do a background check on him to know him better.
Visit him three or more days on this same purpose and ask him to introduced you to their union if any.
From there, you are good to go.
Goodluck
Buyers are no problem as you can sell everything from the point of offload but with a little discount, if you have no shop.
I was interested in doing this. I approached some stores me to make inquiries, they ladies were a bit hostile, giving vague answers or would lie that the marketing person is not around. I took the hint. Please can you assist with farm areas where i can source for vegetable? i want to begin selling direct to customers even if it's with little profit. I'm ready. Thanks.

The tomatoes did good. The brassicas do not inhibit growth. They simply use away the nitrogen that would have gone into making leaves for the tomatoes (inhibiting growth in a sense) while leaving more phosphates in the soil which helps flowering and fruit setting.
This is "common sense" as most organic and inorganic ferts available in the Nigerian setting are rich in nitrogen...
Imagine tomato likes dodo while brassicas love beans. So it's like i gave both of them beans and dodo in one plate because the food seller doesn't sell one without the other. Let them sort out their feed themselves.
This is necessary because if tomato is in a nitrogen rich medium, it will get too leafy and bushy with less fruit.
(to others people- abeg brass I as are simply cabbage and its family members)
Sir i want to start a small tomato garden(about one plot), with a local makeshift greenhouse. Please what kind of irrigation do you advice? I also plan to plan in bags, old cement bags. Thanks.

You mentioned Tokyo for areas with a lot of rainfall cos it's highly resistant to downy mildew but what is the yield and size compared to the F1 Murano you've planted?

Hey @mimmms can i get the contact to the seed seller? Also what ratio did you use for your soil to manure mixture per bag? I'm guessing those are regular cement bags, no? Thanks.
