No collateral,no deposits.

all you need is at least 1/8 acre piece of land.

Buy the kit less the pesticides and seedlings and do it yourself.The cost comes down to 110K.

@ njung'e..suppose one buys the polythene and then some timber and then hires a fundi,would the cost go lower than your 110k?

@cmk,

The cost comes to that when you do it your way......but be very much aware lest someone sells you the wrong type of paper (wrong gauge)

@Njung'e;

Very true...and the problem is not the gauge,but the type of plastic....it must be UV resistant,otherwise it will shred after a few months in the sunshine.

Still; I'd like to here from some one on the sort of returns you get from the 150k green house. Then one can decide whether to take it up.

It is worth investing in the farmers kit. We have partnered with Amiran to teach farmers on use of the tool. They also monitor and do follow up after installation. Israel is famed for taming a tiny barren desert and turning it into lush farmland,feeding its people and being a major player in the export market.

Truly Unique!

@simpson

where do you get the other big ones? And can you get one? and how much would it cost? - say for a starter who may feel the amiran kit is 'small'.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.
