This would be of great help since I have huge chunks of land lying idle and some are extremely productive. Any one wishing to assist can contact me through my email. Click on Mykey and you'll see my profile. Thanks once again. “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately,to front only the essential facts of life,and see if I could not learn what it had to teach,and not,when I came to die,discover that I had not lived.” - Henry Thoreau

That is how some people feel about farming. They are just happy if the venture can pay for its bills,profits are secondary. Am sure you have met grown men who can talk about farming all day and yet they have burnt their fingers countless times when the weather has turned against them. For such people,this technology eliminates most of the uncertainties associated with rain fed open field farming. 600K from a 8m X 15m plot is rather optimistic. Am projecting 500K for twice the plot size. Not bad for a mpango wa kando. Talk to me over Easter 2010,I will have figures to share. Am not privy to the EB & Amiran loan deal. My take,if you do not have to,do not borrow. There are no accidents.

Rules of the game here: Before you post anything think.give facts only..It's a serious blog for serious people....Do not insult your brother....respect one another...Just be good.... It's good to live a honest life....life without guilt.... Jeremiah 17:11 As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid,So is he who makes a fortune,but unjustly; In the midst of his days it will forsake him,And in the end he will be a fool.' From the SK Anti-hate/anti- corruption campaigner.. Isaiah 65:17-Look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and no one will even think about the old ones anymore

Intention is to grow capsicums and other high value produce when I have the marketing side tied up. The tomato market is much easier to figure out even in times of a glut. There are no accidents.

When you run so fast to get somewhere,you miss the fun of getting there... Life is not a race,so take it slowly.... When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend
