Hi there. Pls can you get in touch with me via WhatsApp.

Thanks. There was a lot to cover, and one has to pick which details of the many processes to feature in each video. I hear you, and we may focus on trellising in a future video.

You're most welcome

Thanks for the sub! In countries like our, granular fertilizer is still predominant and people are only just getting to appreciate the benefits of liquid fertiliser. I just did a video the other week about how we have installed fertigation at our farm.

Many thanks

Thanks and all the best

Thanks Ba Chibaala. We are humbled. Indeed, it is possible to get by what we learn here on the university of KZfaq, but formal training is also important for success in modern agriculture. Our farms have greatly benefited for having a farm manager who is graduate of NRDC. Please check out our latest video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJN-h9ebsdzTYZ8.html to see him in action passing on some of his know-how to team members.

Thanks

That would be a great idea. But sadly, spraying at night is quite logistically difficult and expensive. Overtime for the workers That is why farmers are advised to spray for insects in the late afternoon or early evening. That has been effect for us.

Fortunately, labour cost isn't a very major factor for us. After starting out with piecework people, we then moved onto have staff that are full time employed. This has helped a lot because they get to do a lot of work each month and give us value for money. Wr also fund that their productivity improves all the time as we train them, meaning that the time taken per job improves, as well as the quality of their work each time. We also have strong supervisors on each farm to keep the workers moving.

Thanks. This channel is more aboit sharing our farming journey and experiences than about giving such mumbers. In fact, you never hear us share detailed numbers on any of our videos. I'm sure other channels do that. We are a professional business and do not see an advantage to ourselves in sharing proprietary information on social media.

We hear you and have been thinking about that. Meanwhile, we hope our videos can offer some guidance and a kind of remote training.

Hi Francis. sadly, that kind of thing s not what the Mondo Farms Channel is about. But there are plenty of other videos on KZfaq showing such details. Many are made by seed companies, chemical companies, fertilizer companies, and some agronomists. Our channel is more about sharing our farming journey in a broad sense, rather than teaching people how to farm.

Great!

Thanks

Thanks for the visit

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks

Thanks for watching and engaging. We don't really give that kind of advice, as our channel is about our farming journey and experiences. I suggest, you consult an agronomist for advice.

You're most welcome.

Thanks Ba Mweemba. Good to have you join our channel. Yes, I suppose any kind of irrigation would be possible. it just depends on the size and scale of the crop you are growing. For anything reasonably sized for sale to customers, it would become too much work refilling the bottles. There is a reason why drip is the most used irrigation system in vegetable farming....

Yes we will look into it.

Welcome

Thanks 😊

Sorry, I would have to look up the records to be exact, but that block of cucumbers was about 30m by 25m

@@mondofarms4343 Mondo farm, i intend to start a business with this culture, i would like to know what is the amount of seed needed for an area of 1 hectare,? I'm having difficulties determining ,Watching from Mozambique

Hi Made in Nigeria. Please have a read of previous comments on how we handle issues of publishing such numbers on social media as a business. Take care and thanks for watching.

For whatever reason, pollination has never been an issue for our crops.

Thanks, Ole. Interesting question. If you watch more of our videos, you will see that our KZfaq channel is more about sharing our farm journey and teaching and guiding others. As a formal business with owners, bankers, and other stakeholders, we dont feel it appropriate to publish our business facya and figures in social media. There are others who will share such data, but we don't. Take care.

Thanks

if you need to get in touch, our contacts are available on Google and Facebook.

Hi Ezekiel. Welcome to the channel, which is about sharing our farming journey and inspiring others. As you watch more of our videos, you will see that we rarely, if ever, get into such technical details. There's plenty of other videos on KZfaq that cover the content you are asking about, and we didn't want to go that route. There are also a lot of resources available on the internet, such as crop planting guides from seed companies, NGOs, etc, that I found and downloaded when I was at your stage. Finally, we always recommend engaging the services of a good Agronomist when venturing into crop farming. Most seed and fwriliser companies employ them, and they guide and advise farmers, visit farms, etc All the best with your farming.

Hi there. That video was quite a while ago and its hard to recall the details. We show a lot of our field preps in other videos. Pls watch the feature we did in eggplant.

Hi there. We just buy local poles from our timber market. Not sure of the type of wood. Like most market purchases, sometimes they are good, other times, not so much. We once got a batch that was very, very susceptible to wood boring insects. In our Cucumber 2022 Update 2 video, we show how we started to dip them in insecticide to prolong their useful life.

@@mondofarms4343 much thanks. I am a small farmer _ just over quarter acre, but like you I farm high value crops such as broccoli,cauliflower, turnips, specialty tomatoes, snow peas, snap peas and leeks. Radishes grow well here in Antigua and make an excellent cash crop for me. I also specialize in leafy veg such as kale, chard and Arugula. Since I am on a small Plot, I go for crops which I can either continously harvest, eg kale or crops which allow me to sell the leaves as greens while waiting for the roots to mature. BTW, Your videos are very informative and well put together. Thank you for sharing and bringing along others.

Our strategy is not to share to the general public the financial details of our business. We focus on sharing the story of how grow our crops, etc. Other channels may provide the kind-of details you are looking for. All the best

Pls get advice from an expert close to you. Successful farming requires input of time effort into research and learning.

Thanks. We don't welcome visitors too often because it affects our ability to meet our targets. You can just imagine how many requests we receive on a regular basis. Pls look out for the Farmers Field Days that we have started to hold. They are well advertised. We had our first ever one on Nov 25 at Kimberley with Holland Greentech, and will surely hold one or two more next year. They allow us to have visitors around the farm in a structured and timely manner.

Yes it's a very good variety. A slicer cucumber by Hygrotech with they simply call Rust Resistant. We have found that Hygrotech is not always be strong on marketing and brands, but their seeds are very good. Check out their website.

Sorry, we are not the right people to answer such. Pls get hold of an Agronomist who could guide you in the right direction. All the best.

All the best

Various suppliers sell them. We mentioned where we procure ours in the video we did on venturi fertigation. all the best.
