But that is only one part of the story:
I want to tell you everything about Hass Avocado…
so that when you make your purchase, you have the guarantee that you’ve made the right decision, and that your investment will PAY itself MANY TIMES OVER.
Before we proceed, below are some of the photos of our Hass avocado seedling nursery:

Why Buy Hass Avocado Seedlings to Grow in Your Farm?

1.       High demand of avocado as a local and Export crop
In Kenya and across the world, there’s high demand for Hass avocado fruit. During the avocado season traders race to every corner of Kenya looking for farms to buy from so that they can fill their purchase orders.

For that reason, if you have high-quality Hass avocado fruits, your bank account will be crying chim! chim!  chim! because of the deposits that will be hitting it.

That’s not all…

The price of Hass avocado fruits is set to skyrocket as China joins the global Import Trade of avocado.

Just over a year ago President Kenyatta signed an MOU with China. That agreement will allow Kenyan avocado to access the highly lucrative Chinese market.

My crystal ball tells me we won’t be able to satisfy the Chinese demand!

For that reason, in a few years Hass Avocado will be rarer than the Gold of Ophir.

When that day comes where will you be?

“Will you be profiting from the Hass Avocado Mania or you’ll be crying I wish I knew?”
2.       Growing Hass Avocado fruit seedlings are better than saving a for a retirement income.
Though trees take a couple of years to grow, when they finally mature, they will feed you, plus your grandchildren.

They will outlive any retirement package that you are currently saving.

I am saying this because I know of a family who harvests thousands of kilos—year after year— of Macadamia nuts that their long-dead father planted in the 1960’s!

Trees are a true inheritance.

Even in the bible during times of war people were cautioned against harming trees.
They were allowed to destroy buildings, walls, altars, idols, and other things but not fruit trees.

Why?

Fruit trees feed generations. So I you’ve got some land to grow Grafted Hass Avocado seedlings, do it now!

3.       You won’t be waiting for 6-7 years to get for first Hass avocado fruits.
In fact, in 3-4 years you’ll start enjoying your first harvest.

Why?
We graft all our Hass Avocado seedlings.

The grafting process greatly REDUCES THE WAITING PERIOD for fruits by up to 3 to 4 years thus enabling you to enjoy your fruit sooner.

What we do, we collect scions from mature Hass Avocado seeds, then graft them on rootstock of other varieties like Puebla.

4.       Get consistent yields from Hass Avocado seedlings.
Of course there are many variety of avocado trees.

You are at liberty to grow any of them.

However, none of those varieties show consistency in producing fruit year after year than Hass avocado.

The other avocado varieties alternate their bearing. During one year they bear fruit. The next year they don’t bear ANY fruit.

Why grow the other varieties when you can grow Hass avocado that bears season after season?

What can be a better variety than Hass?

Its regularity of production earnings is like “Earning tax free interest from a government bond!”

5.       Obtain High yields from Mature Hass avocado Seedlings.
The scions of our seedlings come from the Original Hass Varieties Imported from Mexico and Florida.
That means, they are TRUE TO TYPE.

Our avocado produce creamy sweet avocado for use in any dish.

Once customers taste your avocado fruits, they’ll love them the way children love yoghurt!  

You’ll never miss people willing to buy your fruit…
I could go on and only expounding the merits of Growing Hass Avocado Seedlings now rather than later.
Can Hass Avocado Grow in My Region, Province, County or Country?
The answer to this question is simple:
Avocado can grow anywhere in the Tropics and Sub tropics.
Actually Avocado can grow in almost every country in Africa (With the exception of those in the Sahara and Namib desert), South America, And Australia.
So if you leave in Kisii, Kakamega, Butere, Nyanza, Rift valley, Nakuru, eldoret, Kitui and many other places—you can grow Hass avocado.  
That said, there are some certain local conditions that will determine whether you can grow Hass Avocado seedlings.
1.       Temperature
Hass Avocado grows in the range of 21-28 degrees centigrade and at an altitude of 900-2100 Meters above sea level.
Too cool temperatures considerably slow the growth of Hass Avocado Seedlings.
For that reason, people living in Kinagop and others areas of similar temperatures and elevation can’t grow Avocado.
Conversely, too hot temperatures result to fruit and leaf burns.
Yield Per acre of Mature Hass Avocado of Seedlings
It takes 3-4 years before your Hass Avocado seedling starts giving its FIRST FRUITS.
During the first fruiting years a tree can yield 200-300 fruits.
That low yield is a problem to commercial farmers.
To solve this problem, farmers REDUCE the SPACING avocado trees to increase the plant population per acre.
Instead of growing the recommended 150 trees per acre, farmers grow 3 times that.
As the years’ progress, and the trees increase production, the farmer thins them.
He does so that the mature trees can have a spacing of 6M X 6 M.
At that spacing, 1 acre can have 150 trees.
A fully mature tree can yield up to 3000 fruits.
So if you have 150 mature Hass fruit seedlings, you’ll get 450,000 fruits which translates to 50 tons per acre!
It takes a Hass Avocado tree 8 years to fully mature to the point of yielding 3000 or more fruits.

How To Manage Your Passionfruit Farm So That You Can Earn More Money From it

Proper Passionfruit farm management, is vital for passion fruit growing in Kenya. It all starts with the variety you choose to raise. Depending on your farm's locality, you can decide to plant either yellow or purple passion.
When it comes to growing yellow passion fruit, your job is simple and straightforward.  All you have to do is germinate the passion fruit seeds in a nursery, transplant the plantlets in polythene tubes filled with soil, let them grow until they attain a height of 15-20 cm before you transplant them to the open field.
However, if you decide to grow purple passion fruit, you MUST first graft purple passionfruit scion on yellow passion—if you hope you have a high yielding passion farm.

Why is grafting purple passion fruit scion on yellow passion fruit a critical factor in managing your passion farm?

Purple passion fruit variety is highly susceptible to a fungal disease called fusarium wilt. This fungal disease can clear a whole farm within days. To minimize the risk of your entire farm dying of fusarium wilt and spending lots of fungicides in controlling the disease, we graft purple passion fruit on yellow rootstock. We do so because yellow passion is resistant to fusarium wilt.

Another reason why we graft purple passion on yellow passion rootstock is that the latter is hardy, drought tolerant, and vigorous. The yellow passionfruit will, therefore, pass these good traits to the purple passion scion.

If you decide to grow yellow passion fruits, you don’t need any grafting because the yellow passion plant is already resistant to drought, fusarium wilt, nematodes, and other diseases.

In brief, whether you grow yellow or purple passion, routine management your passionfruit farm comprises the following through the various growth stages of the plant.
  •    Trellising the plants
  •    Soil fertility
  •       Managing Pests
  •    Keeping the orchard clean
  •       Regular watering
  •    Managing Nutrient deficiencies
  •       Passionfruit fertilizer requirements.

After the choice of seedlings, the next important factor of passion fruit management is soil fertility.
The soil condition must be right to support the plant through its various stages of growth. From a young age—when the plant multiplies, maturity stage which is characterized by reproduction of flowers and fruits, vegetative growth, budding, flowering, ripening, and senescence—the soil condition must be right.

How to Manage your Passion Farm when the seedlings are at the Young vegetative stage

At the time of transplanting, your seedlings should be about 15-20 cm high. At the young vegetative stage, they passion plants need to a healthy root network, put up foliage, multiply, grow a sturdy stem to support future fruits.
Let us first start by discussing how to make your seedlings have an extensive root network.
For your passionfruit plant to have a secure network, you will need to prepare the transplanting hole correctly.
Here is how to do it.
  • ·         Dig a hole that is 2feet wide, 2 feet long X 2 feet deep.
  • ·         Fill the hole halfway with farmyard manure.
  • ·         Use the soil that you've removed, to top up the hole you've just filled halfway with manure until it is three-quarter full.
  • ·         Using your hands, or a hand trowel, mix the soil and the manure thoroughly.
  • ·         Transplant your seedling.
  • ·         Apply 10 grams of DAP fertilizer around the plant ensuring it does not touch the stem of the seedling to prevent fertilizer burn.
  • ·         Fill the remaining space with the remaining soil and firming up the soil around the plant.
  • ·         Water the passion seedling.

The purpose of the manure is to make the soil well aerated, provide nutrients, provide a room for suitable micro-organisms and room for roots to thrive.
The purpose of the DAP fertilizer is to make the nitrogen nutrients available sooner because manure releases its nutrients slowly but over an extended period compared to DAP that is fast over a short period.
Don’t forget to water the seedling regularly. The passion fruit vine cannot be able to access nutrients it needs for rapid growth if the soil is dry.
Once the seedling is well established and has new growth, you can apply about 5 grams of urea for every passion fruit plant.
In about two months of regular watering, the plant will have moved to young plant/ seedling stage to the vegetative stage.

How To Manage the Passion Plant During the Vegetative Stage.

In this phase, the plant multiplies producing side shoots and vines in preparation of flowering and fruiting. At this stage, various experts discourage the use of fertilizers rich in nitrogen because that will encourage the growth of leaves at the expense of fruits.

Because the plant will be producing many vines, it will need trellising. To maximize on passion fruit production, you ensure that you have one main stem that provides three main branches.
You will also need to apply hormones at 5-6 months to stimulate flowering.

How To Manage of Passion Plant During the Flowering Stage

The flowering stage is the most sensitive stage in a passion fruit plant. Any water and nutrient deficiencies will lead to flower abortion and eventual low yields. Likewise, any pest attack will lead to reduced production.

At this stage, you will need to apply high levels of potassium fertilizer and micronutrient fertilizers to avoid flower abortion. You will also continue to use appropriate fungicides and insecticides to prevent damage to flowers.

The most significant pest to watch at this stage is passion fruit aphid which leads to passion fruit woody virus that results in misshaped fruits.
The plant will need regular watering.

Managing Passion Fruit During The Fruiting Stage

The plant will need regular watering pest management. You will also need to protect your maturing fruits from animals like monkeys, birds, squirrels, and people who are likely to pick your mature fruits and lead to losses.

How to Choose the Right Crop for Your Farm so that You don’t lose money growing the wrong thing!

Crop Selection In Agriculture


Your land has been lying idle for some time. 

You’ve finally decided to grow something on it so that it can give you much-needed extra income. 
But you are in a dilemma. 

If you have ever found yourself in this situation, you are not alone. Most people—who want to grow something on their idle land—so that they start earning money—don’t know what to grow, where to start, or what they need. They don’t know the right crop for their farm, the amount of money they need to grow it, and where to sell the harvest once the crop is mature.

If you’ve ever been in this fix, consider this article godsend.

Why? 

You will never-ever struggle to decide what to grow on your rich farming land. 

Instead of choosing what to grow, will be easy ad drinking water. 

Investing your cash in a loss-making crop will be distant the way the sun is far off from the earth.

So where do you start?

What do you grow so that success is assured the VERY first season you grow something on your idle land?

Remember choices have consequences. 

Growing a crop that is too common will put you in direct competition with hundreds of thousands of other farmers. 

You’ll be too many people struggling to sell to a few customers. 

On the other hand, choosing a crop that is too rare—is risky.  

Such a crop may not have sufficient demand. 

The risk of it rotting in your store or warehouse is sky high!

Does this little analysis make you feel like completely giving up on farming? Please don’t give up. Done well, growing crops often have a high rate of return— far higher than the rate of return of the stock market, and the real estate. 

You can get up to ten times your investment. For every dollar invested in farming get you ten to twenty more.

That’s why I am writing this to you. I want you to come to the right decision—on what to grow—easily and fast. The process of choosing a crop to grow, shouldn’t be a mind-boggling job. It should be a wonderful experience, just like spending time with a loved one…

How to tell if a crop is worth growing


  •   The prospective crop should have a Predictable and Reliable market
Whatever you grow MUST have a wide acceptance and demand. People must be eager and ready to buy ALL or a substantial portion of what you desire to grow.

If you don’t want what you desire to grow to end up in the compost pit, consider its market. Invest in a crop that you are sure will SELL; several such crops exist. 

Just to mention a few of ALL SEASON-HIGH DEMAND crops; For vegetables, we have Kale, Spinach, Potatoes, Tomatoes, and Onions. For fruits, we have avocados, mangoes, and oranges. People need these crops—from January to December, 24/7 days a week.

Something worth noting about the market is the competition. 


If you decide to grow the above-mentioned vegetables and fruits, you will definitely face ugly and stiff competition. 

Nevertheless, there are times when these vegetables and fruits are in SHORT supply. You can take advantage of such times to beat the competition. 

Grow high-demand crops during times of shortage, when the weather is unconducive to many farmers, and you’ll smile all the way to the bank.


As you think about what to grow, don’t limit yourself only to popular crops. There are other less popular crops, herbs, fruits, and vegetables that are very profitable—if you find a niche market for them. 

Before you venture into their production, do thorough research. Search for potential customers, and persuade them to sign a contract with them, so that you are always assured of a market.

  •  2      The amount of capital you require
Second, you must decide how much you are willing to invest in growing the crops and whether you have the money to do it. 

I am saying this because most investors often don’t have a clear picture of exactly what they need to put in farming. 

Some people underestimate the amount required and they end up broke before the crop they planted is yet to mature. 


Running low before the season ends means you won’t have the cash for other operations like harvesting, storage, transport to market etc.
  •         Managerial skills
Third, you must consider your management competence. 

Some crops like tomatoes, potatoes, and cut flowers require the grower to be highly skilled or experienced. 

Others like avocados, mangoes, papaya, and kale need a little experience to grow.  Don’t grow a crop you can’t manage. If you must do, start small. Learn from experience before starting a full-scale production project.

  •  Consider all logistical challenges
Fourth, consider all the logistics associated with growing the crop. 

Consider where you are going to; 
  1. Source for inputs and its effect on the overall cost; 
  2. Distance from the nearest market, 
  3. and its impact on operations or marketing, 
  4. Time of harvesting and time of arrival at the market. 
When you put all these four things into account, you’ll have settled on the three most ideal crops to grow.

Once you have settled on one to three crops—you have to know if your farm is suitable for them…

Your job is halfway done once you have settled on growing one to three crops.

I am saying this because a crop can make economic sense to grow, but nevertheless be unsuitable for your farm. 
This is because every farm has its unique and localized conditions that make it suitable or unsuitable for a crop.

Let me explain…

A farm could be in an area, with a climate suited for growing carrots, potatoes, or onions, but still prove unsuitable for growing those crops. 
The soils—of the farm could be black cotton soils—soils that can’t allow the successful growing of the aforementioned crops or could be other conditions like flooding on the land, or even diseased soil.

Other factors that may prevent the growth of the desired crop is a history of soil-borne diseases fertility, the quality of water among others.

Type of planting material

The type of planting material should be considered carefully.  Depending on what the planting material is, your costs will go up or come down. 

If you want to establish your crop from seed, the cost of seed is much lower. But if you expect to either use corms, tubers, cuttings, bulbs, or rhizomes, brace yourself because these types of planting material are, costly compared to seed, and a little difficult to handle.
Source of planting material
If your selected crop is going to be raised from seed, consider buying certified seed from authorized seed sellers. 
The certified seed produces crops that are resistant to disease, vigorous, and display uniform growth. 
Things get tricky if you want to establish your crop from vegetative materials like cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, and bulbs.

Sometimes there are no certified distributors of these planting materials. 

Where certified material exists, consider using it. In instances you can’t get certified vegetative materials like tubers, cuttings and the rest, order them from a farm with a history of good agricultural practice, healthy crops, and proper management. That will ensure that your crops are free from diseases and pests.

Think of how you are going to harvest the crops, and how you are going to preserve them for the market.

After spending much time growing a crop, a time will come that it must be harvested. As you do so, think of what type are you going to sell them in the fresh form, or you are going to process them further?

Plan for success

Get the right help and workers
Keep proper records and track expenditures

Consider integrated pest management

How to Grow Strawberry the Easy and Profitable Way


If your land is idle or is under any other crop Then you’ve lost millions of shillings. Today I want to tell you, how profitable strawberry farming is in Kenya.
Should you start growing the crop immediately; hopefully you will CUT DOWN on some of your losses. So the urgency of your response matters so much…
IMG_4480 Strawberry farming will buy you those million shilling houses that are advertised on Sunday evening television.
If you already have a house, it could buy you a Prado from one of those yards along Mombasa road.
 Paying your for your child’s education or mortgage shouldn’t be stressing- IF you grow strawberry. But wait…
One thing you need to know. The information you find here is not available elsewhere. In fact, farmers who are already earning big money from strawberry farming would rather shut up, that share this SECRET!
Today, I’ll help you dissect all the secrets of strawberry farming. So you can earn from strawberry— the easy and profitable way.
“Could this be true?” Hmmmmm…
Dear hardworking farmer,
Farmers in Kenya are growing strawberry, and are smiling all the way to the bank. What about you? You know how much work and money you put into your farm.
Therefore, you too— deserve all the riches that come from the soil. But you need knowledge on how to do that. Unfortunately, this knowledge is rare. And most farmers would rather die than reveal this secret to you.
You need to know how much capital is required to start strawberry farming, the market for strawberry if it’s a good investment, where to find the correct planting material and whether your area is suitable for the crop.
Here below are some testimonials from farmers making HARD COLD CASH from strawberry.
Of all crops that I grow, strawberry is my biggest pride and joy. I produce and sell seedlings to other farmers in Nyeri and Karatina. Not only does the crop draw high value locally, but there exists a rich export market for well-grown strawberries.

The demand for strawberry outstrips supply. One grocery asked us for 200 punnets [packets] per week, another wants 50 Kg per week, and a yogurt manufacturing company wants 300 punnets per week…
We are not able to supply all the orders we receive on our own. Roughly we make as much as 100,000 shillings per week from this venture.

Last time I was looking for fresh strawberries in Nairobi, it was a bit of a headache.
Seraah
If you get fresh strawberry, they are pricey. Supermarkets package them in ¼ kg packs that sell for KES 250.
Nicky Thompson










Here is why strawberry COULD MAKE YOU RICH…
  • You can earn in two ways from the crop simultaneously; from selling the fruits, and sell the runners. This is because propagation of strawberry is through runners. One runner can sell for KES 15/=.
  • An acre of strawberry can produce over 100,000 runners in a year. That means runners alone have the potential of generating over 1.5 million in a year for you.
  • The crop is easy to grow; you can make a profit even from small spaces of land.
  • The crop has a long lifespan. It can live for 3-5 years and produce fruits and runners for you if well maintained.
  • The crop is easy to grow; you don’t need expensive equipment to harvest it- all you need is a hoe and your hands.
  • The market demand for strawberry fruits is so high, while the market supply is at bottom…
  • You harvest your fruit within 30-40 days after plants have flowered. Unlike in avocado where you have to wait for 5-7 months, mango 4-5months, and passion fruit 3-4 months.
  • You can harvest 3 times in a year, unlike other fruits that can be harvested once— at most twice.
  • One kilo of strawberry fetches you KES 400/=
  • The plant can grow in various soils from sandy loam to clay.
  • Doctors are recommending their diabetes and high blood pressure patients to eat strawberries. This is because strawberry contains high levels of potassium and magnesium help to regulate blood pressure and help promote nutrient function. The magnesium content also relaxes nerves and muscles and keeps blood circulating smoothly. This is a new and growing market for strawberry grower
  • Strawberry is richer in vitamin c than citrus fruit. The very high content of vitamin C supplies 160% of daily requirement in one serving of 147 Gms of this fruit.
  • You can earn over 3 million shillings a year from an acre of STRAWBERRY THE EASY WAY. You won’t have to apply for a loan to get that amount of money. All you’ll need is to invest a few thousand, labor, time, some marketing and you’ll get the money PAP!!!
So, which strawberry variety is suitable for you?
I would recommend you grow Chandler. This variety was bred by the University of California, and it produces medium-sized fruits of between 20-30 grams. Below, is a photo I took at the NAIROBI INTERNATIONAL SHOW of the strawberry variety.Strawberry, Chandler variety
Why Chandler?
You can produce 3 harvests per year from a single plant. The plant produces big, sweet fruits that will sell like hot cake once you harvest.
The variety is easy to grow; you can never go wrong…
Where do you get this variety?
You can get this variety from the many contacts across the internet, or a farmer near you. One question you need to ask yourself, “Would the advice he gives you to enable you to exploit the potential of the crop fully?”
Here’s a fact that you may not know about strawberry…
Did you know a hectare can produce 57.7 tons strawberry? Yes! Cyprus is doing it. The USA follows closely with 56.1 tons. You may say, “Those are developed countries.”
Here’s another fact about strawberry “Kenya has the best weather for strawberry, so we should harvest more per hectare.”
Here is my 50 cent piece of advice, “Buy strawberry runners from an expert.”
This is because there are over 30 varieties in Kenya. A first-time grower would not be able to distinguish- one from another.
THAT’S WHERE I COME IN. I will show you the Chandler variety. My runners have proven yield potential, and are free of diseases. Should you purchase from elsewhere, you could be left on your own to try your luck, or get a wrong variety.
Surely, that’s a bad place to be…
Yet you’d want someone to guide you- Who is a phone call away and who’d be willing to visit your farm.
Who’s ready to teach you: How to control diseases, the right fertilizers to use, when and how to harvest. So that you can succeed in every way!
Further, I am a graduate of Horticulture from Egerton University, not to mention the many years of field practice under my belt.
How much will these cost me?
Well, one runner costs 15 shillings. That means 5,000 runners will cost you KES 75,000 shillings. But consider this as an investment. In a number of months, you will start earning revenue, and this can go on for 3-5 years. These 5,000 runners will cover an area of 20 M X 20 M.
Here is the value that you will receive after placing an order of 5,000 runners
  • Free technical advice on the type of fungicides, pesticides, and fertilizers to use. 
  • A free PRODUCTION MANUAL worth KES. 1,000 showing you a step by step process of fertilizer application, pest control, when and how to harvest.
  • A free KNAPSACK SPRAYER worth KES. 2,500
  • A free 2 MONTHS SUPPLY of carefully selected FOLIAR FEED worth KES. 5,000 that will ensure rapid development of roots immediately after transplanting. The foliar feeds supply the most needed but deficient minerals in most soils in Kenya.
  • A 20 kg bag of specially formulated HIGH POTASSIUM FERTILIZER worth KES 5,500. This fertilizer enhances fruit development. You will never find this fertilizer in any ORDINARY agro-vet shop around the country as it is imported from Israel. In fact, and this is a ‘SECRET’- this fertilizer is what will make you get amazing returns from your strawberry farm.
How much yield should I expect from the 5,000 runners?
You can harvest up to 1-2 tons from that space. But that will depend on a number of factors. Like are you using the correct fertilizer, how is the weather, are you doing some irrigation etc.
One kilo goes for 400 shillings. That means you can sell up to 400,000 shilling. If you remove your expenses form this amount, you could remain with as much as 250 K or more.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO GROW STRAWBERRY, CONTINUE READING…
Conditions a favoring the growth of strawberry
Strawberries must be exposed to full sun and a uniform temperature of 20-30 degrees. They need protection from wind as winds dry fruit and plants during the growing season.
The plant can grow in various soils from sandy loam to clay. Strawberry will respond positively to high organic matter content in the soil.
Strawberry prefers slightly acidic soil with a ph of 5.5-6.5.
Where not to grow strawberry.
You should not grow where the following crops have been planted before. Strawberries, potatoes, beans, carrots, peppers, okra, eggplants, alfalfa, vine crops, have grown as certain diseases and insect pests, fungal diseases like black rot, verticillium wilt. Also avoid sites which have been infested with sedge, nut grass, quack grass, Johnson grass.
How to plant strawberry
You plant strawberries in holes big enough to slightly spread the roots out. And deep enough to bring the soil halfway up the crown. Make sure the crown is above the soil.
Management of runners.
Position the runners with about 15 cm spacing between them. Only allow a few runners per plant, then remove additional runners to promote crown growth.
The width of each bed should be limited to 60 cm to maintain easy access to the planting. Runner plants that grow outside the 60 cm should be pruned back into the bed to root or be removed if the plants become too crowded.
The runners can be positioned into the desired row width before they root and held in place with small stones, clumps of soil or hair pins.
Soon after planting, the crowns will produce a few leaves and flower buds. During the planting year, all flowers should be removed. This will encourage the growth runners and plant vigor.
The runners will be able to fill out the bed, leading to better yields the following year.
Spacing Of Strawberry Plants
Mother plants are 45cm apart in rows of 1-meter Daughter plants are spaced to root no closer than 4 inches apart. All other runners are pulled out or cut from mother plants.
The roots grow following a fixed pattern of three new roots emerging from each side of the base of the leaf. Generally, there are 20-35 primary active roots.
The root system is located mainly in the upper 20 cm layer of soil. The root system is shallow, with 80-90% in the top 15 cm.
A primary root lives for one year and is replaced by newer roots as new leaves are formed at successively higher levels of the crown. Fertility, water supply, and aeration at soil depths greater than 15 cm are a major concern.
Placing 2-3 cm of soil layer over plant bed after harvest will enhance new root formation and make the plant less vulnerable to cold and drought.
Fertilization
After the first harvest, in the second season, strawberries should be fertilized after rejuvenation. Water the fertilizer to get down to the root zone. This application is made in a vigorous condition and to promote new growth and thus the development of these new fruit buds.
Harvesting
Berries ripen 28-30 days after they bloom. The time between first blooms to full bloom can be 11-12 days. A great increase in the number of ripe fruit occurs over a period of first 4-6 days of harvest.
Berries are harvested every other day under normal temperature for about 6-7 pickings.
Avoid picking the fruit when the plants are wet. Keep harvested berries out of the sun and place them under refrigeration as soon as possible.
Pick berries when they are fully colored for optimal size and flavor. Berries do not improve in quality after picking.
Harvested berries should be sold and delivered within 24 hours to avoid spoilage. About six pickers can harvest an acre of berries or 10,000 pounds over the season.
An average picker can harvest 10 quarts per hour over the entire season. Under excellent conditions, up to 175 quarts may be harvested by an average picker.
Hand pick berries daily and pick all berries that are ripe. Toss out moldy berries to prevent rots from spreading.
Strawberry production can go on for 3-5 years if plants are vigorous bed is weed free and the planting is properly renewed every year.
Strawberry plants tend to be infected with leaf diseases which may result in declining yields if not treated timely.
To prevent overcrowding of plants reduces the incidence of leaf diseases then plants to 5-7 plants per 30 cm to 30 cm, next spread a light 1-2 cm layer over remaining plants does not bury the crowns.

How to grow spinach the easy and profitable way

Dear farmer,

You can earn 250,000 shillings per month growing spinach on one acre. Yes! This is very possible. Here is a little story of a multinational company with interests in agriculture all over the world.

That company is Unilever. Spinach contributes 28% of Unilever key crops. Tea contributes 16%; peas 13% while tomatoes and palm oil contribute 7% respectively.

One thing I do know, the big boys like Unilever know where the money is. It is nowhere else other than the production and processing of spinach.

Growing spinach is a golden goose, often misunderstood. Once you discover its secret, it will lay golden eggs for you — FOR A LONG-LONG TIME.

IF you are searching for fresh ideas that will help you earn more…

THEN, read on. After reading this article, you will realize spinach production is VERY-VERY profitable.

Your bank account will overflow with money. Raising school fees will be easy like rowing downstream. In fact your neighbors will be green with envy as they see you drive the latest Toyota model.

They will wonder as you drive past them, the source of your new found wealth.

If only they knew your secret…

Here are experiences of organizations and people earning a living from spinach.

After retiring from service in 1985, I ventured into poultry farming. My 12,000 broilers died in 1997 and left me desolate. I pooled resources and planted spinach on an eighth of my land as spinach grows very fast. In a short time, I started selling the vegetables. In a month, I earn up to 60,000 shilling from 1/8 acre

Here are some basic facts why spinach is increasingly becoming popular.

According to Dutch scientists from the University of Leiden, spinach contains tyrosine an amino acid that stimulates the production of dopaline a hormone enhancing mental abilities. The basis of Steve Jobs success was he ate foods rich in tyrosine like spinach, bananas almonds and peaches.

Spinach is rich in calcium, phosphorus and vitamin A.

So, what is the key to successful spinach production?

Here is what John Navazio an agricultural consultant says:

“To appreciate why spinach misbehaves, one must recognize the plants humble origins. It is a cool season crop originally grown in fall and winter in the Middle East.”

To grow spinach profitably you must understand its likes and dislikes. Spinach is a cool season crop. Temperatures above 27 degrees can retard its growth.

Second, spinach does not like an acidic soil. It prefers a soil with a PH of 6-7.5

It also requires light showers accompanied by periods of sunlight. Heavy rains lead to attack of spinach by downy mildew disease.

That is why there is a shortage of spinach in the months of April through May and October through December in Kenya. This is because spinach is devastated by downy mildew, a disease prevalent during the rainy season. downy mildew in spinach1

Downy mildew disease is very difficult to control once your spinach is attacked. This results to a biting spinach shortage during the above said months.

So, how can you take advantage of the weakness of spinach and earn good money from it?

FACT: Selling the vegetable in the months of shortage earns more. Therefore, you must time production to match peak market and shortage. To do this, establish your nursery at MID March for long rains season and MID October for short rains season.

Doing that ensures that the spinach is at the nursery in the time of heaviest rainfall. The seedlings will be ready for transplanting when the rain is subsiding. And will reach maturity when the rain is almost ending.

The reason why it’s best to establish a nursery during the rainy season is “you can easily control diseases in the nursery”

At the nursery, you can easily monitor diseases and spray suitable fungicides regularly.

Cover the nursery with a plastic sheet to avoid the plants getting excessive rain and avoid an attack by downy mildew disease.

Further, the nursery acts as storehouse of your spinach plants. They await there for the opportune time for transplanting.

Avoid growing spinach in low lying areas that are prone to flooding as flooding increases the incidence of disease.
