We are checking, researching and doing close observation on all the crops in our garden to know from the roots to the leaves what diseases are affecting them. And at what time the disease or insects attacks the crop, because there are some of the bugs that live at certain times.
The TOMATOES WITH HOLES WERE ATTACKED BY SOME INSECTS.

Here is plan A and B in the making. Tomatoes are planted with 🧅 onions and other garden crops that agreed with each other. If tomatoes is not producing fully because of some reasons we research to find out but onion, pepper 🌶️ or cucumber won't, therefore;
Our times and efforts will not be worthless. We invest wisely in the soil the food which keeps us healthy on a day to day..... Healthy food produce healthy nation

These organically grown tomatoes are sweeter and larger than the one in the red light market

From one we are increasing to twenty because chickens, pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, Guinea fowls, fishes and human eat papaya.
This is an organic feed which brings out worms and cleanses the intestines of the animals thereby fighting some diseases too.

We kept thriving and striving to provide jobs for women and youths in Liberia mostly Montserrado, Margibi and Nimba.
Precisely, it is difficult for educated people to get jobs in Liberia ;what more about illiterate youths and uneducated women. They are our focus. (1) We train them, (2) we instruct them, (3) We supervise them to provide quality vegetable, chicken and fish on the Liberian market. (4) We also have seminars on business management, SELF EMPLOYMENT, proposal writing and business planning. Keep following

Manioc
Why Should We Grow Cassava or manioc?

1. Highly profitable crop-Cassava is more profitable than maize. The gross margins per hector of Cassava is three times higher than that of maize.

2. Ready Market. Cassava is very easy to sell. The domestic market is huge. Cassava is also used for industrial purposes like in baking, making of cardboards, packaging materials, beer, starch, glue, baking and many more. Therefore, the market for both cassava chips and flour is huge.

3. Cassava is drought resistant compared to maize, making it a good for household and national food security.

4. Cassava is easy to store. The crop can be harvested only as needs arise. The surplus can be stored underground thereby resulting in low post harvest losses.

5. The crop is disease resistant. No need for insecticides, thus cheaper and easy to manage.

6. Can grow almost everywhere, regardless of the soil fertility.

7. Multiple uses. All parts of the plant are useful. Leaves can be used for vegetables, stems are used for planting, roots or tubers can be used to make flour, chips, or can be eaten raw.

8. Widely consumed in many African regions countries. Staple food in many regions.

9. Can be processed using the most basic or natural methods like just socking, sun drying and pounding.

10. Huge demand for both domestic and industrial use.

11. Can be inter-cropped with other crops like millet, groundnuts and beans.

12. Does not require any chemical fertilizers, making it cheaper to grow.

13. Rich source of starch and carbohydrates, making it a good security crop.

16. Nutritious. Cassava leaves are nutritious with some medicinal properties.

Snails being hermaphrodite makes it suitable for raising, because you cannot determine the genders

Here are five reasons to incorporate ash into your farming practices:

1️⃣ Improves Soil Fertility: Rich in nutrients like calcium, potassium, and magnesium, ash helps regulate soil acidity and strengthen its structure.

2️⃣ Reduces Pests: Sprinkling ash around plants can repel pests such as slugs and snails.

3️⃣ Stimulates Plant Growth: When applied in moderation, ash enhances crop health and increases plant vigor.

4️⃣ Fights Nematodes: Thanks to its disinfecting properties, ash helps reduce the presence of nematodes in the soil, leading to healthier roots and better crop productivity.

5️⃣ Economical and Natural: Ash is a free, sustainable, and ecological resource—perfect for small farmers and those seeking natural alternatives.

🌍 Ash is beneficial for both gardens and large farms. Make the most of this natural resource!

But be careful not put it directly near a tomato, garden eggs,pepper , or other small vegetables. Pawpaw, cassava yam, plantain, banana 🍌, and even rice can grow 🪴 very well when the presence of ash is there cocoyam grows healthy in ashes too.
