Excellent video. Your presentation and teaching skills are terrific. It is very generous of you to share the very good methods you are perfecting at Mondo Farms. Thank you for going into detail about your drip system. The standardization of bed length, the ability to use your tape for multiple growing seasons and different vegetables, maintaining the spacing of the lines - all great information. What would be farmers have to remember is once the mainline system is installed, the only conditions they control (and the only conditions that really matter for good growth) is the frequency and duration of the watering period. What a wonderful gift to any entrepreneur who would like to make a living farming vegetables for human consumption. Keep up the good work and all the best wishes! :)
Thanks for sharing ,I'm learning a lot and gaining more and more to put into practice 🇿🇼 Learning my lessons along the way still battling on 1st Productions ,Experience is the best teacher .
It's always a pleasure to watch you from London. Keep up the good work. Uncle Kabalika from London. I hope you haven't forgotten me. Regards to the family.
I like everything about this channel including the production except the "SHOES".....you got on. How "FRENCH" is that? 😅😅😅😅. Dress shoes at the farm is just amazing 😂. I hope you get us many many new and great things. Success to you sir. Thank your hard working colleagues on our part. Thank you ❤
You're most welcome. A lot of the success in vegetable farming comes from market timing. Being able to grow a crop when there isnless on the market. But that needs a level of experience and expertise. There are reasons why most vegetables are grown in certain seasons (weather, pests), and trying to work against them can be quite hard. All the best.
Can I ask what is the size of your main line for the water and the size of the line where the drip lines are connected. Also what is the size of each block?
The main supply from the water reservoir is 50mm, then when we reach the blocks, we reduce to 40mm. The drip tape is tapped off the 40mm because of the length of the beds. The blocks at Kondwani 1 are 20m long and have 20 beds in them. That is just our preference and what we have grown to be used to over the years.
Mondo Farm, you are not consistent in your video postings...I looked for your new content, but I didn't. I started entertaining the possibility that you may have wound up. Thanks for this new one. watching from Nairobi.
I hear you. Work pressure has been intense this year, with a lot of deliverables and moving parts in all the companies I lead. But we will keep trying to produce videos as regularly as possible.
We also try to produce videos that are interesting and appealing to the audience. One challenge is to avoid repeating previous subjects. Thanks for the support.
Sorry, Ba Michael. We don't normally share figures about our business unless they are directly related to the story of the video. Other channels are happy to. All the best.
( 1mtrs wide bed + 5 driplines ) and 6 rows of carrots ???? Normally 2 carrots rows per 1 dripperline with spacing between carrots rows of 20 cms . This 5 dripperline seems too close to each other . Good try and thanks for video
Great impressive work out there. So inspiring.
Thanks
Continue the good works. This is one of the best UA-cam channels that I follow. I just upgraded to category “excellence” on my list.
Wow, thanks!

What methods do you use to deal the weeds?
We do a lot of manual weeding. Constantly and consistently.

You fail to notice that he sometimes shows u a video of a crop from start to harvest..this process takes months.
I think the delay is because Agricultural content cannot be fast tracked due to obvious plant growth periods

How many kgs do you expect from one block?
It depends on so many factors. Get an idea from the seed sellers
Nrdc power💪
Indeed. I want to visit NRDC one day. I have never been there.

Where is this Monday farm
You can find the location of our two farms on Google Maps by searching Mondo Farms.
( 1mtrs wide bed + 5 driplines ) and 6 rows of carrots ????
Normally 2 carrots rows per 1 dripperline with spacing between carrots rows of 20 cms .
This 5 dripperline seems too close to each other .
Good try and thanks for video
Thanks for your comment. There are many different ideas, each of which is valid in its own right.
All the best.
