Greenhouses Zimbabwe

Something brewing in this greenhouse constructed by Total Farm Solutions, My fellow young engineers showing progress done on the project

At times you have to scratch your hair to think what next after some detours but what matters is your reaction to failures. Celebrated my borehole and the joy was shortlived, it collapsed and trying to retrieve the pump it was a unfruitful. All this came with costs that were not planned. Yes i cried at first then told myself tears won't bring me water i have production waiting for me to get it together.

Did i give up?
Answer is No

Follow my story on the borehole saga and m sure you will learn from my mistakes

I am Total Farmer i fight to win in my losses.

Results of good agronomic practices speak for themselves.

.

Greenhouse Farming is a very effective method of growing healthy plants with regard to quality and quantity in a modern way . It is considered as an implementation of intensive agriculture and can provide an increase in crop production as farmers will have more control for creating optimal climate conditions needed for plant growth.

The greenhouse type selection is of crucial importance in the investment profitability. It should mitigate the investment with regard to the time and the production means as well as increase in the crop yield.

A guide to optimising blueberry production Blueberries are a challenging crop to cultivate, as the plants don’t readily absorb key nutrients, and the berries can therefore vary in flavour, quality and size.

Bell pepper production under greenhouse is a good business model. Aim to get at least 5kg per plant.

Rivulis T-Tape being used in the production of garlic in Botswana.

Why t-tape ?

The best water application by far: Closer dripper spacing gives you uniformity of water distribution as the water has less lateral distance to travel to reach all the entire plants’ root zones. Rivulis T-Tape helps make your choice of emitter spacing an agronomic decision, not one based on your bank account.

The best clogging resistance by far: Extra long filtration area gives greater resistance to clogging and with up to to 211 inlets per dripper that work as micro-filters, it means that in the event that one fails, there are ample to take its place. T-Tape utilizes a unique reverse chevron labyrinth, which creates maximum agitation to minimize clogging, and the knife cut outlet closes on shutoff, to prevent the ingress of particulates.

The best strength by far: Double Seam = Double the strength for hassle free installation and easy mechanical retrieval after use.

The most configurations by far: 4 diameters (16, 22, 29 & 35 mm) for flexibility of run-lengths. 8 thicknesses (4 – 15 mil) to match the required lifespan and terrain. 11 emitter spacings to ensure that the there’s a configuration to suit your uniform crop spacing and soil profile. 16 flow rates to provide the maximum versatility of water application.

Labour is one of the biggest costs in most horticultural enterprises and if you don’t pay attention to its impact, you could end up working for your employees.

I once visited a farmer who had an employee who would irrigate a horticultural block with a hose pipe and this is a common site on many homesteads. (Uku ndiko kunonzi “kudhonza tambo” or “kuchipura” pabasa when they get to discuss how strenuous their day was). This is utterly a waste of labour and time. Instead, instal irrigation systems that release your employees to do other duties which require more of their attention than to spend time holding a hose. Help me analyse the wastages here:

1. There is no real measure of how much water is being applied. Too much or too little water can be applied to the detriment of the crop.
2. Time wasting tendencies can be created by the employees if they don’t feel like performing other duties.

A simple solution for the *Total Farmer* would be installing irrigation systems – drip, micro-jets, sprinklers, mister etc. This is just one example, there are numerous other examples where we farmers do not utilize our labour effectively at the expense of the business. The role of the Total Farmer in nowadays farming is to constantly seek ways to reduce his costs so as to remain competitive.

Today let’s discuss what we can do to save labour or to increase its productivity.
1. Invest in Time and Labour Saving Equipment. Machinery and equipment that saves labour is often “expensive” at purchase, but in the long run worth it. In such cases don’t hesitate just buy the piece of equipment.
2. Train you employees on how to perform their tasks effectively.
3. Increase your monitoring and supervision. Don’t take too long without monitoring employees’ performance and giving feedback.
4. Where possible automate the system. Invest in irrigation and climate controllers for your greenhouse or drip irrigation field. Check with TFS engineers for what controller will be ideal for your setup.
5. Hire employees on specific tasks and when they are done, let them go and call them when you need them again.
6. Do a work study before giving out tasks to your employees.
7. Team building and motivation is important if your workers work in teams. This will improve productivity of the whole team.
8. Use herbicides where necessary.
9. Be particular about time management
10. Plan your labour requirements correctly. Factor your labour costs in your cashflows and see the impact of increased costs of labour on your bottom line.

We all have experiences with labour. Can we today share how we have managed to either cut our labour costs or improve our labour productivity, with examples from your greenhouse or horticultural businesses.
