Simple solutions to increase productivity of small scale farmers in Africa!

small scale farmers around the world have to struggle with so many issues including lack of space, pest control, lack of access to healthy and organic fertilizer not to mention water that is becoming an even bigger problem in so many parts of the world.

There are many solutions that can help increase the yield of each plant by using solutions such as trellies.

During our visits in different parts of Ghana, we never saw any farmer using trellis for their tomatoes, cucumbers or eggplants.

With bamboo being widely available in many parts of ghana at very low cost, it is possible to create efficient and low cost trellis like the ones in this image to increase the efficiency of many crops and at the same time make it easier to fight the weeds and pests.

It also creates a natural shield against heavy rain and strong sunshine while making it easier for farmers to take care of their plants and harvest their produce.

Tiny Tim tomato seeds saved for future and sharing.

Using paper towel makes it dry fast and clean. It also makes it possible to mail it all over the world using normal envelopes.

The system is fool proof and i have been doing it since 2018.

I will make a few more of these to save and take with me to Ghana. It will be fun to introduce a new tomato to schools and orphanages and to help them grow their own tomatoes in the kitchen and classrooms.
