I farm 1 hectares of onions in New South Wales. This season I'm dealing with failing irrigation in the dry months. I've tried what the local suppliers recommended, but results aren't improving. I'm looking for an agronomist or experienced grower who can look at photos, soil-test results and my planting plan, and advise on what to change. A 30-minute call or exchange of messages would be fantastic. I'm happy to share photos and a soil test. I'm using only what I can afford, so low-cost suggestions are best. I'll share how it goes - and what worked - to help others in the community. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Keep going. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.

    • Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Moscow but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Parramatta.

            Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Frankfurt.
