I farm 5 hectares of mango trees in California. 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 33 people at work. God bless.
sending love, Marta. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
you're not alone, Marta. Hope you make a strong comeback. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings!
So sorry you're going through this, Marta. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update!
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
