I farm 4 hectares of cassava in Kisumu. This season I'm dealing with rising soil salinity. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

- 30 minutes
- format

Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Kediri
Best of luck, Okello. Small businesses are the heart of Kisumu. Hope you're open again soon. Put this on a community board in Caloocan this morning. All the best
