An agronomist's advice for Zawadi's potatoes farm in Nairobi
Looking for an agronomist or experienced grower to advise on rising soil salinity.
Anywhere in the world1,212 views
I farm 3 hectares of potatoes in Nairobi. 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.

Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Nairobi.
Thinking of you and your family. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Marrakesh.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 40 people at work. Greetings from Riverside!
You're not alone, Zawadi. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Nairobi
you're not alone, Zawadi. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Nijmegen this morning. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Nairobi.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
take care. Hope you make a strong comeback. Blessings
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 15 people at work
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning. All the best
Sending love, Zawadi. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Leeds
praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Arlington
