I farm 1 hectares of potatoes in Jerusalem. 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Jerusalem.
hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
So sorry you're going through this, Benny. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Lagos donated after I showed her your page. All the best
so sorry you're going through this, Benny. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Jerusalem. I'll ask around and let you know.

Sending good thoughts. Small businesses are the heart of Jerusalem. Hope you're open again soon. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Jerusalem
