Simiyu's onions crop is failing - can an expert help?
Looking for an agronomist or experienced grower to advise on pests destroying the seedlings.

I farm 4 hectares of onions in Mombasa. This season I'm dealing with pests destroying the seedlings. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Simiyu. Hope the shop reopens soon. Love from Orlando.
Small businesses are the heart of Likoni. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
you're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you make a strong comeback. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
you're not alone. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't give up. God bless.
keep going, Simiyu. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Likoni
Praying for you, Simiyu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
So sorry you're going through this, Simiyu. This could happen to any of us.
Sending strength, Simiyu. Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Pokhara.
Thinking of you and your family, Simiyu. Hope you make a strong comeback. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

wishing you peace, Simiyu. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Sacramento this morning. Love from Sacramento
