True.

This is amazing! I can achieve this also and would welcome commercial opportunities once I purchase the necessaries and reestablish my grow routines.
Thanks for sharing

Wow nice farming of cabbage..what the total production cost pls?and how much are the buying at the market?

[@FarmWithFred]

Ksh 7 per head

[@episenseorganics4496]

Fred do you mean 7ksh or 70ksh per head 7bis too low naivasha it's 50ksh per head today farm gate price

[@FarmWithFred]

@@episenseorganics4496 Am talking of cost of production not market price

[@isupport2025]

Cost of production: 40,000 heads x ksh 7= 280,000
Produce sale: 40,000 heads x ksh20(varies with current market price)=ksh800,000
Profit: ksh 800,000-ksh280,000=ksh 520,000
Monthly income: ksh 520,000÷4(nursery to harvest period)=ksh 130,000

How do you plant the cabbage on the drip? Do you plant on each side or just one cabbage seedling to one drip hole?

[@FarmWithFred]

You follow the spacing procedure 60cn by 60cm no matter the irrigation

[@alenajoseph6182]

Fred what to use for nematodes in the soil

[@FarmWithFred]

Use velum

[@soumareoumar1631]

Thanks Fred
I am also doing irrigation cabbage but my problem is that the cabbage start to rot inside before harvest.
What do you think is the cause?
Thanks 👍

[@FarmWithFred]

This is a fungal disease. Use copper based products to control the disease
