With the high cost of feed how are layers farmers coping?

A zero-waste farm thrives on sustainability, turning every waste/byproduct into value. We can achieve this as follows: 

1. Crops – Grown with compost and fertilized with waste from animals. 
2. Livestock – Manure is used in biogas digesters to produce cooking gas or used to fertilize fields.

Pro tip on biogas digester: If you place manure or plant waste in a sealed compartment without air, they will decay and produce a flammable gas called biogas. You can use it like your normal cooking gas.

3. Composting – Crop residues, manure & food scraps are used to enrich the soil. 

4. Biogas – Animal wastes becomes energy (cooking gas) and fertilizer. 

5. Chickens – Eat scraps, produce eggs, meat & manure for compost. 

6. Rainwater Harvesting – Conserves water for irrigation. 

7. Crop Diversity – Rotation & polyculture boost soil health. 

8. Zero-Waste Market – Nothing is wasted. Crop waste is fed to animals and vice versa. Instead of wasting unmarketable produce, they are processed and fed to animals.

9. Renewable Energy – Solar/wind power is used in farm operations, cutting energy cost.

10. Community Impact – Workshop trainings spread sustainable practices to other farmers. 

A true ecosystem—where nothing is wasted, everything thrives.

Signs:
- Dark green leaves, brittle stems 
- Slow growth, yellow edges (potassium lack) 
- Low yields 

How I Fix it:
1. Prune blocking leaves & side shoots 
2. Spray foliar fertilizer (micronutrients) 
3. Apply NPK (20:10:10) to supply potassium and phosphorus
4. Avoid fresh manure. Use composted manure 

 Pro Tip: If you must use raw manure, plant 60cm from raw manure to protect young roots.

1. Funding a Useless Relationship – They financially support a girlfriend whose only contribution is sex, while draining their wallet. 

2. Buying Clothes to Impress Haters– Instead of re-wearing what they have, they waste money on new outfits just to avoid looking broke. 

3. Prioritizing a Flashy Car Over Stability – They’ll drive a new car but live in a run-down rental, valuing appearances over real wealth. 

4. Paying for Clout at Overpriced Clubs – They drop hundreds on VIP bottles just to flex for strangers, instead of investing that money. 

5. Funding Funerals Over Business – Their crew can’t pool money to start a venture, but they’ll donate $300 for a friend’s dad’s burial. 

6. Taking Aso-Ebi on Credit, Not Opportunity – They’ll go into debt for party outfits but won’t take a loan to build a business. 

The Lesson? 
Stop living for validation and start building with purpose. Don’t burn your capital just because others are spending their profits.

A picture is worth more than a thousand words. Just look at His feet! That's what  He went though to save you and me. He is  coming again, not as a saviour, but as a judge.

Imagine the horrible things He went through.  Do you think if you ignore His invitation that you'll go free? Better repent oo. There will be no mercy. 

Hell is real. Heaven is real. Choose wisely

Different plants need their preffered soil pH range. pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline the soil is. If you plant on a soil with the wrong pH you'll get challenges ranging from poor growth, low yield and diseases.

So if you've been experiencing challenges better check your soil pH.

Growing cucumber is one of the fastest ways to make money. You start harvesting it after 6 weeks. You harvest every 3 to 4 days for a total of 10 times or more. Then you replant and start again. From about 1173 plants I get about 80 bags of cucumber.

A bag of cucumber can sell for N10,000 to N20,000 as of 2024. It cost more during dry season. You can do the Maths for 80 bags. If you find the result interesting, then you need to buy this book and learn how to grow cucumber like a pro. I will also guide you if you have any question.

The book is available on Selar.co. If you want to farm like a pro without making costly mistakes, then you need this book.

And note, a bag of cucumber is now N20,000 and you can get up to 80 bags or more.

The experience you get in this book will also help you grow other crops successfully.

Imagine everyone growing something and then trading the excess with other people that grow another thing. Eg I have excess banana and trade it with people who have excess mango, avocado, sour sop etc.

Isn't that awesome?

My goats hardly drink water until I tried this. Before this trick I have to keep changing their water daily but now I have to keep refilling their water.

Water is good for every living thing, goats inclusive. But goats and sheep hardly drink because they get some water from fresh plants. 

You can encourage them to drink more by adding salt to the water. Try it and see how much water they'll drink.

UPDATE: I believe it is better to have 2 water source for them - fresh water and salt water. That way too much intake of salt will be prevented. Excess salt can cause miscarriage.

Where the money is in the fish farming business is growing and raising your fish to 250-350g and then smoke them and sell

You will get a quick return on your investment. The profit won't be much but on turnover, you will smile

This will take you 8-10 weeks (all things being equal)

You can continue this cycle as long as possible

Instead of doing everything, narrow down your niche
