A Million Dollar Kale Farming Technique

The raise in food staff costs together with high rate of unemployment has turnout the perception of kale farming here in Kenya and other countries. Initially growing of kales was never considered as cash generating practice, but just a home core. This is not the case anymore as we are speaking! I have come across guys who are making a great living just growing this basic and almost daily-used vegetable. 

In fact you'll bear me witness that almost every house in Kenya (rich and poor) uses kale( sukuma wiki) isn't it? It’s a basic food vegetable and would never be replaced in regard to its nutritional value. Vegetables provide important components to the body which include calcium, vitamin A, C, K and many others. All these have different but extremely important values in our bodies, right from healthy bones to blood clotting, and this is why eating of kales is irreplaceable no matter ones financial status. 

So what's the million dollar kale farming technique?

Here it is, and in fact you'll understand it better from what you may already know,-It is common to plant kales from seedlings bought from an Agro-chem. Yes? In fact this is what is often taught in many colleges and economic-empowerment workshops. I also shared some basic information on a subtopic Agriculture- kale farming in Kenya under the title "Joblessness-Is it a Personal Choice" But now this technique is far much of a safe shortcut that can make you prosperous in kale farming within a short time. 

Let's break the shell and dig into the idea...! -Prepare your land according the number of stems you wish, this can best be done by raising sections of soils and dividing then into small-room-spaced sizes. Build tunnels around every "soil-boxed" space and let water run around. The section-plots will take water slowly so you don't need to water them directly from above. After you’re done, find someone to buy suckers of kales from. This could be a neighbor or any firm around. You can also ask to be linked with kale farmers who buy in that agro-chem within the area.   

See, the great idea is planting your kales from suckers and not from seeds. Reason being: you'll never luck produces since you'll just be "recycling" your kales from the already existing stems. Another great way to maximize the production is regular pruning. Prune your kales stems to allow spaces on the stem and growth of bigger leaves. Off-cause you can't afford not to keep aphids and any other insects away from your crops. 

You can plan the plots in a manner whereby production remains consistent. And it's simple to achieve this since you just have to create timing-gaps during planting. This tells you the kales in plot A will definitely mature before the ones in plot B. So the moment you finish harvesting those in plot A the ones in B will be ready for sale hence you'll never lose your customers.
