PROFITABILITY OF HORTICULTURE
My take.
SOIL AND WATER TESTING
If you are to venture into horticulture and win, do not make a mistake of thinking soil testing and water tearing are overrated... You will be dumb to reason like that... THIS IS OUR FIRST AND MOST CRUCIAL STEP.
SEED SELECTION
When we talk about hybrid seeds... As much as I don't like them, hybrid seed will give you their best and best harvest you can ever get. But even heirloom seeds are equally good but your best bet will be hybrid seeds. Se tshowe ke tlhwatlhwa... Tshoswa ke dipoelo.
A packed of 2500 seeds of cabbage at 700bucks will give you at least P16k ha go padile and so plant 2 packets and get back to me.
PEST AND DISEASES CONTROL
Batho ba ha ba re hybrid seed are good in managing pests and diseases... Ke iponetse. You spend less on agro chemicals as along as your garden area is clean and well kept. Just make sure your watering circle and volumes are good

So what's your next move?
