His story made me subscribe, I love his willingness to share what he has learnt and his articulate n eloquent communication. He is a great inspiration.
you are a kind generous man to so willingly share so much information. I used an old grandmother suggestion to get my passionfruit off to a good start. This was her tip. Dig three holes each 2 feet deep and 18 inches wide. FIRST hole to be 2 feet to the LEFT of where you will be planting your new passionfruit SECOND hole to be 2 feet to the RIGHT of where you will be planting your new passionfruit THIRD hole to be 2 feet away from directly the front of where you will be planting your new passionfruit At the bottom of each hole put in one inch high of gypsum. Then on top of the gypsum in EACH hole put ONE complete BULLS LIVER in each hole, (had to order in from a local butcher) Do NOT chop up the liver - leave it completely intact. Then top each bulls liver with 2 inches of chicken or pidgeon manure. fresh is OK Now cover each hole with the dirt you removed. It will be higher than before but gradually the soil will subside as the bull's liver composts down i also mulch the soil in front of and up to six feet away from the plant (NEVER allowing the mulch to touch the stem of the plant) with a generous layer of pea straw to keep the soil it grows in nice and cool. my passionfruit hardly grew the first year but in the second year it must have tapped into the super rich soil 2 feet away. From then on it has been amazing. SIX years later it remains very green and fruits well.
I am inspired by those great stories. My father was a farmer for half of his life. And I feel that farmer is in my veins. I want to go back home and start my own farming stories. I hope that your stories can empower me to get up and take the leap of faith. Thank you for those inspiring stories.
This is an excellent video, the best one i've found so far. There was really great information and i am going to use this video to plant a 1/2 acre of lilikoi (passion fruit) on my farm
Waaooo i will send my dad this video ...he loves passion fruits soo much..but he does it for domestic use only...he can learn 1 or 2 things for his vines..great work.......hes just in gatanga kenya..watching u from pakistan...
Thank you for this inspirational and informative video. I could still hear the engineer lingo when describing the fluctuations in the harvest ( oscillations 😂😂😊 ) and am totally inspired as I too have answered the call of the soil. Thank you so much and God bless your enterprise.
I called Passion fruit because when the Spaniards came to Brasil where it was first or found discovered, the purple color of the fruit reminded them of the passion of Christ, hence the name “Passion Fruit” or “Fruta de la Passion”
Am a passion fruit farm in rubanda, uganda. Am specially impressed by your work. Do plant passion on plots that recently had passion grown on them? Let me wait for your reply
Am Ugandan. Great narration. Engineering background has given him precision in his farming journey, thoroughness. I plan to visit this farm before March 2022. A
As vine ages and slows production, Try to reroot Vine a little higher on the stem below the graft with root stimulus, as willow bark or honey or seaweed or sugar or aspirin !
