What have we learnt so far?

- Use bigger pots
- Don't miss the scheduling of nutrients
- Growing Lights 💡= rapid growth

#VerticalFarming is great for urban growers or anyone that doesn't have space

Great work @PontsoMoletsane 👑🦁

@PontsoMoletsane founder of @yellowbeasttec is working on some vertical farming projects. 🌾🌱
He set this up recently and planted spinach, bell peppers, tomatoes and chilli. 🍅🌶️

Only the spinach has survived so far coz of the recent heat and late application of nutrients

We're talking production plans, expansion into Africa, the DesertGreen App and the trip to Canada.

The start-up life got us meeting on a Sunday but it's ok coz we ❤️ agriculture and we want to help Africa feed itself
