Good news for South Africans. 🇿🇦

You do not need to own a motorcycle to qualify for a scooter delivery job.

RTT has partnered with Honda Motorcycles to offer a 3-year rent-to-own programme at a cost of just R350 per week.

The next step is for South Africans to acquire their motorcycle licences so they can take advantage of these employment opportunities. 🇿🇦🏍️✊🏽

@Joe__Bassey How come you talk about people on 30-day visitors passport or political refugees as if they are investors in South Africa.

Vertical Potato Growing Towers: A Space-Saving Garden Innovation
The image above showcases an ingenious method for growing potatoes vertically using stacked soil and mesh enclosures. This technique transforms a traditionally space-hungry crop into a compact, high-yield garden feature — perfect for backyard growers who want maximum production in minimal space.
For anyone interested in raised beds, edible landscaping, or efficient garden systems, this is a powerful concept.

What Is a Potato Growing Tower?
A potato tower is essentially:
A cylindrical or rectangular enclosure
Lined with mesh, wire, or fabric
Filled gradually with soil and organic matter
Planted with seed potatoes at the base
As the plants grow upward, more soil is added to encourage additional tuber formation along the buried stems.
The result? A dense vertical column of potatoes.

Why This Method Works
🥔 1. Encourages Layered Tuber Production
Potatoes form along buried stems. By continually adding soil:
You increase the growing zone
Stimulate additional tuber formation
Maximize output per square foot
This is ideal for small yards or urban gardens.

🌱 2. Efficient Use of Space
Traditional rows require wide spacing. Towers:
Use vertical volume
Fit into corners or tight areas
Can be grouped for a modular look
You could easily integrate several of these into a raised-bed layout.

🌿 3. Improved Drainage & Soil Control
The contained system allows you to:
Control soil composition
Blend compost and straw
Improve drainage
Reduce compaction
This can lead to healthier root development.

Design Details From the Image
We can see:
Wire mesh or netting forming the outer wall
Soil and organic material packed inside
Potatoes visibly forming along the interior layers
Straw used in some versions for aeration
Plants growing from the top surface
In the final image, the structure is opened and reveals an impressive harvest — dozens of potatoes from a small footprint.

How to Build a Simple Potato Tower
Materials:
Wire mesh or hardware cloth (3–4 ft tall)
Stakes for support
Compost-rich soil
Straw (optional for layering)
Seed potatoes
Basic Steps:
Form the mesh into a cylinder (about 2–3 feet in diameter).
Secure with stakes.
Add 6–8 inches of soil.
Place seed potatoes around the perimeter.
Cover with soil.
As plants grow 6–8 inches, add more soil.
Repeat until the tower is full.
Harvest by removing the mesh.

Backyard Design Integration Ideas
If you enjoy cohesive outdoor design, consider placing potato towers:
Along a fence line
Behind raised vegetable beds
Near a compost station
Adjacent to a chicken run (chickens love potato scraps after harvest)
You could even create a structured edible garden layout with towers as focal vertical elements.

Pros & Considerations
Advantages:
High yield per square foot
Easy harvest
Great for small spaces
Visually unique
Considerations:
Needs consistent watering
Soil may settle over time
Not all potato varieties respond equally well
Yield depends on proper layering technique

Estimated Cost
DIY version:
$30–$80 per tower depending on materials
Premium framed version:
$100–$200 with reinforced structure

Final Thought
Vertical potato towers are a smart blend of productivity and creativity.
They challenge the traditional idea that root crops require large plots and instead turn vertical space into opportunity.

FNB & LOFTUS were full this weekend and #Sundowns will take the two trophies that the four teams were playing for in these two games. One trophy is in the bag. The trophy they were playing for at FNB will be in the bag in May. It was a Sundowns weekend madoda😂

North Africans are bullies.

I don't want to see Wydad winning today

They must go home knowing that South Africans can play & beat them fair & square.
