would like to buy 4more vertical bags for planting vegetablea.I started a vegetable kitchen garden in April.I installed three bags that has various vegetables such as spinach and indigenous African vegetables. So far the vegetables are doing well and I have started harvesting for my family use.This enabled me save KES 1200 in the month of May.I received Kes4742 from zidisha which I used to install 3 more bags.The bags are doing well and I will start harvesting by end of may.As at now I have 6bags.
Each bag costs Kes1000 to install. and can hold upto 100plants.if each plant can give you vegetables worth at
pesticide is kes 500
Seedlings at KES 300
I will be able to harvest vegetables worth KES 5000 per week and hence receive an income of KES 20000 per month.
As I had proposed earlier I still intend to get four more bags ,seedlings and some pesticides.My target is to have 10bags. In order to realise my target of 500per day.
