PREPARING LAND BEFORE PLANTING FRUIT TREES

PREPARING THE LAND BEFORE  PLANTING FRUIT TREES

 

at Golden Grove Avocados Farm

At Golden Grove Avocados Farm, we believe that a good harvest begins with proper land preparation. Before the rainy season starts, farmers need to get their fields ready so that fruit trees like avocados, mangoes, and others can grow strong and healthy.

The first step is to clear the land by removing weeds, stones, and unnecessary bushes. After this, we dig holes that are wide and deep enough to support the roots of the young trees. Normally, each hole is about 60 cm wide and 60 cm deep, giving enough space for the roots to expand.

To enrich the soil, we use natural fertilizers from the livestock we keep on our farm. Manure from cows, goats, and chickens is mixed with the soil and placed at the bottom of each hole. This organic fertilizer improves soil fertility, provides nutrients, and helps the young fruit trees grow faster and stronger.

Finally, the farmer should wait for the first rains before planting. Once the rains begin, the seedlings are carefully planted, and the soil is pressed gently around the roots to avoid air gaps. This preparation ensures that fruit trees such as avocados and mangoes establish well and produce abundantly in the future.

At Golden Grove Avocados Farm, we are committed to teaching and practicing sustainable farming methods that protect the soil, use organic manure, and guarantee healthy fruit for our communities.
