AFRICAN TIGRESS, YOUR KENYAN SISTER
This was a big disappointment mainly due to negligence but we have a better team working on the ground now! Here was the previous episode: czcams.com/video/KPBQ96ElKtg/video.html
Thank you for always supporting #teamtigress please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE.
hEy TigRess great content, what is the title of that song (the generic song) and the artist name aswell please

Hello African tigress l see your vision l am Kenyan in agriculture field in USA l can offer you advice how you can make your farm very profitable and modern. Hit me up please
@@AFRICANTIGRESS my sister from another mother, just saying, but did you ever thought about planting some coconuts 🌴 or other food most of our African families like such as plantains, bananas, cassavas and sweet potatoes like they do in the Caribbean? Maize (corn) is good too but they take up ⬆️ so much space.😮
@@jrtutone3311 send me an email please theafricantigress @gmail.com
This farm is massive and just like you said it requires patience. I can't wait for export to begin
Me too darling
Don't take my comment as trolling or negative. Get your workers to cut grass and weeds throughout your farm.The avacardors look a bit yellowish like they are not getting enough nutrients and rain. You already have water available, get them to water the plants .You may also need natural manure to boost plant . Keep up the good work, and I wish you well.
Thank you. The previous worker failed. The clearing you seen on some sections is a new team.
@AFRICAN TIGRESS workers don't take their work seriously.
@@AFRICANTIGRESS very bad of them it’s very sad make sure you get someone to always check. We also have palm kennel farm too. The one that produces red oil. It’s hard but with time you will enjoy it. We were frustrated at the beginning but now no.
@@AFRICANTIGRESS sis, make sure that you vet people before they start working on your farm! 🙏
I understand, goat manure is really good.
It’s extremely important that you do not give up. Nothing comes easy. Proud of you sister. Farming is the best thing that you can do to become self sufficient and independent of the system.
This video reminds me of when I used to travel to Jamaica with my family several times a year. The children loved it. Especially, chasing the baby animal and waking up early to go out with their grandfather to feed the animals. They are all professionals now and give back to Jamaica in many ways. Bless up to you and your family.
One step at a time, you'll get there. Getting started is already a huge achievement. Well done, proud of you AT!
Thank you Tari
I'm very much into farming, currently focusing more on permaculture principles. This means less inputs with outputs increasing over time to an abundance, I wish to be able to visit other people who are into farming and permaculture in particular
Thanks for the update and wish the replacement plants will grow to maturity. It's a big farm and congrats for the investment diversity
Thank you Engineer
Don't give up my sister, being a Zimbabwean myself I cherish farming and seeing that farm of yours reminds me of home, you have a good farm. My advice is that with farming especially when u are just starting, u have to regularly be present. Farming is a good hustle .
Wow the land is very beautiful, don't give up, farming is not easy, but you will enjoy it's fruits in future. Those avocado trees are soon coming up. Happy to see your home village.
Thank you Agnes for the encouragement
As the avocado 🥑 are growing you can plant other crops in between during rainy season as you till the ground that will help certain nutritional development for the trees
Wow you encourage me alot, the farm is huge, i hope the workers take this seriously and do their almost best to make the project successful
Do not worry Sis. This is great progress. You have the right mind. You are thinking and taking action beyond CZcams. 🙏🏾👸🏾👏🏾🌻💖
beautiful countryside. Also I like how the homes are still viewable but not too close. You have a enough space to build a mini compound.
Thank you 😊
Hope the best for you and your family farm sister Tigress. 😊 Keep striving while you have your businesses including your channel and much more.
I'm so proud of you ...keep up the good work...keeping you in prayer.
The dry conditions look like you could grow feed corn for the cattle or chicken feed (if it's non-gmo to fatten up beef-cattle) but grass fed is much healthier we know now. 🐓Laying hens might work? People want eggs for quick protein.
Mulching mulching mulching
We are hear for you dear.waiting😍
That goat need to be in pot with some good curry and black masala and cumin and other spices
Come let's prepare that
A miracle will come your way soon keep the faith sister ❤️❤️❤️🇯🇲
Thank you Patricia ❤️

Sooo green... Looks like it's been raining heavily there. I miss the fresh air down there
Oh yes it's been raining. I miss you 🥺
@@AFRICANTIGRESS missing u here aswell
Thanks for the farm update. Good farm help is difficult to secure so work with easy systems to run. The land is a large expanse and you best work it in blocks. Demarcate sections where you concentrate resources and attention.
My little research in the avocado plantation subject indicated need for drip irrigation.
0) Have faith in God and his plans for you.
1) Establish a water reservoir on high ground ( brick built or plastic ) then lay drip irrigation hoses from a header pipe across the top section of the demarcated field. Holes at each plant.
2) Ensure the two (2) types of complementary avocado varieties to be planted. Majority can be Hass and the other type will be few . This is to encourage pollination as flowers ( Male and female) open alternately between varieties.
3) Establish a reliable water pump ( preferably solar powered ) to pump water to the reservoir at the top or higher part of the field.
4) Research on plant density vs canopy management of the plantation.
5) I think the ponds require pvc lining at the bottom . They should have some brick built areas and preferably cascade into each other. I.e. water pump to top pond cascading , controllably to other. Put a fountain like feature to ensure PLENTY OF OXYGEN in the pond. ( the fish pond waterfall at Sam Levy village 🇿🇼 works that way) that just brings water up then down into the pond. I see security as a major issue for the fish ponds though. All the best 🇿🇼
The farm workers need to do their best.The greenery is breathtaking✔
That's true NL biggest challenge was negligence
True
Hi Tigress nice to see you venturing into farming.....I was wondering if you know why your young seedlings are dying? I have noticed there's no mulching....at the base of the young plants the soil needs to be covered with either dead or dry grass to conserve moisture throughout. The timing of watering is important too. I should water later afternoon when the sun is not hot allowing the plant to take in water overnight...I see you've plenty of water and can do some serious farming in your large farm.
The holes in the cow peas are due to pest infestation and not hail.Hail will completely decimate a crop. You might need to spray some pesticide The weeds/grass around the avocados need to be removed. The weeds are competing for nutrients with the avocado. Too many weeds. One should be able to spot the avocado easily.
Lois, I'm trying to so much to get things in order hopefully in a few months it will get better
I see a good progress dont give up on your farm those tree will grow they only need water
Thank you Maria
Am a farmer but I can a sure mobile farming is not easy.. most of the time u must be at the farm atlist twice a month.. cos as I see it it needs cleaning weeding etc. and also bcos the crops are still small u can mix farming put some maize to keep it clean, on a dry season work on drip irrigation.
Mildred I think it would have been better if I was around tbh. Imagine something going wrong and learning about it too late
Ms. Tigress, you have an excellent piece of and. I love that you have a river running through
Hi the acreage of the land is good to engage in profitable farming. Keep goats in goat pens, for meat, dairy goat very profitable - goat milk sales, goat milk is healthy, with opportunity for value addition yogurt etc. You have enough land to plant fodder crops with readily available water, goats are easier to manage than cows (but still keep a few dairy cows)plus have a higher rate of multiplication. Supplement with kienyeji chickens deep litter or with limited free range foraging, sell kienyeji eggs & chicken for meat. Use the chicken, goat droppings & cow manure for biogas to power the farm, cooking and lighting. Good luck
Keep watering the Avocado Trees, they might make it❤
Sure, won't give up yet
Hope things get better for you. Much love ❤❤
Wishing you the best, that’s a lot of land but the guys may not know how to really farm. In the USA at here is also an organic spray to keep the flies from biting the cows. They are stressed from the flies. Perhaps you can visit a farm and get any pointers on irrigation and pest control. God bless you many times over.
Good starting is always tough. Just keep it with faith and keep going
Thank you Faye
avocados need a lot more water to be productive....consider building watershed toughs and dams on the hillside to slow water flow and allow water to percolate into the ground ensuring sufficient ground water for all trees all the time. do mulch your trees too and get them compost
That's a very wonderful project, African Tigress! Keep up great work!!
You could also grow some short term fruits and vegetables for money.
Winston Churchill once said: 'If you're going through hell, keep going'. You'll make it!
Yes Nick .💯
Exactly nothing good comes without challenges
African Tigress connect with Pamela n John at Joint hands Tree Life Nursery they have a nursery there in Kenya and various projects..I believe avocados are Hass and are preferably for restaurants. They have UTUBE channel reach out to them they r knowledgeable.
My other recommendation is Kataps farm..he too is full of knowledge and wisdom.
These are people there that can assist you..
Your property is amazing as you are! ❤
Thanl you so much for reccomendatiom
Good job.
I think the replacement avocados are too young, they'll disappoint you. The success rate in avocado farming is greatly determined by the quality of the seedlings planted.
Change your farm worker(s) and allow the new worker(s) to grow their own things in the farm between the avocados. Intercropping will make the farm clean of weeds. Will motivate the farm worker(s) to work harder.
My Avocado farm is near Ndori, bring your new worker(s) for benchmarking.
Beautiful land your crops will be blessed and you will have bountiful harvest year after year. Don’t give up keep courage 🙏🏽
Thank you Paulette
This is Beautiful. My home Village is somewhere around there.
Invite me
@@AFRICANTIGRESS😂😂Funny i can't even find my Village, we usually take those Bodaboda guys by the Roadside. It should be near Nyangoma High School. Some of my Cousins went to School there❤
That is home kababa siaya
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why, we're ready to support you sweetheart ❤❤
🎉🎉
Tigress one fact if you’re not there to oversee the work it will be a struggle.
One good advice is to purchase a bush hog to clean the land. I observe many farmers plant the tree’s in straight rows so that you can drive through them. Please farm organically that way the runoff will not be going into the river.
Those flies will make your cows sick. They are biting the cows.
The workers are lazy sleeping and s
eating
The term is grafting
Yes darling
Wow Imagine ha nice your village green planting it's relaxing place s views❤❤❤❤
Is there a way for us to become partners or investors?
At the moment I haven't thought about it yet
Also, the weed needs to be cleared because they're competing for soil nutrients with your young Avocado plants. Farm is showing serious neglect.
Needs to be clean and apealing (even to you). 5ft x 5ft spacing of plants. Plants need to be above ground level to avoid root rot. I saw effect of fruit flies on the leaves you showed. Farm needs to be sprayed with organic pesticides. You might need to focus on one type of farming for now till you are comfortable with the yields.
Rize up mama tigress
Thank you Yezika
Wow! What a big farm . All the best sis.
So much inspirational.well done young entrepreneurial lady
It is normal for some trees to die. You just have to a good farm worker to keep replacing the ones that die, put mature and water them during the dry season.
Hello there AT the farm needs cleaning so that you can tell which is which.Too much water can also rot the roots of the tree..The soil also need feeding google up and learn more and keep winning.You also need an expert of a manager who can lead his team knowing what to do not a random manager.l can go on and on anyways good luck my girl.🙏
Let me DM you
@@AFRICANTIGRESS Sure do my girl!
Maybe to much sun for the seedlings at first... Avocados are funny...
need to fence the avocado farm, plant legumes btw the avocadoes for N. the cows will destroy the trees plant napier for them
Thanks for the update, we will support. been enjoying your videos of different countries
Clean air. It's refreshing to see landscape with grass and trees. In America every piece of land is covered with building.
Come visit us here
@@AFRICANTIGRESS That's my bucket list😊
Not exactly true. There's parts of the south that looks like the Highlands.
Good work, you need to look for an agronomist early enough. Root rots is a major issue with avocados and affects even large trees. You may also consider looking for certified seedlings to stand a better chance. Otherwise you are doing good work, thanks
Thank you Eddah... I have engaged one
I discovered that the dead once are located in a particular part of the farm this should be look into to know why is so
hEy TigRess great content, what is the title of that song (the generic song) and the artist name aswell please
Jemano by Sillaba and Maher cissoko
@@AFRICANTIGRESS Thank you Queen
Waiting
Thanks for the update but we ain’t giving up yet. First find the root cause of them drying then start from there. Then get an expert to visit your farm for the right advice. Keep going. And do you think water melons can do near the river?
What a beautiful place.I want to buy a farm here.
Why why!! Be strong dear!! 😢
Where are you？
You’re real trooper girl!
May God bless your life❤
Thank you Rafael
Nyar alego, great job, more grease to your elbow.
Don't lose hope gal,keep the faith
Nyang'oma, kogelo is my home, u could have stopped for tea and said hi to my grandma
Oh really?
@@AFRICANTIGRESS yeah sure. I would love it u did a video of the house I am building my mom there
The GREEN Tigress in ancestral Savannahs!
💯
African Tigress , I admire your spirit and strength. Stay positive sister, things will happen before you know it. Be blessed.
I learned something new. I enjoyed seeing the land again.
Very wise investments good content girl go high farming takes time but all will come together soon 😊
Thank you Judith
Well done.
You said that the particular species of avacado is for expert, why that specie?
Also what is it that could have been done from preventing the avacado tree from dying ?
Put in more prayer lady!
❤❤
Beautiful videos ❤❤❤.Learn to talk to the workers with respect
not like kids 😊😊😊… those questions!!!
Nya Alego ..Kogelo 😊 Tich matek ema kelo muandu.
Keep doing what you’re doing AT❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for Sky stay in touch, will visit soon
I have to talk to you in this one..goodwork massive opportunity.
That`s my girl. Avocadoes do so well, I know because my mum has some avocadoes which really grow on their own and "take care of themselves"but the harvest is year after year.
You`ll reap very well dear.
GOOD TIMES
👍❤️
As a person who use to plant flowers I know the feeling of putting something in the ground and watch iit mature to the point of generating beautiful blooms but sometimes this did not happen and I had to start again. I know you've invested money but dont give up keep on planting those "second chance trees." one day youre gonna look back and tell us how much they pushed to never quit and to develop resillence as a business woman. I think they have already done that based on what you said at the end of the video. In my closing I just want to reinforce what you said with this winners never quit,and quitters never win. All the best
Thank you so much for encouragement
Yr. welcome
Great investment, farming is the way forward right now
Wah that's my home place.nyang'oma market kanyo.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel like visiting this farm
Keep striving don't give up good things coming your way God Bless You ❤
You need to get somebody knowledge able to prune your avocado trees .They are too bushy .Make sure no branches below the drafting area Engage an agriculturist
Unfortunately that's the attitude with most farm workers. I sàw Akothe complain on similar issues. If you're far from your farm it' can be a challenge...
Do you have mangoe trees in Kenya? I wonder if the same weather applicable to the whole country?
So many mangoes
I'm so proud of you. Please don't stop.
Perkins giving up isnt an option
The land is beautiful, avocados hate to be waterlogged they like good drainage. Can you pull up one of the dead plants and take a look at the roots system. Sometimes insects attack the roots. I think you should also buy some more land for your cattle so that they can be free to Rome about freely grazing eating the grass while fertilising the land. You have an insect problem your beans are eaten by insects not hale stones.
Thank you Glo 🙏🏾❤ .We are engaging a professional now
The update is still positive...
List areas where help can be used ..
Like irrigation, weeding, fertilizer, and give an idea when each phase of work is needed...
If we can't help financially, we may have time or specialties to contribute...
The failure could be for a reason, so we can see the needed way we can contribute as a community...
Thanks for sharing.
Avocado leaves can turn brown due to too much sun exposure,pest infestations or inadequate watering.Caretakers will need to do their best there.
That's true Wizzie. They failed me
Ati too much sun exposure, kwani unataka azifungie kwa nyumba zisichomwe na jua?
Ukweli usemwe hio mchanga sio ya avacado, my thoughts juu imekaa sana just go for Zambia bluegum trees
@@tonywambura3525 there’s a farm in the area thriving
Congrats very huge farm, we fall and rise again . Keep pushing all shall be well gal.
My mom's first harvest is due from planting 2 years ago.She had to replace 40 trees due to the lack of rain.
Where are you planting?
@@AFRICANTIGRESS Kericho
Ask why they are dying is it a rooting issue you use hormones to help with both rooting and grafting what is the husbandry practice have a standard SOP for all employee from start to finish
Farming is not easy,but all in all the place is beautiful (the green environment)I love you my mentor
