Vegetable Farming in Zambia: Dealing With Sun Scald in Green Pepper
“Sun scald” on bell peppers refers to a condition where the pepper fruit develops bleached, white or yellow, blistered areas on the side facing the sun, usually caused by prolonged exposure to intense sunlight during hot weather, often happening when the plant has sparse foliage and can’t adequately shade the fruit; essentially, it’s like a…

Like your in-put Chisha. Following and doing the same from Chishimba, NP
Thank you Sir👏🏽. I am impatiently waiting for the next video 😅.
Good stuff.
For how long did you have the crop in the field ?
Why don't you farm potatoes or Tomato?
Am inspired by your work, Do you guys plant and harvest throughout the year? or do you grow only to harvest on high demand season!?
stay with us😍
God bless what you do
Another great video, thank you from France.
For mulching, I think wood chips are better than straw. The lifespan of straw is 6 months maximum, whereas that of wood shavings can exceed 2 years… What's more, wood shavings are much richer in carbon than straw: you need 1 meter of straw to have the carbon content of 5cm of wood shavings… This carbon will enrich your soil, which will gradually turn black. This wood will nourish all the life in the soil – it's the earth's favorite food … This wood will develop soil fungi that will help your crops grow better … And, to get lots of wood shavings, you need a powerful shredder …
Thank you for the masterclass. We live in a brilliant new world where this education is freely available and you are sharing your genuine journey. So much learning and great to see your operations growing over time.
Bondwe is a weed? 😭 It's my favourite vegetable from Zambia 😅
Incredible video as usual.
A minor observation: Might want to invest in a gimbal/stabilizer. Can be a bit nauseating to watch when the video shaking for extended periods of time.
How do you combat wilting i see a few plants had been attacked by that disease though youve have managed to contain it .
I garden in Florida. I love your channel. What zone are you in? I’m in zone 9B. I have some of the same issues you do, and I like to learn how you over came your hell…lol😂 Florida is nothing bout sand. I envy your clay mix. I mulch deep. And cover with hay, because straw is rediculous expensive.
Thank you for all the work you do bringing us into farming world, keep up the good work sir!
How big is the area which you grew the pepper
Sir you are my inspiration I hope to emulate what you have achieved ❤
i hope buyers don't mind the vegetables are bruised, based on the way they are loaded!
