AGRICULTURE
Q: Can you tell us about high value crops for resale to the local high-end hotel industry?
A: We have a rainy season and during that period many crops cannot be traditionally grown. The seasonal short supply to the local high-end hotel industry offers a great opportunity for off-season raising of the crops. A greenhouse approach seems to be the best solution. Please send us an e-mail with your suggestions.
Q: Do you have a customer service or salesperson that can contact me?
A: Sure we do, just send an e-mail with your area of interest. We will start an e-mail dialogue that can progress to a telephone conversation later.
Q: Can you tell us more about raising crops under drip irrigation and misting?
A: Please e-mail suggestions about how we can make the drip irrigation and misting become the most efficient method of irrigating.
AQUACULTURE
Q: How to raise Tilapia, so they grow to maximum size?
A: Please send us an e-mail to help us with this if you know the answer. Our fish only seem to grow about 1/3 the size we know they should be attaining.
Q: Can you tell us more about raising algae to feed the Tilapia.
A: Please send us an e-mail to clue us in on how to grow more and more algae. We have water, shade and sunlight. We do grow algae but want to grow more.
Q: How can I be a regular contributor and for what amount?
A: Please visit our Plant-A-Tree Store and make a selection.

COMMERCE
Q: How can I share my experiences and how you can benefit from my knowledge?
