Neighbor Bio - Majid

We received a great compliment when our neighbor to the west, Majid, came in to evaluate how our preplanting process worked.  He had noticed that our first two crops, eggplant and corn, had shot up more quickly than his own and was interested to find out how.  Our process involved spreading chicken manure along our drip irrigation lines first and then having the rows mixed and hoed thoroughly before planting.  This allowed for our seeds and seedlings to be planted into a nutrient rich environment that their roots could easily sink into.  Having seen the difference that the extra preparation made he left the farm repeating the phrase "illa al takhleat!" - "mixing is the only way to go!"

This was a real compliment for us as newcomers since Majid has been growing open-field crops like zucchini, eggplant, tomato and corn in the Jordan Valley for all of his adult life.
