[TUNER POPO]

so what u fellas use to keep your beds weed free?

tried a few but failed.

[hustla_ambition101]

If you have money to burn you can buy the black plastic and use that

[TUNER POPO]

really?? hate those weeds

[Chimera]

There's also weed mat. Allows water through

[TUNER POPO]

@ABA what did you use for your peppers????

[Chimera]

Using things like weedmat wont make sense for short term crops. I use to use basta and pilarsato between the pepper to keep down grass. Use to hire ppl to physically remove the grass as well. By hand

[hustla_ambition101]

One of the key things with weeds is use a good pre-emergent and as soon as they start popping up pull them

[shake d livin wake d dead]

if u have time,take u time and hand weed...srs

[Chimera]

i have 13,000 square feet of weed mat that i got about 2 weeks ago for some landscaping though
suppose to keep down weeds for 5-7 years


on another note

anyone going to macoya or town market, you must have your farmers badge with you or receipts showing who you bought the goods from

theres a unit that investigating stolen crops and they seizing your goods if you dont have a farmer badge or cant prove you buy them from someone

padna of mine get stop last night, they made him park his vehicle full of goods in vmcott compounds and escort him home to get his farmers badge because he left it in another van

[shake d livin wake d dead]

look how things change,when I sold there that was never a requirement.but good move doh...not a bad at all

[Chimera]

this is new though
only start this year

[hustla_ambition101]

Plenty farmers don't have badges due to red tape though, sorry for them. PLU going to have a field day stealing crops from non card carrying farmers.

daz what i wondering

because all the middlemen wont have farmers badges

all the people who just plant 2 or 3 beds and bring produce to the market in their cars won't have badges etc

pressure for them yes

[pioneer]

You hadda have link in de ministry for farmer badge

[shake d livin wake d dead]

numerous benefits to be gained if you have le farmers badge

[GRIM]

You hadda have link in de ministry for farmer badge

No just need to own at least 1 acre of land that is being cultivated with proof of purchasing seedlings, irrigation equipment etc...

[hustla_ambition101]

GRIM, it not that easy trust me, you have to prove ownership of land or else you get the lesser card which doesn't provide all benefits. Extension office takes long to process applications too

[GRIM]

well oh gosh by "own at least 1 acre of land" yuh name must be on the deed

[Chimera]

You can also get the badge if you are renting the land. Just need a letter from the owner of the land verifying such

[jramsarran]

the requirement is actually 1 lot for vegetable production... (not 1 acre fellas)

the difference between the green and buff coloured cards is basically you need proof of ownership to acquire the green card and you can access the gov. incentives.

the buff card... is for those who cannot show proof of ownership... and you cannot claim incentives.....unless your land documents are recognized as being processed in which case the state land dept. would attach what is called the "appendix C" form.

both the green and buff cards can be used in the instances mentioned in prior posts re: market purposes.

as for the middle men... they may be able to acquire a "vendors card"...which they can use together with receipts for the goods purchased from farmers.

yes....
this also
but not jus a letter....it must be an affidavits from a JP. you also need a copy of the person's deed and land tax receipts

[*$kїđž!™]
