My lens for reading — especially when it comes to “self-improvement” or recommended reading — is colored by efficiency, ROI, and long-term growth. Books are investments: in knowledge, perspective, and personal capital. So when someone curates a list of books she finds valuable, I treat that list as a curated portfolio of ideas.

There’s a particular kind of joy that comes from giving a handmade gift—something crafted with intention, usefulness, and a bit of seasonal charm. This Christmas, leaning into pretty-yet-practical gifts allows you to elevate everyday items into small luxuries.

Nutrient deficiencies are one of the most common — and most misunderstood — problems in greenhouse farming. They don’t always show up as dramatic symptoms. Sometimes it’s just a slight yellowing, a subtle curl, or a slow-down in growth. But if you catch them early, you can correct them before they affect yield. This post gives you a simple, field-tested method to diagnose deficiencies in under 60 seconds — no lab, no guesswork, just your eyes and a checklist.

Tomatoes are one of the most popular greenhouse crops in Kenya — and for good reason. They’re fast-growing, high-yielding, and in constant demand. But profitability isn’t guaranteed. Many farmers jump in without understanding the full cost structure, and end up disappointed when returns don’t match expectations. This post breaks down a real-world 90-day tomato cycle, based on Kericho conditions, and shows you exactly what it costs, what you can earn, and where the risks lie.

I share field-tested systems for agriculture, rural connectivity, automation, and compliance — built from real work in Kericho’s greenhouses, ICT operations, and business environments. If you want practical guides, checklists, blueprints, and stories that help you run better, earn more, and stay compliant, you’re in the right place.

I used to read this parable and think about hearts. Rocky hearts. Thorny hearts. Good soil hearts. Then I started gardening. Now I think about the actual soil. How I’ve planted seeds in ground I didn’t prep and watched them struggle. How weeds have choked out plants I neglected. How the good harvests came from soil I took time to nurture. Jesus used farming metaphors because his audience understood them. They lived it. They knew that good fruit doesn’t come from shortcuts. We’ve lost that connection. But when you work the land, the parables come alive. The Kingdom of God makes more sense with dirt under your nails.

Update and apology on going m.i.a after posting my 1st note. I started a stream, posted 1 note and then didn’t come back. At least that’s how it looked.
