Date farm

After dinner at the camp in the Sahara, we visited a date farm and Oasis that was started in 1985. This guy was super happy, and seemed to really enjoy showing us all of his trees, making us guess at all the almond, pomegranate, avocado trees, and tons of other things. He has one male palm tree and he uses it to fertilize all of his female palm trees which he does by hand for each individual cluster! One male can serve up to 150 females. He climbed straight up in his sandals and bare hands to demonstrate, it was crazy. He irrigates with drip irrigation, that apparently is turned on back at his house, it was cute because he called on his cell phone to have somebody turn it on so he could demonstrate. His alfalfa was beautiful, and I think I'm going to try to grow it when I get back for our horses.Okumaya devam et
