The Manger Vegetable Tunnel Project

 

The Manger Care Centre has seven organic vegetable tunnels where we produce our own spinach. Each tunnel contains approximately 1400 spinach plants. We are also developing a whole new series of tunnels along with a packing shed and a germination table.

How this works:

·  Various organizations supply the spinach seedlings to us  We then feed and nourish the seedling to fully grown plants. Once the spinach is ready to be harvested, we cut the leaves as close to the stem as possible. We then take the spinach leaves and wash them to make sure the product is up to standard. The spinach is then packaged and rechecked to see if everything is fine. We distribute the product which is then sold on our behalf.

This project is in need of the following assistance:

·   We would appreciate any financial assistance or donations regarding the building of  additional tunnels.
·   We need to install an in line drip irrigation system.
·   Donations of seedlings and other materials for this project.

Interested parties may contact Mr. Zen Teitge for further information regarding this particular project.

Please feel free to enquire for any further information regarding our Centers
