I'll contact Mr. Caplinger today. Best regards Mat.

It's the largest one in the Virgin Islands (by far). To give you an idea of just how large it is; the longest terrace is 800 ft.and the shortest is 550 ft. we have six of them plus another half acre for growing herbs for sale at the grocery stores. Notice how we designed the drip irrigation to each plant. This is as efficient as you can get. From the time we plant until the plants are ready for sale has been cut to about three months (quicker than Florida nurseries). This is the idea I had in mind for Pops garden (smaller scale of course). Should you ever have any questions or need any materials Please let me know. I would really like to continue working with you. Best regards Mat.
