I used 1.5l water bottles around which I glued a yellow nopi band, filled 40gr DAP (DiAmmonium phosphate) and a 2,500 2l water into the bottle. Around the neck of the bottle I wrapped a 0.8mm thick galvanized wire and the bottles approx. Suspended shady 2m above the ground.
Buying the olive grove
At the beginning of December 2016, we were able to sign the purchase agreement. The business was well prepared and was handled quickly! Many thanks to Zio Luciano for the good preparation.
