Calculation of damliners 👇🏻 Calculating total size of damliner required for your water pan

Length + 2(Depth)+ 2 (allowance for tucking in the edges on both sides)
Width + 2(Depth) + 2 (Overlap)

Summary:
Length=L+2H+2
Width= W+2H+2

DARK SIDE OF FARMING:

As much as we encourage young people into farming, come armed with knowledge, it is not MMM, Ultimate cycler, a get rich quick scheme.

Thread.. Farming is a good venture and can multiply your investments a thousand fold. However, it can also go bad, real quick.

Social media is full of stories of success in farming. Others are not farmers but will pose on farms to chase clout. Lol Farming is not rosy.
