Farm Design
And Construction
At Aragmfam Farms we pride ourselves in helping small scale farmers or large scale farmers who are venturing into snail farming get off to a good start. We provide farm design and construction services from start to finish.
When you understand the considerations before venturing into snail farming, it is time to build your snail farm. It is after constructing the snail pen that you can get your snails.
Before you start building the snail farm, examine the snails to know that they are healthy, mature, and capable of producing many eggs before purchasing them.
Also, ensure you get enough snails for the size of your farm. Large-sized snails will take one square meter each, while smaller snails can take six snails per square meter.
List of items needed to build a snail farm:
⦁ Fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens – Plant all things green on your snail farm for the snails to feed on.
⦁ Shovel – Dig a trench to station your wooden fence.
⦁ Sandy-loamy soil – choose sandy-loamy soil as it contains all the nutrients your snails need. Also, pick the weeds on the farm because they can affect the growth of the veggies you plant.
⦁ Staple gun – Pin the fencing material (wire mesh or net) around the wooden posts.
⦁ Wooden posts – Place the foot of your wooden posts inside the trench you dug.
⦁ Fencing material – Wrap some net or wire mesh around your wooden posts and staple them so your snails don’t escape.
