Bayelsa, it's a 6 plot of land, no need for irrigation due to d topography of the area.

Bro, any NPK fixing crop will do... don't even think of cassava because it absorbs lot of Nitrogen leaving nothing for your plantain....kenfarm bit.. more info in our e-book

Ok boss, that's an acre... How many sucker did you plant?

Nitrogen fixers (as said above) are crops like beans their seed is split

Planted 266 suckers, though I left out some part cos it's water logged.

That's too small.. 6 plots which is an acre should contain a thousand suckers conveniently.

I guess the spacing is much... Anyway, I left a big portion for other purposes, let's say I planted on 4 plots
