The items are from alibaba.com The prices were quoted by goodsexpress.com They are both available here in Nigeria & I strongly advise you to buy within the country. It turned out the prices were machine generated and they afterwards told me they do not buy from alibaba.com Silvereze: |

There's a thick layer of previously dried weeds underneath the new bushy growth. It poses unsurmountable cutting problems for the brush cutter. Ganyak: |

The back-to-back rains had been quite an impediment to burning the bush. So, I was on my way to burn the bush in the farm on Saturday, only to be stopped by security officials on the way: LG elections were going on and there's restriction of movement. Yesterday Sunday, I geared up. On my way out of the house, the car's gear system collapsed. It's Sunday; no mechanic to help out. Looks like some Egba principalities are on this matter. Holy Ghost faya! Today, this morning, I'll fix the car and zoom right there to start the burning. Hope rain will not fall before I'm done. Wish me luck |

Things didn't work as planned. Only very few of the weeds were killed and so, the burning was virtually impossible I'm also out of funds so, I might just defer it till I have more funds. Hopefully by the end of this month |

I would like to correct an impression, please I tried using the brush cutter again and it worked like magic! I think the problem I had about the cutting initially was with the technique rather than with the machine. I can say for sure now that with the machine, one can do what a machete would do- and even more! jackomagnus: Ganyak: |

unfortunately, due to paucity of funds at this time, the project has had to be at a standstill. |

jackomagnus: How long did you lease this farmland? And do you still intend to plant maize again. Seems the year is almost gone. I would have suggested you start small like say 2 plots and perfect everything before going big as much as a hectare cos you have so many stuffs draining your finances. I like your zeal tho. 3 Likes |
Re: Jacko's DIARY- My Cross Over To Farming by jackomagnus(m): 7:07pm On Jul 14, 2018 |
thanks for your kind input. I leased it for one year. As it stands now, unless I get more funds, it's unlikely that I will be able to plant this year again. the leased land is located quite far (19km) from my home. So I don't feel it is worth it doing anything less than a hectare. (if you get my point) excanny: |
