This is just a little effort by me to food sustainance. Enjoy & critique where necessary.. Thanks
First pic & 2nd are the seedlings which were nurtured for 6 months
3 & 4th is the land area. More updates coming.
Actual location is Jos, plateau state Nigeria.

HeGeMon:
More... That soil is already been mixed with manure &fertilizer, next are 2 standby 2" irrigation water pumps..

dgitrader:

Tnx a lot, actually my source of water is a borehole because the area is rocky so the borehole is more sustainable to a well, for the seedlings, this is the most tricky & most important part because I researched for their varieties, for abt 8months between the rainy season& dry season, to learn abt the difffrnt varieties, which I nurtured for 6months , bros it mainly technical know-how. As for incentive, its all man for himself, but there is a place called ASTC which will be of great help in case of technical support.

more grease to your elbows.
I have few questions for you.
what is your source of water?
and how did you acquire your potatoes sidlings?
most farmers in jos are doing dry season vegetables now, what's the incentive for potato now?

I must commend your efforts in feeding the Nation. Your productivity can be increased greatly by buying a rain gun sprinkler. All the items you have already ( pump and hose) will still give you low productivity because a lot is efforts will be needed to make the water go round.

With a rain gun attached to the other end of your water pump, You can wet 32m diameter in circular form. After this you proceed with other areas.

Contact me privately and I will give you a rain gun at a discounted price and you can come and report back to the house of your fabulous experience with the rain gun.

This I want replicated in all farms.

nice concept saliu, but how cost effective is a raingun,in comparison with dripi irrigation.?
also with a 32m diameter, how many will effectively cover an acre of Leafy vegetables?

saliubello:
Thank you for your attention. Pardon my excesses too on your thread. I'm a farmer with a difference. I practice whatever I preach ONLY. Giving you lofty statistics/data isn't my aim but giving you something VALID, Workable and that solves your immediate irrigation need.

It is way cheaper than drip irrigation because the price for drip irrigation set up for one acre of farmland will buy you rainguns and other accessories that will enable you irrigate 4-5 acres. Those accessories I refer here will include about 300metres of high pressure hose like that which you have and a water pump of higher Horse power to match and deliver even more volumes of water than the required amount of RAIN WATER needed by your plant.

For starters like you, you will be saved of troubles of financing permanent irrigation structures that will amount to waste as your needs begin to increase due to FARM EXPANSIONS IN FUTURE.

This one is apt, mobile, detachable and flexible. This is because A single unit can be deployed for use in multiple farm location.

Your high pressure hose will not be prone to damage by rodents, or subjected to wear and tear due to exposure to hot sun.

Im working very hard on breaking the logistics challenges that makes my landing cost high. This rain gun is what you need as a meaningful and COST SAVING STRATEGY to irrigate your farm

08050323434 is number. I have increased my dry season acreage from 2 to 6 as a result of the effectiveness of the raingun.

amanda2013:
how much?
