I planted them this morning after preparing the tyres yesterday as I had no cement bag,I will be updating it as it grows. I pray it will grow from little to so much as I have no power of my own. Am trusting my first Agric venture in the hands of God.

God bless your hustle dear, where do you get the seed you planted, i wanna plant mine by d end of this month on half acre, i need to buy a bucket paint seed.

Wet and mulch by putting leaves on those tire. The sun might dry out the soil before the seeds get enough moisture to activate growth, thereby taking Ionger time for it to sprout. It takes ten days for ugu to sprout though.. Just be a bit patient.

Tnx,the corns have sprouted so happy while waiting for my ugu

Must you plant ugu in a refuse dump

OPs....
Please can u educate me on this; What is the function of the tyre and how many seeds per tyre??

pls i dont understand the tyre planting mechanism just like the poster above me opined.

Please tutor us. i have never seen that style before.

@Faber and solution,the land is typical of lagos land(waterlogged) and pple start filling when they want to build,so this one neighbours have started using it for mini dustbin which makes it useless for planting,now I devised a means of warning as verbal warning proved abortive. I got the tyres filled them with loamy soil and little water in the evening then planted the seeds in the morning next day,each tyre has 6seeds planted 2at a spot in a triangular form so far 4 germinated on each tyre,meanwhile am using grass as my manure no fertilizer.

The joy of harvesting from your garden is overwhelming as l can very much relate to it. Though born and raised in Lagos we rarely bought Ugu, bitterleaf and Oha because we had them grown in our compound. We even sold Oha regularly to igbo women that sold soup condiments.

Now you talk about corn, l am missing the local pear!

3rd harvest,going down with jollof rice

GenyEbere, thanks for these updates. What is the status of your garden at the moment? Do you still grow Ugu?

Some Igbo women selling soup ingredient do sell the seeds.

If you approach them, they can help you get the whole.

That's what it looks like.

OP, you improvised well!

Oga Seun thanks for this reminder. My tenants practically made the place a refuse dumping place(after several warning) will still go back to it if I get a good portion,currently filling the place with sand and growing my poultry on the other hand
