Apply Manure/Fertilizer. The nutrients in the land matters. It is best if your yam covers two rain seasons for full development. When you plant your crop matters. Try planting around March/April next year


A simple soil test before planting can tell you the state of any soil

I just realized you mentioned planting inside a.small bucket. Ofcourse, the environment you planted the yam would limit its growth na

The bucket is about the same size as a cement bag and people plant yams in cement bags all the time.

Not at all. This is the best size of seed yam to plant. Your next harvest would be massive. Don't allow anybody tempt you to sell them ohhhhh. Just find a way to preserve them for next year

He can plant the seed yams he got now! In six months he would harvest giant yams.


This was in response to your question on if I was advising him to plant now.
Actually, farmers are already making heaps and planting already

There are different species of yam, some are very rugged and reliable if the condition is okay while some are very fragile and can disappoint easily.
Re: Check Out My Yam Harvest by Love800(m): 6:57am On Dec 18, 2024
I was asking if he can plant that yam he just harvested. That was my question.
You said he should replant the harvested yam. So i was asking if its true?
