Snails trying to figure out how to escape.
I just hope Lincoln Burrows is not in this penitentiary.
I won't want a situation where his brother, Micheal Scofield will draw all the blueprint of the pen, in other to break his brother out.
LOL

Snail farmers please come in.
I want to know the type of species my snails are. |
Agriculture › Re: The Making Of My Small Garden.(pics) by oyetpel(op): 8:17pm On Jul 04, 2017 |
I also caught some big snails in the bush close to our house.
So i rear snails too.
I constructed a small snail pen inside the garden. |

As mathematicians will say, the maize fencing(done to keep out the goats) is now a subset of the universal fencing.
Now find M interception F.

Fence erected.
U bought cement to support the bamboo sticks at the bottom, i erected all the bamboo myself.
But i called a carpenter to join the net to the bamboo.

Agriculture › Re: The Making Of My Small Garden.(pics) by oyetpel(op): 8:01pm On Jul 04, 2017 |
Chicken net bought.
And i went to chop down the bamboo sticks myself in a bush, just needed fare to transport the bamboo sticks to our house.
Chopping down the bamboo was not easy, hmm.

My next mission is to buy 'chicken' net for the perimeter fencing, and also get bamboo to support the net. |

As you can see in the 2nd picture above, there is a straight line drawn.
That's where i plan to erect a perimeter fencing to keep out the goats finally. |

pdozie: LOL - to keep goats away, all u need to do is get goat faeces (shit), mix it with water, sieve it and spray on the plants. Anything that goat faeces or urine touches, they will never taste it. they usually smell before eating so once they perceive the smell the look away. You can spray it weekly or 2 weeks.
it worked for me I know about that, but i can't do it. Can't even stand it, 'iyama' |

I later devised a plan to keep the goats out.
Check the picture below.
The maize is a week old at this stage.

Agriculture › Re: The Making Of My Small Garden.(pics) by oyetpel(op): 11:39am On Jul 04, 2017 |
Then i cleared the land after that i started making ridges.
Some old men in the started asking me what i wanted to plant on it, and i told them its maize.
Then they said that its goats that will help me finish the maize.
I was discouraged and i stopped
This was around early May. If i had planted then my maize would have been ready for harvest by now. |
Agriculture › Re: The Making Of My Small Garden.(pics) by oyetpel(op): 11:35am On Jul 04, 2017 |
So i usually spray the land with herbicides(weed killers) when whenever weeds have grown too much on the land.
So i thought why no plant on it instead of spraying it all the time to kill the weed? |

So there is this open land in front of our house.
We should have fenced it when built our house but my popman was reluctant then. And now the church in front of our house said there is a motorable road that will pass in front of our house.
I felt it's as a result of hatred and jealousy, maybe they don't want us to build another house on the land. Because the land is almost up to a plot. |

This garden started as a result of roasted corn price inflation around April this year when maize were just getting to markets in little quantities.
I really like roasted corn, so i priced a small one and the woman selling it told me that it's N80, i bargained for N50, but she didn't reply me again. That means she can't accept N50 for the corn so i left, sad i won't taste the corn.
Then i made up my mind that i will plant my own maize too since maize doesn't require much procedure, and i will roast it myself and eat it when i harvest my own maize. |

jidestroud: Nope. I didn't sundry the seeds. I planted directly but I realised both the soaked ones and the ones I planted directly sprouted about the same thing.
My conclusion, just plant directly into the nursery and there's really no need for soaking. OK thanks. I will open a thread on my garden soon, am doing a lot of work on it and i didn't want to update here again as seun suggested so that it won't clash with yours. And i need you on my thread when i started posting. |

jidestroud: Yes, that was exactly what I did to the tomato (2hrs for the tomato seeds) and soko (lagos spinach was soaked all night). Then I planted in the morning of the next day. For the fluted pumpkin, I sun-dried for 24hrs before planted though. Please, did you sun dried the tomato seeds and Lagos spinach seeds after you soaked it? |

Opukelala: Its a nightmare for me I have closed my vegetable farm in Warri where I made over 100K weekly due to none availability of farm workers The ones I had initially became wild and started becoming lazy and steals the produce when am away to work. What caused it? Could it be the amount you pay them is not enough? How did you make 100K weekly dealing in vegetable farming? |
