Hello! You can save some of the cost incurred in buying some farm produce just by gardening. And, yes, you can embark on gardening without limits even if there appears to be limitations.

There are various gardening methods/approaches especially when there is no direct soil (that is bare, natural) ground available. So, we employed a few of them in our paved compound.

Manure source: organic matter (natural items that can decompose) such as left-over food, fruit and tuber peels, animal dung, extracts (waste) from fish/meat being prepared for cooking, etc. Nothing is actually allowed to waste. This way, we don't necessarily have to buy vegetables, okro, ewedu (the leaf used to prepare the Yoruba signature soup) all the time. Also, for some fast stew of little proportion or just something to quickly spice up some food we can simply dash into the garden to harvest pepper.

PS. Our landlord recently visited from the UK and he was so thrilled that he decided to go and do something similar upon his return there.

My wife is actually passionate about this kinds of gardening, I wish I have more pictures.

Meanwhile here is my 1 year 10 months old daughter helping out with watering the garden

Wifey grows different assorted vegetables like Okra, spinach, owedu/karkashi(in hausa), Sorrel Leaves (Yakuwa in hausa), sometimes yam and others. she does this in Delta

DEEBOZZ:
Gunmen never find this one maybe.
Majority of people u see in the city would love to live in an isolated area but due to insecurity many opted to stay in a noising area.

Gunmen will find you first. Who told you am choosing Nigeria?

I like what i see. If you have enough land, you can have some kind of flexible farm, and if you are very good, you may even have so much that you can start selling. My only concern, is water source.

Hmmmn

Mofun:
Our neighbours also planted similar things even including yam, cucumber, water melon, etc. I will post pictures of theirs later.

I'm currently building a small fish farm that will stay in my balcony and water from it will be used to water the crops I will plant.

I'd make a post and upload pictures of it once I'm done.

more strength to you.

Lilsameey:
One day, I'll be planting stuffs I'll be eating. When am super rich, I plan to stay more natural. I'll leave the city, Probably purchase a little island somewhere, Have live stocks and food plants. Aesthetic asf. I just want to stay away from noise, troubles. Probably I'll be making aesthetic music.

You are dreaming my dream

Looking at the spate of insecurty in Nigeria forests, this inventions will help reduce increase in cost,hunger & scarcity of food crops if fully annexed...that has been postulated by agroeconomists.

I would love to start something like this, can you tell me the easiest crop to plant and harvest, since I have little knowledge

I have spaaaaaaace, you get what I mean but you see those goats ehn, cos fence is a dwarf one and no gate.
As I don't have a paid job, I could go commercial
Imagine goats that will come by midnight to feast on your plants.

Good one OP,
This is exactly what I advocate to people. Plant waterleaf, Ugwu, bitterleaf, efirin... Highly medicinal herbs.

this is something all Nigerians need to learn as soon as possible considering the fact that food shortage is just around the corner with Fulani herdsmen shenanigans and the war in Ukraine which will directly impact food and fertiliser imports

Vlibray:
OP don turn him landlord house to farm .
wetin be my own sef, landlord no complain

Lol! When landlord sef like am...

Funny enough, when my neighbour's wife saw him and got to know he's the landlord (since he is based abroad that was their first time of seeing him) she thought he'd complain. Surprisingly, he was rather challenged to go and do the same in the UK.

Wow! Great! Incidentally, my wife also started the move actually. She started with learning (from Youtube videos) and making the compost manure. Like play, like joke she started planting and I later joined in too.

You're right!

Abi o. He just likes a neat and organized compound.

Maggots? Plants don't breed them.

Not necessarily. The cement doesn't affect the soil since it's just the residue that is even almost invisible remaining on the bags. It's not a situation of mixing cement with sand for planting. Once cement doesn't remain actively in the bag just fill the bag with good soil and manure. Then plant your crops (seeds or seedlings).

Breed maggots ke no ..o. I mean the organic fish waste and others could breed maggots. I had to deal with one plant I planted at my balcony the other day. Houseflies started breeding

Okay, you need to put a layer of sand on every layer of the compost manure and also cover the container being used to generate it.

Chairwoman:

Buy vegetable seeds. Mix with some soil and just spread them on the soil. Otherwise, don't throw away the stalk/stem of the vegetables you buy to eat. Just insert each stem into the soil in the right direction. Keep watering except there is sufficient rain. Gbam!
