Hello Nairalanders. I've always fancied the idea of gardening, but laziness and lack of space in rented apartments have hindered me.

Recently, I've been considering sack or bucket farming and found through Google search that it's a possibility. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a guide that helps with implementation.

I'm appealing to experienced Nairalanders to kindly share a "Do It Yourself" sack farming guide to help educate Nigerians about the possibility of food production.

My interest lies only in subsistence farming for crops like tomatoes, peppers, ugwu, and bitter leaf. Helpful video links or related articles would also be appreciated.🙏

Thank you.

I don't understand what you meant by DIY.
.
Is it that you don't know how to pack sand inside sack or what exactly do you find difficult to do there.
.
I also practice sack farming. My yams, potatoes, pepper are planted in sacks.

Nice pictures. Sorry, I said DIY because I saw online that holes should be made in the sack before filling with soil.

Another website even said a holes should be made in the sack to help for water drain. These has left me confused.

Of courses you have to make hole at the bottom of the sacks, to enable water drain out. Otherwise, it will cause root rot for the plants.

Sack farming is not water consuming and easy weed mamagement

Alright thanks. Holes in bottom and not the sides, right?
