Nkaliki, close to Ebonyi state house of assembly.

I am from igbeagu in izzi LGA , welldone bro

Who can help me farm 200-300 big tubers of yam. And what is the budget? Yam will be harvest between December 2024 - April 2025. And Must be around Enugu due to transport wahala. What is the budgets?

Bankowner:
Tell people to go into farming now, they'll tell you you want to bring them back to the stone age. Even if it is for subsistence, you can plant the following:

1. Pepper
2. Tomato
3. Okro
4. Vegetables
5. Yam
6. Corn (in season)
7. Cocoyam
8. Plantain
9. Banana
10. Pawpaw

If not for Malaria that has held me down, I would have continued planting fruits in my compound and site. I have planted guava and bananas already. Pawpaw and plantain on my mind too. I love mangoes but the size of mango trees is discouraging me from planting Mango.

Great job and good luck to you

One mad fellow jumped into my compound today to harvest my maize.

You shoot am?

Bankowner:
It was self-fulfilling harvesting these crops back in 2020. I had yams that my family ate for a long while. I harvested pepper when I needed it, same as okro and corn.

That's amazing to hear, So are you still on the farming level or you stopped?

Well done and congratulations!

When you talk of investors, what do you mean?

Thugnificent:
Thanks sir, will really appreciate support in any form as seed prices are currently off the roof

Went to the market today to buy some seed and was totally gobsmacked at the prices Will have to wait a bit till i could afford or get investors. I'm planting only yam now, as it will soon go out of season

What is the difference between water yam and white yam?
And why do you prefer white yam?

Thugnificent:
Went to the Market today to buy some Yam and other seedlings. Was only able to buy water yam as the price of white yam seedlings is off the roof and way above my budget. God help us all 🙏

When is yam planting season?

ObiaboAdoka:
Ur yam seedlings r too small to give u big tubers. Nd yam planting season is almost gone. Best of luck.

All together on one mould?

Thugnificent:
You could plant multiple seedlings at once and prevent obstructions. My own case yam, maize, potatoes, ugu, okra and cassava will all be planted on each mould

Love800:
What is the difference between water yam and white yam?
And why do you prefer white yam?

Water yam is softer and lighter than white yam and has lesser starch. Also, white yam is more in demand and sweeter and more preferable for poundo and also more expensive. Apart from this, no much noticeable difference.

You can plant all these in sacks?

I mean people that can invest in the business and we share the profits or a soft loan with reasonable time frame for repayment etc

Love800:

Yes exactly. No problem with that or what do you think the mould is for and the expended energy used in making them?

Hello. Pls i want to ask a question. Can one buy a full tuber of yam and cut into pieces to plant?

ObiaboAdoka:
Ok. But d bigger d seedling more yield u will harvest

You planted these in sacks?

Bankowner:
I know how productive it is because I did it during the pandemic. I harvested yam, corn, pepper, vegetable, and okro that lasted my family for days. I didn't have to bother about those items when it came to grocery shopping. And the vegetable, pepper, and okro were farm fresh too.

aalangel:
Well done and congratulations!

Thanks alot for the support

Thugnificent:
Because of the hunger situation in the country, i want to go into farming fully because i don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.

I want to start with Yam, potatoes and Rice farming in my village here In Ebonyi state. With Time I expand to more food crops.

Will record all my journey on this thread. God bless us all.

This is not actually true.

The heap or how loamyis the soil (and rich in the right nutrients, of course) goes along way to determine the size of your harvest.
Experiment had been carried out, let me check if I can share some resources on this
