Thanks very much.....I was also thinking of Yam cos it's relatively expensive, what's your opinion on Yam and it's season for planting and yield

I don't know much about Yam cultivation. if you plant yams, you will need to put bamboo stakes for the vines of the yam plants to climb on, which can be costly. Cassava does not need stakes or sticks for support. Or you can cultivate vegetables on the three plots from now till January if there is a well or borehole nearby. Then clear and manure the land with chicken poo by February . By March 2025, plant Maize and Cassava of 6 me months together. Cheers.

Since inflation and economy is biting really hard, and food crops is now gold, I'm reconsidering the idea of farming even though I have never farmed before.
Recently after thinking hard on various options and lack of enough funding, i realize I can start my plans for farming using a 3 plots of land lying fallow and close to the town, belongin to a close relative of mine.
.
So the next question is what's the best crop to farm between now and November on a 3 plots in Southwest, considering the season, yield and one year maximum harvest time.
.
I will appreciate answer.

Plant Cassava ( six months variety ) latest by October and plant Maize by May/June next year. So you will have two crops to harvest. The cassava can be made into garri or fufu and the maize can be sold off to people who roast for sale or for other purposes. Cheers.

We need to get a good fereign coach. Period.

Soyabeans is expensive now. Hopefully, it will reduce in price before the year runs out.

It is all a conspiracy. African nations are meant to send their best brains and workers to Europe and other developed nations to work there. The advanced nations don't want us to have good leaders.

Since that time? It hasn't finished?

No. Remains like 25kg of it. We use it at home for pap.

It is the Millet I am interested in.

This is a great initiative. God bless you, Earth storms. I will get in touch with you. Cheers.

This Turji man should be hunted down and shot. What are our security forces doing? We need the Israeli Defence Force ( IDF ) mentality in Nigeria.

Did they crucify him there, or why is he so ugly, full of hate and inferiority complexes?

No. He went to the USA after his secondary school education at Ijebu Ode Grammar School, Ijebu Ode. I guess he grew into his current dispositions there. He was calm back in the days in high school.

My wife has a Masters degree in English Literature but she has never used it. She bakes Cakes and makes Small Chops for a living. And she makes good money from her catering business. I have a B.A Degree in History but I am a polymath. I have a lot of interest in Agriculture and Food Processing. I also write very well and can do different things easily. I don't believe in paper qualifications. Knowledge can be gotten via the Internet and YouTube videos these days. Masters Degree? Nah, for Me. Cheers.

Cool, Maryam. I am still enjoying the Guinea Corn ( Yellow ) you bought for me in 2022. A 100 kg bag. Thanks.

Let the prices keep dropping. Cheers.

There is serious segregation in the developed nations of Europe and North America ( USA and Canada ). These Indians and Africans have few white friends outside their communities. Each ethnic group sticks to it's own . They only interact at work . They don't mix socially. Why not stay in Africa or Nigeria and try to achieve something? Cheers.

Nice one. Cheers.

The rabbit urine and chicken poop did better than the rest. Rabbit poop is good for manure too. Cheers.

I intend to farm in my compound and I need guidance from experienced people on here. Available space is half plot of land. I intend planting yam, water melon and some vegetables. I have embarked on this before and failed due to disturbance of bush rats eating my crops, insects invasion and worms destroying my maize plantations. Pls I need recommendations on the types of low cost fertilizers I would need for small scale farming, types of pesticides/insecticides to buy and how to get manure to boost crop production, and how to farm successfully with guaranteed reasonable harvest. Kindly guide me through. Thank you.

Get Rabbit poo. Rabbit faeces. They are good for plants as organic manure. Cheers.

It is a good thing to stay back in your country or return to your country after studies. Try and find out the secret to success in your land. Read books, watch documentaries, learn ideas from Nairaland and grow. So many opportunities in Nigeria and Africa. Cheers.

Don't pray to ever fall into the hands of the UK Justice system or the British Police or immigration department ( Home Office ). You will hate yourself. Cheers.

Mr Emmanuel.

It is a bush rat . This is not a rabbit.

We don't know how to use time to succeed in Nigeria. Copycats everywhere in Nigeria. Once you reveal a solid business that is working, Nigerians will destroy that business for you by turning it into an all comers affair. Better to keep my mouth shut.

Only if Nigerians can stop hating themselves, then we can work together to change the destiny of this nation. Look, there are some businesses you can venture into in Nigeria that will turn you into a multimillionaire or even a billionaire. So many ideas but hatred and envy is the number one enemy in Nigeria. People are so hateful and envious of any small progress you make. Planlessness everywhere in Nigeria. If you can be patient and engage in these ventures I am talking about, you will make it.

Good Afternoon. I am still available to teach in your school. Thanks.

Aatami:
thank for ur advice.
according to ur experience,are you saying that organic farming is more effective than inorganic farming,that i should not buy superagro and npk fertiliser.

Yes, organic farming is the best. Pig waste, rabbit waste, goat waste, poultry waste are good to use as manure. Don't plant mediately you spread the animal dung on the land. Wait for a month before planting your crops. Let the nutrients sink into the soil first. Thanks.

Pls be wary of this person with the above number...he is a scammer..he contracted me to write a book for him. I wrote the book and submitted, he told me his client accepted the book and that I should include table of contents and all that..I did, he said he was going to pay me half. I had to contact him after 24 hours telling him to pay like he promised...he paid me 10,000 naira..since on Wednesday, he has not been picking up my call and replying my messages. If I use another number to call, he will pick and be mute to know who's calling him..he finally blocked me this morning without giving me my balance of 14,000 naira..

Create e-books and sell them by your self on Amazon, smashwords, Lulu etc. Market your own books to the world by yourself. Cheers.
