What are the benefits of ridges over non-ridge form of planting.

wanted to ask same

willybaby:
Hello everyone, so before I give a break down of today's farming activities, I think I should drop more information about the land.. The proposed cassava capacity to be farmed locally here is called ULA anf we farming 20 ULA... An ULA is basically 400 heaps so that means the farm land will contain a total of 8,000 heaps and we plan to plant 2 cassava stem per heap... So I think that should give u guys a basic idea of land size... It's almost an hectare.......

why 2 stems per heap?

willybaby:
In planting cassava stems there's a rule to be followed, you need to observe the stem to see how it grows before it's deeped into the heap the growing up part should face up it not when germinating starts your cassava would grow upside down

we bury the stems

willybaby:
Goodmorning everyone hope you all well and fine, yesterday I visited the second farm and am happy to say the chemical sprayed has really done its job... Pictures attached..

na chemical burn these weeds so? Abi them clear am

with ridges or heap it's a little bit easier to harvest, and also application of fertilizer is easier too.. this are the advantages I can think of but ridges, heap or flat soil the yield is believed not to be affected

didn't see this yea the maize ain't naturally blue and it wasn't actually painted the blue color comes from the chemical used in improving and preserving it.. it can't be eaten by termites

Na wetin you like be that, a lot of farmers plant 2 stems per planting point and the yields are still acceptable

willybaby:
what's brushing

thanks and good morning. I now know what brushing of grasses mean.. but I feel the right word is raking and yes the dead grasses are raked and burnt or just disposed off

good morning everyone hope you all good, we visited farm20 today to see how tinz are and I must say it's beautiful for example the heaps was more nicely done and spaced, the corn is been planted by women and traditionally here it means the land is blessed lol....

more clearing been done. farm20 is 1.6heactres

more pictures

due to the large number of labour available at the location of the farm, clearing, heaping and planting is been done simultaneously meaning freshly cut cassava stem is planted increasing chances of growth and high yield..

my love for felines has no bound... i was gifted this beauty by a happy villager..
A willing companion to take to the farm when ever

Over here, association with felines could be looked at from a witchcraft dimension (na nollywood cause am o)... innocent animals don suffer for our hands sha

Bollywood, Nollywood and religion all doing injustice to an animal created by God almighty.. cats are loyal, sensitive, smart and extremely clean in and out...

OP great threads. I am in Anambra. Do you have any tips for finding and hiring farm labour including farm manager. How much are farm managers paid?

I hope you have something in place to checkmate the menace of the omnipresent Fulani's and their cows.

good morning my only tip is fraternize with the villagers/local well, because they are the once who would tell you how tinz are done in there area, pay them instantly after they work for you also.
in the area of paying your manager I think that's between you and him or her..

Common sense advice, but the problem is knowing which villagers to trust.
Do mind explaining exactly how you hired your labour and how much or how you pay your farm manager?

Pictures of workers completing the heaps

Please how much do you pay those that help you with the heaps

Thanks
