These are good investments people can lay hands on instead of buying extra 10 cars that they don't need. Everything you see here both the cost of the land and plantation is not up to price of one flashy car that some people wasted money on when they have already have more than 3 private cars in their garage. It doesn't cost much to establish farm, but it feeds you forever if properly managed. If you are living abroad think about establishing something like this here in your community especially those who came from these areas that have excess land for farming. Only $3,00 Dollars more or less may set up a farm like this and it will be yours for life while you remain in overseas.

Hello Thank you so much for educating us. I am from Sierra Leone and I want to engage in this kind of farming but I don’t know how to go about it. What is the best compatible soil for plantain plantation. I know you understand best what I mean

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Get a well drained soil. Soil that doesn’t log water in them.

[@Eyramax]

What is the planting distance between each plant? Nice farm - Keep it up!

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

@@Eyramax 2m by 2m

[@Eyramax]

@@ChidavAgriculturalHub Good but Try 3m X 3m next time to give more space. And in between you can plant cocoyam. And you can make some money too from that- both the leaves and the cocoyam itself.

[@izz6190]

Hey I got a question for you. Do you apply mulch or straw to any of your crops? That would help retain moisture in the soil. I hear Nigeria has dry season. During that season irrigation might be a problem cause the soil will dry out quicker.

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

If you have enough mulch, you can mulch your field. And if you have irrigation, you can irrigate your field, however, if your timing to setup is right and the crops get established before the drought season, they will survive the drought season and bounce back again during the rainy season.

Apply some fertilizer not compost or manure. NPK 15 15 15 would be fine. Also, prune the lower yellowing leaves and allow for the younger and fresher leaves
