I want use to discuss the basics things that needed to be done before venturing into dry season farming.

1. MARKET.
As much as we all know that the demand for vegetables escalate during dry season simply because rain fed farmers will have to withdraw from production. You also have to do your marker research to know the types of vegetables that are or will be in high demand in your area.

2a. For existing farmers you will need a good and stable source of water that will be suitable for the type of irrigation system you mither want to adopt.

2b. For a new farmer you will need a fertile land but don't forget to put into consideration what is been discussed in (2a) and you have to get it fast because you have to plant your vegetable on or before March.

3. Land clearing must be done.
4. Land preparation is also crucial.

Vegetables Seedbed Making.

In respective of the type of vegetables you want to plant you need to prepare the seedbed.
You start by clearing the weeds from the land and making sure there are no plant debris on the field.

By using a planting rope measure 10 foot width by 40 foot long and mark out the line. After marking out the land,hoe or create 1/2 foot depth of trench along the marked line to create your seedbed.

Broadcast a well decomposed manure onto the bed and hoe it into the soil uniformly. Level the surface of the bed by using rake or a hand tiller to make it suitable for planting or transplanting.

My seedbed is ready for cultivation or preparing seedlings.
