As an farmer I want to pen down my agricultural adventure.
I hope to learn along the way.
May I succeed and may the readers be blessed!

Observations, corrections and criticisms are welcome.

Working materials for Okra farm

I chose to start with Okra because of it's lower risk and lesser stress in management (I need extra oxygen for cucumber or tomatoes staking and ish )
Secondly Okra has very good market potential in my area Umuahia.
Looking forward to Aba and Owerri in future as I grow

Saw an advert on Facebook from an Okra farm in Akwa Ibom.
They used the Okra HIRE from Technisem so I got 100gms container waybilled from Akwa Ibom.
The okra is said to have heavy productivity and would produce for 10 weeks when well taken care of.

I got some bags of poultry manure for a while now

I bought a water tank for irrigation. I have drip tapes and layflat for the sub main.

Land has been cleared!

Will proceed to making beds and installation of irrigation materials

I am starting small.

Pictures will come later

There's been a break in transmission for some reasons concerning my tight schedule
1. I am rounding up my training as a tractor operator at National Root crop Research Institute Umudike so I have to be around as a trainee while the tractors are being serviced for this farming year.
Had to refurbish the implements to to avoid rust and repair ones that need to be repaired.
2. I also had to harvest palm fruits. Very hectic something. I'll be harvesting another set this week.
3. Since I don't want any activities distracting my irrigation process so I have decided to kick off with rain being my boost then I take it off from there. Once the irrigation is set then I'll plant immediately.
4. I am starting small, working alone for now and my strength is limited.
Hands will as we progress
