Sack Farming In Nigeria (24513 Views)

Sack farming is an innovative urban farming method that involves growing vegetables in bags filled with soil, compost, and sometimes stones for drainage. This technique has gained popularity in densely populated urban areas, especially among communities with limited access to arable land, as it requires minimal space, water, and resources.

I tried this sack farming last year in my compound and I regretted all my hardwork and money.

Samajogs:I have so much vegetables in my backyard from my sack and buckets that women in the compound are now enjoying it more than me, but I am happy seeing them harvesting from my Ugu and spinach leaves and making soups for their families. I mixed my soil with animal dung compost I bought from people growing flowers before planting and it produces lush green vegetables. I bought one bunch of Ugu seed in Kogi state pictured below as I was ing through the state for N1,500 and it contained 98 seedlings, something they sell N200 per seedling in my area. My wife used to complain that vegetables has become too costly in the market, so I decided to try this sack and buckets farming, now we have plenty of it and she complains that she no longer like the smell of Ugu and I have to beg her to put some vegetables in our food, its hard to please that gender ![]() 68 Likes 11 Shares |

Samajogs:I also tried it and planted yams and beetroot. The yams came out really well, quite big but the beetroot was a total waste of time and effort. Looks like success is determined by the choice of crops. 14 Likes |

It has a Major disadvantage in the sense that not all crop can grow in a sack... Its a NO-NO for me and every sensible farmers out there. |
