A Nigerian woman has showed off huge yams she harvested from her sack bag farming.
According to the woman, she doesn't need a farmland as she uses sack bag to farm.
She shared on social media a practical way farmers and agriculture
enthusiasts can plant their crops right at the comfort of their compound
in their houses using the sack bag farming method.
The woman who identified herself as Sikade Wemimo in videos shared
on Twitter by @oba_jero said with this approach to farming, there really
will be no need for huge farmlands to cultivate crops.
In the first video, Wemimo, a recipient of Best Female Farmer award
in Ondo state in 2004, said she planted yams in sack bags and planted
vegetables above the yams to serve as mulching (a form of manure to the
yams) during the dry season.
The mulching, according to her, will not be necessary during the
rainy season. She stated that she has so far planted 400 bags of yams
and is still planting more.
She added that there are diverse crops that can be planted using this method namely vegetables, peppers, tomatoes and so forth.
In a second video, she showcased the bountiful yam harvest she recorded on the farm as well as some already developing crops.
