Step 1: Choose the right location: Find a sunny spot in your garden with well-drained soil.

Step 2: Prepare the soil: Remove any w**ds or debris and loosen the soil with a garden fork or tiller.

Step 3: Amend the soil: Add compost or well-rotted manure to improve the soil's fertility and drainage.

Step 4: Start seeds indoors: If you want to start from seeds, sow them in seed trays and keep them in a warm, well-lit area until they germinate.

Step 5: Transplant seedlings: Once the seedlings have grown a few inches tall, carefully transplant them into the prepared garden bed, spacing them about 12-18 inches apart.

Step 6: Water properly: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Cabbage plants need about 1 inch of water per week.

Step 7: Fertilize regularly: Feed your cabbage plants with a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to ensure healthy growth.

Step 8: Mulch the soil: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the plants to retain moisture, suppress w**d growth, and regulate soil temperature.

Step 9: Protect from pests: Use row covers or netting to prevent pests like cabbage worms and aphids from damaging the plants. You can also use organic pest control methods such as companion planting or spraying a mixture of water and dish soap to deter pests.

Step 10: Monitor for diseases: Keep an eye out for common cabbage diseases like clubroot, black rot, and powdery mildew. If you notice any signs of disease, promptly remove and destroy affected plants to prevent the spread.

Step 11: Harvest the cabbage: Cabbage is ready to harvest when the heads feel firm and are fully formed. Use a sharp knife to cut the cabbage heads at the base, leaving a few outer leaves intact.

Step 12: Store the cabbage: Store harvested cabbage in a cool, dark place or the refrigerator to prolong its shelf life. Cabbage can also be blanched and frozen for long-term storage.

Remember to rotate your cabbage crops each year to prevent soil-borne diseases and maintain soil fertility. With proper care and attention, you'll be rewarded with a bountiful harvest of fresh and delicious cabbage!

The truth is

"if you knew what your problem was, you’d have solved it by now.

Why?

Because you’re smart and ambitious like that so it is not for lack of trying.

In Fact!

For the past four or five years I have been observing many of the same faces chasing every new project that is on trend.

Each career pivot is punctuated by a stint of political activism.

In the same 5 years I have seen others build or grow multi million dollar business enterprises and climb career ladders.

Consistency and continuous improvement, is all you need. Apply it to any project in the world from horticulture, Piggery, Beef, Forestry or any other sector.

The trick here is understanding the land use & management planning, which allows you to quickly pick opportunities that have it all when it comes to cash flow & Capital Gains! -- I have always myself & told my clients that.

But if I was to start farming today what would I do differently🤔

1.I would start small.. dont be in a hurry to make it. Directions is more important than speed

2. Make sure you have the right man power. Human resource is the key factor to a successful farm

3. I would invest in myself too. Learn some basic farming. Attend work shops seminars and prioritize farm visits to other successful farmers for learning

4. Before anything else on the farm, infact before buying land would first site for the new underground water potential zone mapping from Afrostain and drill a good yield borehole

5. I wouldn't invest very much in infrastructure. Invest in production and let your produce build your infrastructure one step at a time. Many farms have great structures but no money for production. Avoid going in too big...

5. Plan your farm in detail, plan for every 3 months which is quarterly, plan mid year every six months and plan yearly. Always have a 3 year plan how you want your farm to look or where you expect it to be and a 5 year plan known as the long term plan

6. Prioritize marketing strategies and market research. What good is a product that cant be sold????,

7. Be consistent on one thing.. you will hear stories from new farmers like what is more profitable between veggies and piggery or broiler chickens? That's a wrong question.. anything done well and consistently is profitable. What most people lack is consistency

This is what I would do differently....

What would you do differently???

Farmers may choose to plant GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) and hybrid seeds for several reasons, including:

1. Increased productivity: GMOs and hybrid seeds are often engineered to have traits that enhance productivity, such as higher yields, resistance to pests and diseases, and improved tolerance to environmental stressors. This can result in increased crop production and higher profits for farmers.

2. Pest and disease resistance: GMOs and hybrid seeds can be designed to have built-in resistance to pests and diseases, reducing the need for chemical pesticides and herbicides. This can lower input costs for farmers and result in healthier crops.

3. Improved quality: GMOs and hybrid seeds can be designed to have better flavor, nutritional content, and shelf life. This can make the crops more appealing to consumers and increase market demand.

4. Environmental benefits: Some GMOs and hybrid crops are engineered to require fewer resources, such as water and fertilizers, which can help conserve natural resources and reduce environmental impact. They may also be designed to grow in harsher conditions, reducing the need for land expansion and deforestation.

Overall, the use of GMOs and hybrid seeds can offer many potential benefits for farmers in terms of productivity, sustainability, and profitability. However, it is important for farmers to consider factors such as regulatory requirements, market demand, and potential concerns from consumers when deciding whether to plant these types of seeds.

Agriculture is the way forward Africa! youths need to get more involved in farming.

African youths need to consider going into farming as a viable career option because agriculture has the potential to create sustainable livelihoods, boost food security, and contribute to economic growth in the region. By engaging in farming, young people can play a crucial role in addressing issues such as poverty, unemployment, and malnutrition, while also promoting sustainable development and environmental stewardship. Additionally, embracing agriculture can help to revitalize rural communities, strengthen local food systems, and preserve traditional farming practices and cultural heritage. Overall, investing in agriculture can empower African youth to be agents of positive change and contribute to building a more resilient and prosperous future for themselves and their communities. Let's encourage more young people to see farming as a rewarding and impactful career choice.

Irrigation plays a crucial role in to***co production as it helps ensure consistent growth and quality of the crop. Here are some key points to consider when implementing an irrigation system in to***co production:

1. Water requirements: To***co plants require a consistent supply of water throughout their growth cycle. It is important to determine the water requirements of the specific variety of to***co being grown and adjust the irrigation schedule accordingly.

2. Irrigation methods: There are several irrigation methods that can be used in to***co production, including drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and furrow irrigation. Drip irrigation is often preferred as it delivers water directly to the roots of the plants, minimizing water waste and reducing the risk of disease.

3. Timing of irrigation: It is important to schedule irrigation at the right time to avoid water stress or waterlogging in the to***co plants. Irrigating early in the morning or late in the evening can help minimize water loss due to evaporation.

4. Monitoring and control: Regular monitoring of soil moisture levels and plant health is essential to ensure that the irrigation system is providing the right amount of water to the to***co plants. Automated irrigation systems with sensors can help in maintaining optimal soil moisture levels.

5. Water quality: The quality of water used for irrigation can have a significant impact on the growth and quality of to***co plants. It is important to test the water source for pH, salinity, and other factors that may affect plant health.

6. Drainage: Proper drainage is essential in to***co production to prevent waterlogging and ensure that excess water is removed from the field. Installing drainage systems such as tile drains or ditches can help prevent water accumulation.

Overall, implementing an efficient irrigation system in to***co production can help improve crop yield, quality, and profitability. It is important to consider the specific needs of the to***co plants and the local growing conditions when designing and managing the irrigation system.
