Vegetables are more than a side dish to one’s meal. In the integrated farming program, vegetables are a source of income as well as a source that covers many household needs, the most important being sustenance.
These natural food sources are full of vitamins and minerals, which are vital for healthy living. This is why it is so important to plant and grow vegetables correctly, so that they themselves grow healthily and optimally, and of course, abundantly.
The Vegetable Planting Process
The steps are as follows :
1. Prepare your land by loosening the soil.
2. Fertilize your soil, preferably with an organic fertilizer.
See some of my previous posts on how to make your own organic fertilizers.
3. Water and moisten the soil before planting your seeds.
4. Dig narrow lines in the ground, with a space of 10 to 15 cm between each line.
5. Sow the seeds into the lines, about 10cm apart and 1-3cm deep, depending on the size of the seeds.
6. Cover the dug-out lines and seeds with soil.
In essence, the planting of vegetables is very easy. But once your seeds are sown, your job is not done. You need to continue to water your plants sufficiently as well as ensure that they are getting the correct amount of light. You well have to keep them safe from insects and pests too. You might need to pull a few weeds out here and there, to ensure that the weeds do not strangle the roots of the plants.
Handy fertilizing tip
Make your own organic fertilizer by combining goat urine and rice water with a dose of 5% organic fertilizer fluid. Mix this with water and use it to water your vegetables.
Conclusion
Vegetables can usually be harvested from 21 to 30 days from when they were planted, but this depends on the type of vegetable as well as what size you want them to be at harvesting. In the Integrated Farm program, we are encouraged to plant 3 square meters of vegetables every day, to keep a continued amount of vegetables available for selling or consumption.
GOOD LUCK,,,!!!
