Some of you want to practice small farming but don't have the land or time.
Let me tell you how you can plant few Vegetables in Pots.
You can have few pots in your Veranda with grown plants e.g Tomatoes 🍅 you can eat later.
It's a thread.
Retweet to your followers.😊
You need 3 things
1. An earthen pot/Bucket
2. A loamy soil (manure).
3. Limestones/ evenly grained gravel

The bucket can be a new or used but don't use a broken bucket.
If it's earthen pot ensure its in good condition.
Step 1. Thoroughly Wash bucket/pot to remove dirt or any
Form of pest. Then dry it.
Step 2. Place two handful of limestone or gravel at the base of the bucket (this is to help you with good draining of water & to prevent root decay or rot.
Step 3. Fill bucket with nutrient rich soil.
Ways to get nutrient rich soil.
The soil must loamy
Soil (not clay or sandy soil)
Get an animal dung or poultry droppings
And lastly get wood shavings (saw dust).
Mix these 3 things together with small water ( use hand if you can)
Thoroughly mix them.
Pls small water oo.. not potopoto Pls. You can allow it dry if too much water.
Fill your bucket/pot with the soil i.e on top of the limestone or gravel.
To plant your crop is not add.. you can plant tomatoes or bell pepper (Rodo).
If you can't get the seed, No problem.
Slice your tomatoes & place a ring of it into the soil and cover.
You can extract seed
From your bell pepper and plant.

For this potted plant you don't need fertilizer.
There are home made nutrient you can add to your potted plant.
Your hair/weave on hair (small) when added to d soil it is good for nitrogen.
If there are bugs disturbing your potted plant, sharpen a ✏️ pencil the shaff when added to d plant repel bugs.
When you wash your rice to cook the water don't throw away it's a good nutrient for your potted plant.
When you boil eggs the water has calcium content add to your
Potted plant.
If there too much flies on your potted plant sprinkle soapy water on it.. it repels the flies.
