Almost all that was cultivated on my farmland has been harvested. The Maize has been harvested, sun-dried and dehusk. Only the Cassava Remains, still has a couple of months to go before it will be matured enough for harvesting and consumption. So I decided to clear the land that lay bear, getting rid of weeds as the new planting season sets in.
Since we harvested our maize, the maize stem still remains and weed has taken over the area, so I decided to clear the land, myself along with some guys went to the farm early this morning, we took a handful of cutlass, sharpened it and some hoes, some rubber boots and a head gear for protective measures.
The weeds and maize stem were getting dry already been that we are presently in harmattan time here, so it was not easy getting the work done as it would have been if it were during the raining season.
We faced the work squarely only taking time out for break in-between fue to thw scorching sun and to eat some snack and water. After the the weeding, we gathered the weeded dirty to one side so that later we can set it ablaze.
Before we round up the days work, we weed in-between my cassava crop too. Some weeds that were competing with it for nourishment, so that they don't stunt it's growth.
Having done all the above, I took some selfie, this was after I had giving the guys that worked with a tip, then we call it a day. With the cost of things this days one has to be proactive and make use of any opportunity that comes by, produce from my farm has help me reduce the expenses that goes into purchase of food drastically. You can give a try also, like a small garden within your house premise.
Thanks for coming by my blog, do have productive day. @Seunny loves you...
