How to start a rice farm
Good day, friends and fellow steemians, this is my post today. I am here to teach rice from the beginning to the end.
Rice is not planted in any type of soil; rice is planted in swamp areas where there is enough water, and it isn't used to dry conditions. Rice grows well in the rainy season when there is a lot of water.
In the northern part of Nigeria, rice used to grow very well because they have many swampy areas. And they don't have enough rain, but rain used to fall in four to five months, so that the rain is falling. So they are many swamped.
A fact about the northern part of the country is that if there is enough rain, there will be floods because it experiences many floods and erosion, especially in Jigawa state. So that is why rain is enough there.
Then, when you see a better swap area, you have to clear with your cutlass very low so that it will not be bushy when planting. Then you rake the dirt out of the swamp, and then you will allow it to dry before burning it.
You have to turn the ground upside down so that the plant will have a good space to grow very well, and all have extra fertilizer. You will need a hoe to do that. Then you will continue by using a small shovel to scatter the sand.
Then you will pour water on top of the mound so that animals will not come and eat it, because if they do, it will be very bad. After all, it will not grow. Then you pray for rain, the more the rain, the more the harvest. I hereby mention
