A Mistake I Made In Agriculture And How I Could Have Avoided It by Nobody: 10:28am On Apr 23, 2020 |
Hello nairalanders, I understand this period is so intense especially emotionally. Let's ease those emotions a bit Mention one mistake you made as a beginner that almost got you crazy( ), ao you could have avoided it, and a better way it could have been done. I recently ventured into vegetable production, especially tomatoes, I was so lucky to get my nursery right. Everything looked so cute, beautiful and perfect until I crossed my boundary. I read something online about kerosene used in controlling pests, I didn't know what came over me, I woke up the next morning and sprayed my cute tomato nursery with concentrated kerosene. Few hours later, went to check my nursery and I almost fainted. They were burnt beyond recognition It was that day I experienced what it actually means for ones heart to skip a beat, cos mine skipped several beats (lol). It's funny right?? I was emotionally down until some sweet individuals ministered to me to start afresh. How I could have prevented this: I could have easily tested my perfect kerosene mixture on a small portion of my nursery and observe the reaction Better ways I could have controlled pests in my nursery: I could have opted for mild and organic methods like: a) using a sticky trap b) using organic pest control like neem oil, biopesticides etc c) planting a pest repellant such as mint, basil, coriander etc beside my nursery Can you kindly share your bad experiences also and ao you intend tackling such in the nearest future. Thanks |

Mine is employing an indigene of the community as my farm hand. He almost collapsed my investment with his evil mind and laziness. |
