My Anambra Nigeria Brother! This your Video is SUPERB & POWERFUL!! Watching your Video all the way from Washington DC. Your Video is Very Educative and Informative!!! Thanks very Much for the extra length you went in editing the video clip 27:15 for a better explanation. Thanks.
Thank you so much. This is an eye opener. And you are a great teacher, and hope you will be absorbed into any high institutions as a proficient Lecturer
Hello farmer. I’m planting tans in bags this rainy season. I have been educated by your videos. Good job. I’m trying different methods and investigating which is the best method.
Can you do without feterlizing at all.. Like zero fertilizer? if one has a fish farm, can the outflow water be used as an alternative to fertilization especially if one is doing the Yam Sack ? I have learned so much on your farm and I would really love to dive into Yam farming.. Is it posible to provide hydropondics for the roots while it grows in sacks?
It better to use fertilizer either organic or inorganic, choice is yours. Yes you can water from fish pond. It has lots of nitrogen. That is an option to explore (I mean the hydroponics)
Thank you very much Sir, and greetings from Cameroon . I will like to learn more and become a yam farmer here in my locality. Sir can one use farm Drilling machine for digging refill the hole then plant?
A minimum of 4 weeks but always check. Until the heat is completely gone, but u can apply earlier than that , only don't allow it get too close the germinating roots. But if you prefer to mix with soil before you make your heap, apply 2 to 3 weeks earlier because it takes about 2 weeks for organic manure to mineralize into the nutrients the plants can use. Thanks for reaching out to us.
@@Naturesheritagenetwork I think you deserve much commendation for replying me this quickly. What a good job you are doing! Kudos to Natures Heritage 👍
@@Naturesheritagenetwork But point of clarification pls, I always notice yam farmers using a stick per yam.....why? I think there must be reason. All I am after by asking these questions is to maximize my harvest because I am starting for the first time in my entire life. I was born & brought up at the riverine area where there is no land let alone farming. But this year I just made up my mind, according to the lessons learnt from Buhari & Tinubu administrations, to go into farming. And reason for my questions is just to ensure I get it right.
@@Naturesheritagenetwork I got some palm kernel dust from some local Oil Mill, bag them in sacks two spade down the sack & some chicken manure from my backyard on top the two spade of dust then fill the sack to the bream & I plant my yam. Though I was told to use tried chicken manure hence I put it down the sack to have it compost before the roots & tuber get to the stage. Am I making any sense at all??? Because I am still on the process. I kept the sack bag after filling in the dust with the manure down it, just to allow the compost.
Pls sir, what is the average size of yam seedlings for planting in heap and that of planting in ridges? Can an average seed yam b planted on ridges? What is the distance between two heaps? Finally, I noticed you don't plant cassava in your yam farm pls is there any disadvantage in doing that,? Keep up the good work! God bless you!
Average size is 250g-350g is just ok. Either heap or ridge but I prefer heap. Distance is 1meter tip of one heap to tip of another. Cassava and yams are both tubers and are heavy feeders on nutrients, planting both at same time will definitely reduce yield of particularly the yams. If u must do both, plant yams first and give a space of about 3 to 4 months before planting cassava. That way the yams get to do well before the cassava takes off.
@@Naturesheritagenetwork Since the aim is to get a bigger tubber. So one should meet up to the standard as in the heaps. the 100kg Bag of Beans.. The amount of soil in a heap, will it be equal to the 100kg bag of Beans? What is also the amount of moisture in soil at any given time.. One can also measure that in a controled system.. As in the bags..
What do u do when your yam has already broken dormancy and the stem has already grown up to 3feet b4 u r ready plant. Do u plant with the stems or cut them off half way or lower?
Any of the above mentioned is good but don't remove completely. I like to plant it that way so it finds it's path of reestablishment by itself Watch out for a short video on it soon.
It's really very generous of you to share your knowledge 😊

Thanks for sharing sir, watching from Cameroon I wil try yam farming

God bless you
I am a yam farmer from Benue state Nigeria. The 3rd method is the best for me.
Fantastic. Pls send me a DM. 08165261822. Let's chat further. I want to know you better. Cheers. Looking forward to hearing from you ma. God bless.
Is it possible to also milk minisett@Naturesheritagenetwork
Yes sir. These is a video on that. Test harvest video, towards the end of that full video. Pls check it out
Thank you so much.
This is an eye opener.

Est il possible de planter l'igname dans le sac en saison pluvieuse bon vidéo et pratique.
This is wonderful ❤️

How long will my poultry manure take to be cured?
A minimum of 4 weeks but always check. Until the heat is completely gone, but u can apply earlier than that , only don't allow it get too close the germinating roots.

How do you fertilize in bags with poultry droppings?
Details soon
How do you fertilise the yams in the bag.Thanks
@@dorcasapeagyei1653 check out my video on that. Thanks
Is it ideal to allow two or more yams climb a stick? If not, then give reason(s)
Even Up to 5 can climb. For yams in sacks, up to 10 can even climb a stake

Please what's the status of a yam when it's already bringing out flowers
Tubers formation stage
Learning a lot. Please for staking in sacks, how do achieve it?
Just like for heap but a bit longer to compensate for the length of sack above the ground
How many kg of soil is in a heap? This should be considered when doing yam sack.
It depends on the size of sack and whether the soil is moist or wet

Great work. Kindly inform me, how many yams can use a stake. Thanks.
Max of 4 if it's for ware yams.
Pls sir is it possible to also milk minisett
Yes sir. I have a video on that. Check it.
Can I stake with swin rope
Pls explain more. Swin?
Possible plant yam's in sack in reany season?
Yes
Can i still plant this month?😅
Yes u can
I want to plant yams but they haven't broken dormancy yet. Will they still grow?
It's better to wait. Put them in a cool dark place and water once weekly. In 2 or 3 weeks u have your sprouts
Thanks, I'll try it and let you know.
