Yam-in-sacks Harvest: Our Sawdust/Biochar/Rice Husk Experiment Results
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- The use of soil to plant crops in containers or sacks is the gold standard. However, in places where getting the needed amount of soil becomes a luxury, is it possible that other alternatives can be used? The result of this experiment will leave you with a lot of questions as to whether these other alternatives like, sawdust, rice husk and biochar could be substitutes for soil in the near feature. Find out the details as you watch!
I love this experiment. Also, love the fact that you seem to have enjoyed doing it.
Very educative!
Big ups!
You are very correct 💯. Thanks alot
Well done sir nice experiment 🎉🎉
Well done brother and in mine I will mixing the various component together to see the outcome. I will start my preparation from January and hope to plant officially start formally in February or March.
this is a great experiment, ive been planning right from time to use saw dust, but now i know i can use other media, weldone bros.. soil will alwas be worse becuse it compacts too much..moybe ill try mixing loamy with sandy soil
Very interesting experiment
The knowledge from this your experiment is enoumous, apart from the fact you could grow yam with the individual structure for the yam formation.
A mixture of Sand, biochar and sawdust will really do amazingly great the combo will retain water, and remain soft and not compact during the growing period and this combination will offer the yam opportunity to grow far deeper into the earth. You may be talking about 6 to 7 kg of yam or more. Definitely i will try this combination when i get home. I don't want my workers to do the experiment for me.
Thank you for this experiment, it increased knowledge on the structural sets that can grow yam if adopted. The rice dust could be mixed with Biochar and Soil proper to bring about some retention and keep the soil loose from planting to harvesting.
I am watching from Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific. Very educational and I would like to learn some more from your natural gardening experience. God bless you.
@@ElizabethTalum would be my pleasure. Actually have a friend who grows yam around your place.
Great job. Thank you for sharing your love. I pray the good Lord replenish all your time effort and strength.
you have opened up my eyes to so many possibilities I am Jamaican now living in Toronto Canada. I am moving forward onto a 5 patches of lands 1 acres 10 acres 50 acres 80 acres and 100 acres. This is an effort on finding the perfect space on which to farm none of these are my lands. I will be trying all you suggestions in green houses. I plan to measure all amendments even the amounts of water given to each plants. I would to stay in touch with you on this and other farming related issues.
I would be glad to help. Pls reach out to me via WhatsApp. I can guide you anytime you need my help. I do so for other subscribers. Looking forward to your messages. Cheers!
Doc, this is beautiful.
Great work.
You deserve an award for this study.
Congratulations 🎉
Mummy thank you ma😂
I always like to watch Utube channel, because you have taught me a lot.
I am sure I will use this experiment.
Congratulations, and thank you for always sharing your knowledge.
🙏
You are very thorough, sir. Simple experiments that are already making great changes and triggering wonderful imaginations in lots of people. God bless you, sir. You are a blessing to my generation, sir!
Sir, I suggest you try out the mixture as a new category by the next phase of the experiment as a comparison with this wonderful baseline pilot study you have done. Maybe, a mixture of soil/biochar, soil/sawdust and soil/rice husk. Then, there could be variations as well like (soil:others - 70:30, 50:50, 30:70, etc). Gracias!
Then, since roots can migrate to tap nutrients, maybe separating the bags could enhance further findings. To eliminate options where roots of the yam planted in sawdusk would migrate into the biochar and draw nutrients, and vice versa!
@@donaldonuoha4268 I am grateful for the kind words. Let's join hand to do more sir. Thanks alot
@donaldonuoha4268 wow! This is a brilliant idea I must say. Looking forward to trying this out. Gracias amigo!
Exactly
Wow! This is very inspiring and informative. Well done 👏👏
You are doing a great job. Good experiment.
You will be counted among Nigerians who raised the bar for national food security.
Congratulations 🎉.
Thanks so much for the kind words. And "amen" to the prayers. 🥰
I intended planting yarn this season, your experiment has helped me I can add casava peels to my soil and still get good results. We have heaps in my area...any concerns please share... thanks Sir.
Good day well done 👍🏿 I am learning a lot of new things to add to my garden 🪴 Thank you 🙏🏾
You are a blessing to the world. God bless you.
Keep up the good work sir 👍
You did a great job.
Very interesting and it opens a lot of people eyes (expecially me that am about to start yam farming) to another alternative way to grow yam. Thanks very much for this experiment 🤝
🤝
Great teacher 🎉
😂. Mummy I am blushing ooo
Nice one boss
Appreciated
I'm an adent follower
Thank you for showing your experiment.
It's one of the things I am thinking of.
Glad it's helpful!
Thanks for your program. Please teach us about milking to get seedlings
Check out my videos on how to do milking for seedlings.
This is a great experiments, well done sir.
Thank you so much! 😊
Loamy soil is the best for planting tubers, and to loosen the soil, you could add any of the alternatives you used in your experiment. I'm actually surprised with the sawdust results. Thank you for sharing, I'm watching from Atlanta GA.
Thanks for the tips!
Would love to know if you grow yams in Atlanta. If so, I would love to see a few pictures. Thanks
Congratulations 🎉 Sir. Good job!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the results! 😁
From this experiment I believe we can mix soil with sawdust and soil and rice husk
Thank you Sir.
I am a liberian, and an ardent follower.
Your videos have sooo much opened my eyes to yam farming in bags.
I really want to know if charcoal waste is the same as biochar?
And how can i get this biochar?
Thanks
Thanks alot. Charcoal activated with organic or inorganic manure is termed biochar. Check out my video on activation process. Very easy. So your charcoal waste is definitely the first step.
Thanks for the video, please did you decompose the sawdust? And please where can one get the biochar in bulk ?
I actually have access to lots of sawdust but I learned it's too high in carbon and consumes nitrogen from the soil. Kindly educate us more on this, God bless you
Composted sawdust not fresh. The secret most be don't know is that once you have access to sawdust, you already have the best form of biochar. All you need to do is to convert sawdust to biochar through a process called pyrolysis. You can look that up on my channel. Just check climate change in my channel. You see a less than 5 mins video where I gave the secret of getting biochar in bulk
😊😮
Thank you for this eye opener. Sir, should I want to combine the three (Biochar, sawdust and soil) together.... What ratio of each would you suggest to have optimum yield?
Equal mix would be nice
@@Naturesheritagenetwork Thank you sir
Thanks for the good work you are doing.
Did you grind the biochar before using it.
@@EnomaAndy Thanks sir. I get the dust from those who make and sell charcoal. It cost little or nothing. So I don't need to grind. They have no use for the dust. Infact they discard them, not knowing they are discarding "black gold" or should I say "black diamond" 😃
Pls watch my video on climate change solutions on this channel. You will be amazed about how the locals make biochar
Sir please can I have your contact information because I want to have a private conversation with you. I am resident in Delta state of Nigeria
Thx so much for d enlightenment.
The closed bottom rice was not big because rice husk can not retain water.
Did you use fertiliser for the Yams sir?
I mostly use organic manure water to fertigate.
@Naturesheritagenetwork how do we prepare that , or do they sell it sir?
Thx so much for the prompt reply sir
@@mercynwafor7019 checkout my short video on yam drinking coffee
@@Naturesheritagenetwork OK, will do sir
Well done sir❤
Please, what is milking?
Check it out on my older videos. It's well explained there
Good job sir, please how can one get biochar, and can you teach how milking is done to get the seed yams?
All these questions have been answered in my previous videos. Just search for what you need
What does it mean to milk and how is it done?
Check my playlist on yams
What amendments did you add?
@@emmanuelogbonna8881 fertigation with poultry manure mainly
is it one yam head that was planted on each sack?
Not yam heads. Mini tubers seeds . 4 in 1 sack
When is the next best time to plant my yam and what type should I plant please
Anytime if you have seeds that have broken dormancy and water for irrigation. It has to be in sacks
@ Thank you sir, if possible, please point me to any of your videos that explains the process of irrigation, quantity of water and duration of time. Thank you God bless you
@malikrecovery6906 check my shorts
Why did you do this experiment (four compartments) in one bag? Wouldn't it have been better to do them in separate bags?
True. That's something for the future. Thanks
Pls sir I have a video of my own results which I would want you to assess. I followed your methods, used about 25% saw dust mixed with soil, then planted in bags. The results shocked me, sir.
@@donaldonuoha4268 Fantastic. Pls send me a DM 08165261822.
😊
Where can we get rice husk?
From people that grow rice 🌾
Boss please
do you have a course or training or mentorship or anything like that for absolute beginners ?
Yes. Send me a DM via WhatsApp so we could talk more.
Great Job and good teaching. How do I get your WhatsApp number, cos I’m interested. I would love to chat with you before I start planting.
When using soil, it is very important for the soil to be loose in order to encourage growth
Very true sir
I think we can incorporate biochaol and saw dust together
I quite agree with you
Grate Job. But don't you think the genetic aspect of the seed you have planted have impact on the outcome of your results
I agree with you
Great experiment. I'm closely following all your videos especially on yam in sack farmingThank you for this eye opener. Sir, should I want to combine the three (Biochar, sawdust and soil) together.... What ratio of each would you suggest to have optimum yield? I think you should have included a combination of this in your experiment.

God bless you.
The reason why the open bag for rice dust didn't perform well is because the rice dust doesn't hold water
Makes a lot of sense
And it's draining the nutrients downward
@Dbrodas ok.
Pls sir can someone plate 4 mini sit in one bag??
doy you think 4 tuber is too much in one sack
Yh i think the reason why soil didnt perfom well is that it doesnt give room for expension
🤔. Making alot of sense
In order to replace soil which has a lot of diseases,we can use saw dust,rice bran and biochar
Hmm.🤔
If it's not compacted it is porosity
A compacted soil has low porosity. He already told you he is a layman, not an expert. If everyone made an effort to share whatever knowledge they have, our world would be a better place.
Disintegrated
