So today at school me and my sutdents decided to do somthing different. We decided to plant potato in bags
My school where I work lack space for farming and as agricultural teacher, the raining season can not just come and go wothout engaging into one or two planting. Growing potatoes in bags is an excellent solution to Homes and schools that lack enough space for farming. potatoed are one favorite and versatile food that's easy and less expensive to grow.
While there are many lovers of potatoes, not all have the space to plant it thus, the need for this simple act. All the student were group into eight (8) with each providing two bags making a total of 16. We went outside the school to get a rich soil and fill 2/3 of the bags with the soil. With the aid of a cutllas stems of potatoes were cut to atleast 8cm long. For each bags, we planted 3 to 4 slips of potato stems .
The planted potatoes bags is placed in a site with at least six hours a day of direct sunlight. We will be observing and watching how it grows. For potatos, sprouting begins in 4days time .
We hope to have a bomber harvest at the end.
