Zimbabwe: Potato Farming in Sacks

Many Zimbabweans have been forced to innovate new ways to make ends meet as they struggle to survive with many being unemployed due to weak economy, many farmers have embraced farming to fend for themselves but in a special way, practicing potato farming -in sacks.

I have invested in grow bags and am growing potatoes in my garden now every year. I can get up to 20 good sized potatoes in each bag and they have lasted all the way up to Feb. There is no excuse now, everyone should be able to grow crops in bags. Best thing is that you can move them around too and they dont need weeding. Its sooo much easier. The only downside is the watering.

[@egwuekwemaryesther]

Please how were you able to achieve this, did you grow and keep adding top soil or it's the manuer you used

[@benbo7042]

Excellent move.

[@marydhumu6657]

How many potatoes do yu plant in a bag yu did not show the whole proses

[@stonehobbit]

I like the fact that the humble spud will and is a cheap food source. New Zealand kumara/ sweet potato, also grows like the potato... Same requirements ...just letting yah know

[@islamicschoolofmemestudies]

Taewa were much more easier to grow in colder climate...Back then me dad used to grew these thing on the back(usually aruhe). Zimbabweans were gonna have some hard time living within those sanctions. Wood ash could be a good substitute for chem ferts. Used to take me jandals into the skirts of hill in south back then while me dad was bussy mingling with dairy cattle heheh.
I looked it up and finds that rhodesia was a fucked up state to begin with. Much different than how we started our relationship with maoris here in NZ. They were too segregated with the more dominant native peeps that they are creating their own utopia and rarely integrates the native community into their farmlands. These pockets of farmland shouldn't be dependant on mechanization when they were low on oil. Just need something that could grew on arid desert.

[@desmondjames6891]

the west particularly britain tried to hurt Zimbabwe with sanction, but Zim is ever moving forward despite that, the west will get what it deserves one day!

[@khansen6736]

well those fuckers did end up killing lots of western farmers, they did deserve it, but it should've been far worse...

[@Grown123abc]

if they sat the bags in water basins, as seen on Larry Hall's kiddie pool garden, they could grow even more variety of food and save water too.

[@nkwakutoure]

hopefully now, they can do some 'rain gutter' gardening and grown some tomatoes.
