Thediarygame 14/04/2022|How And Why I Do Weeding in My Farm By @vickydear

Good evening all my lovely friends, hopefully all of us are doing well in our various locations, I am happy to meet all of you here again, and I am thankful to the admin and moderators of this Community @steem4nigeria.

Before Going To The Farm

When I woke up early morning today by 6am I conducted my morning worship by reading a portion of the Bible which is 1corinthians 15:22, which says that because of Adam all are dying, so also by Jesus Christ all will be made alive, how? This is true because Jesus Christ willinly gave his precious life as a ransom to set us free from Adamic sin and death and give us the hope of everlasting life.
After considering this I said a word of prayer and then do my house chores and then quickly prepare my break fast which is pap and beans cake (akara) I bought the beans cake from the seller. After enjoying my breakfast I left to the farm for the weeding by 7:30am

Why Is Weeding is Important in Agriculture

Weeding is one of the most necessary thing done or practice in a crop farming, weeding is the removal of unwanted plants in the farm ,the reason weeding is important is because weeds compete with the main crops that we plant, for example its compete with the different factors such as water, nutrients, sunlight, and even space and it will affect the growth of the plant.
So weeding can be done 2-3 times and its should be controlled in the initial stage.

What Is a Weed

A weed is the unwanted plants in the farm. Because it is unwanted there is a the reduction in yeild also.weed can be done by pulling them out with the hand using hoe or trowel .some people used chemicals called weedicides.weeds transmit pests and disease to the crops that's why it is Important to control it in time.

My Farm

I reached the farm 7:45am since it is not too far
I'm practicing a mixed farming what I mean is that I planted different crops in one farm and these are cassava, maize and fluted pumpkin vegetable, I planted it immediately after the first rain of this year called early planting and that was early March this year 2022. This is my first stage of weeding in this farm

Tools

• Hoe and my hands

I used hoe to pull the weeds down and then used my right hand to scattered them and spread them for the sun to touch so that they will die and become a manure to the planter crops.

After weeding

I was finished weeding by 12:30pm and come back to the house and took my bath and rest for some time and then get up by 4pm and prepare my dinner, since I have vegetables source in the fridge so I only parboiled white rice and eat with the already prepared source and eat yummy yummy.
