We demonstrate simple, fun and effective ways of farming that are practical and realistic in the modern day, African context with an aim of empowering the inexperienced, new farmer to start and sustain farming successfully, even with limited resources. We do this by progressively sharing lessons from the actual day-to-day farm activities.
Our diverse farming ventures are selected objectively for their simplicity, relevance and profitability even for a novice farmer or anyone looking for a business idea to try-out as a side hustle along side a formal career job.
The self-sufficiency practiced on the farm illustrates the reality of homesteading in our low-resource context for those interested

Conserving precious water part 1 -Making swales on the farm
Hilly land is prone to soil erosion. In this video, I share the process of making our first swales on our hilly garden using an improvised A-frame to prevent this by slowing, sitting and sinking water in the soil.

Land wrangles -my inevitable fight

It’s foolish to go out picking fights but what should you do when the fight is brought to you? Sometimes force is the only option on the list. This video shows how my land frustrations showed me another way. I needed the land to start the farm but “wrangles” came along.

Is the Bamboo in the background part of the tree complex?
Woow, am glad you are following the conversation keenly. Yes it is..
Thank you doc... Following... keep it coming.
👏👏👏
Which country are you from, brother? The place looks amazing.
@@kennedynthiwa5100 Thanks my friend for this feedback. The farm is in Uganda.
This is quite insightful , thanks for sharing
Thanks for the feedback. I look forward to more of that.
Hi. On a 40 acres farm land, how would you mark and secure the boundary of the farm from thieves?
Interesting.. You really raise an important issue because farm security is paramount. Large land, however, comes with special challenges for example, it's hard to remember the entire land boundary by head so it's essential to mark it out clearly with the help of a surveyor initially and fence it off early enough. But because of the size, its quite costly and cumbersome to fence off 40 acres. It might be better to use a living fence for all the land while reinforcing the most critical areas with added features. This is all simple yet efficient and sustainable. I will be sharing what this looks like on our farm and the multiple options we are testing for a living fence in our context in the upcoming videos.
@snapfarming Thank you so much. I find the information you have provided very helpful. The person whose land it is has been scratching his head on what to do. A mixture of live and fix fencing he did not think of. Keep up the great work. We look forward to your next video.
@@paulirving2986 Am glad. Thank you too for the feedback. I look forward to more of that.
This is very resourceful and I'm glad I learnt something. Thanks for sharing how you customized the model to suit your land. I'm curious as to why this model was prioritized over others? Is it for its efficiency? I also wonder if the different items in the model complemet each other well if they are separate. I prefer that you combined the trees, cash crops and food crops.
@@johntukakira Indeed.. Very resourceful comments as always. I chose this model because it was developed in my country and therefore suits my context. I am new to farming so I don't want to start with very foreign ideas that have not been tested in my context But like you said, these don't complement each other well when separate hence the slight modification. I agree with you entirely
good work but I think you did not explain the 4 acre model well. It is actually five acre model. The first acre is for he house and backyard farming. The second acre is for growing food for the animals in the backyard. The third acre is for cash crops like coffee etc. The fourth acre is for food crops. The fith acre is for fruit trees.
@@ongwen-laodog Woow, that's an interesting observation indeed. I love your keenness. I was, however, was presenting the model as presented by its authors and only adding my revisions separately. But thanks. That's a helpful insight
Aso note that what you highlighted as backyard farming would be done on the acre for growing food crops for home consumption
Woow,thank u Bill.You're inspiring me to share my story too.
@@atuhairweemmanuel6778 Am glad bro. Please share that story
