Planting Maize - Practical Demo with Brian Oldreive


Brian Oldreive training the farmers at New Creations Church, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe

Brian Oldreive taught the farmers how to mark and dig their holes in straight lines with the correct spacings according to the region they are in i.e. region 1 = high rainfall and while region 5 is low rainfall patterns. He demonstrated how to put basal fertilizer in each hole and cover it slightly. Three seeds were put into each planting station and the holes were covered leaving a level surface.
The principles he spoke on were, on time, to standard, without wastage and with joy.
