👉Open Beds~veggies are grown in an open cultivated piece of land.
👉 Concrete Benches ~frame work of bricks, or concrete is constructed, suitable soil is then used to fill up the benches.veggies are planted until maturity.
👉Green Houses~this are structures made of glass or plastic roof and plastic or glass walls, the transparent glass or plastic allows the sunlight to enter and warm the inside trapping in the heating.

17 LAWS OF FARMING YOU SHOULD KNOW :2023

1. Never target peak seasons, peak seasons come with their own challenges. Be a farmer not a gambler.

4. No crop that is not profitable, just master the pro and cons of a particular crop.

5. Having a lot of many is not a licence to successful farming.
