Vegetable Farming in Zambia: How We Farm Carrots: From Seed to Harvest

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Carrots are a popular root vegetable that are widely cultivated around the world. They belong to the family of plants that includes parsley, celery, and dill. This video shares how and why Mondo Farms cultivates this vegetable.
Like all our Crop stories, it starts with some background on this important and popular vegetable. It then takes an in-depth look back at how we planted and grew a crop of carrot on Riverside 1 Blocks A-C. The process starts with preparing the beds and then planted the seed. We next fed and protected the carrot, before finally starting to harvest.
The video also discusses the benefits of including carrot in our crop rotation strategy for vegetable farming success.

    Carrots dont need the sunlight to germinate and can do better with a covering like boards or silage tarps till the point they emerge as it helps better regulate moisture levels and prevent weed seed germination giving the carrots a head start, although of course this may not be practical on your scale. Thank you for an interesting insight into agriculture in africa from a viewer in New Zealand 🇳🇿 🇳🇿🇳🇿

    Mondo Farms is an excellent model for future farmers and learning how to grow food for a sustainable lifestyle. I am from North Alabama; USA and I focus on vegetables for salads as they are very popular in the USA. I am expanding my farm by using a shade cloth system, due to the heat effecting my cool green vegetables and tomatoes from blistering and sun scald.

    Thanks. Indeed, we are also planning to grow more crops under shade as climate change continues to affect us negatively. It's really quite bad here in Tropical Africa. Just this week, our Met Dept issued a warning about midday temps above 43°C. That would have been unhward of a decade ago.

    I am a retired pastor living in Nebraska, U.S.A. I am not a farmer but a home gardener who grows for food for my family. As you may guess pastors are not well paid. I grow mostly cheap open pollination. My soil is heavy clay, not good for carrots, but one does good. It is an old type called danvers half long. It can produce where other carrots do not. My wife is from the Philippines so some of her favorites do not grew here, too cold in winter. She wanted grow pineapple but when Oct. came and it froze that was it for the pineapple idea.

    Yields and returns depend on many factors. Plant variety, weather, water availability, and even experience of those growing the crop. As a formal business, we avoid sharing figures with the public. Our advice is to consult a qualified agronomist to guide you in your farming journey. Most reputable seed conpanies employ them to advise customers. There's a limit to what can be really ever achieved over social media. Our videos are merely a guide.

    Just kinda playing with the gardening-farming binary here: if farming is a business, and gardening is a hobby, then is market gardening, which in its early stages is physically more what we imagine of "gardening" (hand-can irrigation, walk-behind power tools if any), farming? Is subsistence farming, done when the farmer has a choice to get food from the market, gardening, even if they work in the same way a farmer does? I aim to get as much of my calories as reasonably possible from my garden, but I realize that cannot be more than 20% in a cold boreal location and on a plot no bigger than a small mansion (perhaps less than 3/100 of a hectare). I have no qualms with being considered either a gardener or a farmer, but I'd say I fall more on the gardener end of the spectrum due to the tools I use, my methods, my location (the fact that I'm doing this from my home, in an urban area), and the fact that I am both doing this for my own consumption and able to fall back on market foods.

    You mention "Farming is a business" but you died not sell us the book! You don't know that if you say it on You-Tube, you have to link to it??

    Yes, we are located in Zambia (a country in south-central Africa). Our videos share how we do things on the farm we have been developing for the past 3 years. We have yet to afford much mechanization yet, so most of our work is done manually. That also helps us provide employment to a sizable workforce, helping to solve a real problem of people earning steady income in such areas. Tractors and combine harvesters, etc, will come in time as we learn our farming game and develop the enterprise. No, we're not making much profit as yet, but I'm beginning to see light at the end of the dark tunnel we have been in. I'm fully committed to farming at this stage of my life and will keep pushing forward with it. We spend a lot of time and put in a lot of effort planning, shooting, and editing our videos, which are meant to help other developing farmers like us. Many of our primary audience are small-scale African farmers or those with an interest in going into agriculture. The channel was originally set up for an audience in Zambia and the rest of Africa, but now we are reaching well beyond that. Im glad to be able to show people outside the African continent a perspective of things outside what they may normally see. Those with an open mind are always welcome. Once in a while, we get comments from those in the West that seem to be trying to make us feel less than they are. That's not a great feeling and one that we really don't have to tolerate. It's 2023. Thanks for getting in touch. Take care.

    @@mondofarms4343 - well said. What is amazing of the work you and other "KZread" farm channels do is you show what i refer to as "The Art of the Possible". And it is exactly that - making the most of the available resources which is in essence what farming is all about. Not everyone starts with massive 150HP tractors and combine harvesters after all. Looking back at the "modern" western farms - they too started somewhere...I can assure you it wasnt with mechanisation. Anyway - rant over - thank you sir for the content. I have learnt more from this channel than most others given the amount of prep you clearly put into it. I appreciate you. Onward and upwards!
