Why I never skip crop Rotation
As a kid we used to plant maize on the same plot year after year. At first, the harvests were great. But by the third season, the soil looked tired, pests were everywhere, and the yield was half of what I used to get.
Then an old farmer told me: “The soil is like a bank. If you keep taking without depositing, you’ll go broke.”
That’s when I started rotating my crops. Now my plot works like this:
• Year 1 – Legumes (beans or groundnuts)
They fix nitrogen in the soil, so I don't need to buy as much fertiliser.
• Year 2 – Leafy vegetables (spinach, cabbage)
They use the leftover nitrogen and cover the soil, keeping moisture in.
• Year 3 – Maize or sorghum
By now the soil is strong enough to support a heavy feeder, and I always get a bumper harvest.
• Year 4 – Rest (cover crop like cowpea)
This gives the land a break, controls weeds, and adds organic matter.
I won’t lie – planning rotations takes a bit of effort. But my soil is healthier, I spend less on chemicals, and my market returns are more consistent. Plus, my grandfather would be proud! 😅
Do you rotate your crops? What sequence works best for your area? Drop your experience in the comments – let’s learn from each other.

So there is this idea of not at making eggs come in contact with water that they will spoil. How true is that? Or is it just a theory?
Let's hear you...

Se ke oa Hlatsoa Mahe a Litšila Pele U a Rekisa
Balemi ba bangata ba nahana hore ho hlatsoa mahe ho etsa hore a hloeke haholoanyane. Empa haeba u na le khoebo ea likhoho tse behelang, ho hlatsoa mahe a litšila ho ka fokotsa nako eo a lulang a le matle ka eona, hape ha eketsa monyetla oa hore libaktheria li kene ka har'a lehe.
Lehe le sa tsoa beheloa le ba le lera la tlhaho le sireletsang le bitsoang bloom kapa cuticle. Lera lena le koala masoba a manyenyane a khetla ea lehe, le thusa ho thibela libaktheria ho kena. Ha lehe le hlatsuoa, tšireletso ena ea tlhaho e ka tlosoa.
Ho e-na le hoo:
✅ Boloka mabokose a ho behela a hloekile ebile a omme.
✅ Bokella mahe bonyane makhetlo a 2 ho isa ho a 3 ka letsatsi.
✅ Fetola joang kapa masalla a ka mabokoseng khafetsa.
✅ Mahe a silafetseng haholo a sebelisoe lapeng ho e-na le ho rekisoa e le mahe a foreshe.
✅ Haeba ho hlokahala ho hlatsoa mahe, sebelisa metsi a futhumetseng ho feta mocheso oa lehe, ebe u a boloka sehatsetsing hang-hang.
Tsela e molemo ka ho fetisisa ea ho fumana mahe a hloekileng ha se ho a hlatsoa, empa ke ho boloka sebaka seo likhoho li behelang ho sona se hloekile.
🐔 Likhoho tse phetseng hantle + Lihlaha tse hloekileng = Mahe a boleng bo holimo + Bareki ba thabileng.

Tseba na o thibela CUTWORM joang!
Mokhoa oa ho Thibela le ho Laola Liboko Tse Khaolang Limela (Cutworms)
Cutworms ke Eng?
Cutworms ke liboko tse phelang mobung 'me hangata li tsoa bosiu ho tla ja limela. Li khaola kutu ea semela haufi le mobu, 'me semela se oa kapa se shoa.
Mokhoa oa ho Tseba Cutworms
Matšoao a bontšang hore ho na le cutworms:
- Limela tse nyenyane li oa ka tšohanyetso.
- Kutu ea semela e khaotsoe haufi le mobu.
- Ho bonahala masoba kapa matšoao a ho jeoa makhasi.
- Liboko li ipata mobung motšehare.
Limela Tse Atisang ho Hlaseloa
- Poone
- Linaoa
- Tamati
- Khabeche
- Sepinichi
- Rape
- Lettuce
- Pepere
Mokhoa oa ho Thibela Cutworms
1. Lokisa Tšimo Hantle
- Tlosa mofoka pele u lema.
- Tlosa masalla a lijalo tsa khale.
- Lema mobu hantle ho pepesa liboko le mahe a tsona letsatsing le linonyaneng.
2. Sebelisa Temo ea Phetoho (Crop Rotation)
- U se ke ua lema semela se tšoanang sebakeng se le seng selemo le selemo.
- Fetola lijalo ho fokotsa likokoanyana.
3. Hloekisa Tšimo
- Tlosa mofoka khafetsa.
- Boloka sebaka se potolohileng limela se hloekile.
4. Sireletsa Limela Tse Nyenyane
- Beha lesale la pampiri, polasetiki kapa khateboto ho potoloha kutu ea semela.
- Lesale le lokela ho kenella hanyenyane mobung ho thibela liboko.
5. Hlahloba Tšimo Letsatsi le Letsatsi

- Likokoanyana tse jang liboko
Qoba ho sebelisa chefo e sa hlokahaleng e ka bolaeang lira tsena.
7. Sebelisa Likokoanyana-kholo (Biological Control)
Haeba li fumaneha, sebelisa lihlahisoa tsa tlhaho tse sireletsehileng tse etselitsoeng ho laola liboko.
8. Sebelisa Likokoanyana-kholo tsa Lik'hemik'hale Ha ho Hlokahala
