This idea is for those who have land that can be planted with cassava. Maybe 1,000 square meters would be ideal. The planting material of cassava is cheap and if you know the owner of a cassava plantation you can even get it for free. The stem of the cassava plant is cut into 10 inches long. That is what to be planted on the ground to be covered by 3 inches of soil. The cutting is laid on the ground and not vertical.
The planting is best to be done when the rainy season stars so that all you do is to wait after planting. The cassava will grow by itself. After the rainy season (3 to 4 months) the cassava can have tubers as big as half a kilo for each plant. You can pull the plant and place the harvest in a sack. For a 1,000 square meters plantation you can harvest approximately 1,000 kilos.
