There are many idle lands in the rural area as I had seen in my last trip there. All they have are grasses and weeds. For the owner of a land of 1 hectare or more it is advised to convert it into a farm. Depending on the owner's capacity to visit the farm it can be planted to vegetables or crops. If the farm can be tended at least once a week, a crop of corn or cassava will be a good choice. The harvest will take care of the cost of tending the farm. If the farm can be visited often then a vegetable garden is better because it is a high value crop especially the lettuce that is always in demand in the restaurants and supermarket.
I had an uncle who bought a 2-hectare land that he planted into flowering plants. After 6 months he was delivering cutflowers to flower shops. It is not earning much but at least the land is not stagnant and there is work to do. So if you have an idle land and you have a little liking for gardening the best way is to convert the land into a garden of your choice.
