  • 1Write on chalkboard: (1) Loosen soil with a hoe, (2) Mix in compost or manure, (3) Fill nursery bags or bed with fertile soil, (4) Plant seeds at correct depth, (5) Water gently. Learners copy into exercise books and repeat chorally three times
  • 2Using the textbook diagram of seed depth, explain: pepper seeds go 0.5 cm deep, okro 2 cm deep. Ask: Why do different seeds go to different depths? Learners discuss with their partner and share one reason with the class (e.g., big seeds need deeper holes)
  • 3Demonstrate on the chalkboard using a simple drawing: show how to fill a nursery bag with soil, mark the correct depth for a pepper seed with your finger, and show the watering can. Ask learners to mime watering seedlings gently without drowning them
