HELLO HIVE
Farming vegetables using the river bank is getting more challenging for some farmers because of the increase in the number of small-scale farmers that are trying to get into this farming business and the more the farmers that are participating the more the small vegetable beds that are made around this river to the point where there are no spaces around the river anymore, any form of expansion would not be of benefit to new people trying to try farming vegetables the fact that these people are paying for this portion of land makes this very tough for others.
The More these farmers get pushed away from the river because of the growing farmer population the more they have to improvise to keep close to the river and continue enjoying the benefit of the river that is the source of the agriculture around this part of my place in a season when not even a drop of rain ☔ is falling off the sky and every other place is dry right now.
Farmers who have irrigation machines can extend their pipe from the river to a considerable distance but even with this pipe, there is only a distance that they can get to at this point, farmers who don't have these machines are trying to sneak their vegetables into any small space around the river that they can get.
The slope from the bridge down to the river is now occupied which is surprising that these farmers are trying hard to sneak in when this wasn't the case a few years I keep wondering if the demand for it or the cost of it is the reason why so many farmers are creating this sudden interest in it.
