Good -Life Devotional: STARTING AN
AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS WITHOUT MONEY. ( PART 3 )
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Ecclesiastes 9:10
"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."
    The word  'findeth' in this scripture is the Hebrew word mâtsâ' , it means to appear , find , acquire , present . The opportunity to prosper will present itself and it's our responsibility to find them . Here is how to get about your agricultural business without money.
Tips to get started without money:
BORROW UNUSED LAND OR SPACE FROM FAMILY OR FRIENDS.
Join agricultural cooperatives or government youth farming schemes (e.g., N-Power Agro).
Barter your labor for access to land or tools. There is a bushy land that needs catering. Offer to clear it and farm on it .
URBAN FARMING  For city dwellers .
Urban farming is perfect for Nigerian cities like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, or Onitsha, where space is limited but food demand is high. Here are 20 urban farming business ideas you can start without money (or with very little capital):
1. SACK FARMING
Use old sacks or bags to grow vegetables like ugu, spinach, or tomatoes on a balcony, rooftop, or small backyard.
2. CONTAINER GARDENING
Grow herbs, vegetables, or even fruits in buckets, plastic bottles, or bowls—free and available in any home.
3. VERTICAL FARMING
Use walls, wooden racks, or hanging containers to grow crops like lettuce, basil, and scent leaf in small vertical spaces.
4. ROOFTOP FARMING
Convert a flat rooftop into a mini garden using drums, grow bags, or shallow basins. Great for leafy vegetables.
5. HYDROPONICS (LOW-COST STYLE)
Start with basic setups like plastic pipes or trays and nutrient solutions to grow crops without soil—even indoors.
6. MICROGREENS FARMING
Grow fast crops like wheatgrass,  mustard, or radish in trays. Ready in 7–10 days and can be sold to restaurants or health-conscious buyers.
7. HERB FARMING
Grow herbs like curry leaf, mint, uziza, or lemongrass in containers. Package and sell fresh or dried.
8. BACKYARD TOMATO FARMING
Tomatoes are high in demand. You can grow them in buckets or used rice bags with sunlight access.
9. MUSHROOM FARMING
Use a small, shaded area like your kitchen corner to grow oyster or button mushrooms in bags of sawdust.
10. UGU (FLUTED PUMPKIN) FARMING ON FENCE
Grow ugu on a fence or trellis for space-saving and high returns. Sell fresh leaves locally.
In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and zeal to overcome excuses .
PRAYER : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to succeed .
