In this episode of CropKids, little farming friend Obi, a sixth-grader, shows how to plant brinjal (aubergine) seedlings in a pot the right way.
Planting with care
Obi demonstrates using loam soil, the rule for mixing in organic compost and how to set the seedlings carefully without tearing the roots, doing it all himself.
Brinjal facts
Viewers learn about brinjal's nutritional value, its role in fighting cancer and a fun story about why brinjal prices suddenly rise during Ramadan. At the end of the video, Obi sings a song.
Children are encouraged to plant brinjal seedlings on their balconies or roofs and send in photos or videos.
