The way that this particular farm land has been layed out shows that urban farming is not just for fun and leisure activities but a serious business to make money from the small plot of land. Every small space on the plot and every drop of water on it is being maximized to achieve the desired result from the land.

What they're using is a simple pump to fill up dug channels with water, rather than expensive machinery that spray water everywhere and loose most of it anyways. After that the water is conducted to the roots of the Cabbage and Lettuce through the furrow of the channel. This makes sure that the water does not wash away the topsoil and that the leaves remain fresh during the day. It is a very cheap but very efficient way of irrigation.

The farm also uses crop rotation and timing very well. The plot had been full of okra for the past harvest and only after that the land was used for planting cabbage and lettuce within the same soil. This way of planting after another is called succession planting and it prevents weeds from growing and keeps the nutrients in the soil from being lost. Besides all that, you're not going to leave your farm land empty after your harvest waiting for another season, because you know that an empty land is not making you any money.

So the harvest will be big within three weeks and can be sold on the local market.

After three weeks of planting on this land the harvest will be very good because the way this Urban farm is utilizing every square foot of space and making the best use of water to achieve maximum results is the way that commercial farming is done on small city plots of land instead of huge hectares of land in rural villages.

It is pure efficiency, so you'll get high returns for working on small plots of land.
