While also maintaining that farming can be done throughout the year using the method, Larrison encouraged LinkedIn users to be innovative.

From the images shared by the IT consultant, the sack bag farming had already brought forth fence-high produce.

His post read:

"I started this terrestrial/above ground farming as a research. And today it gives me so much joy to see how it is growing. You can start yours today. It is an all year round farming. It can be done anywhere no matter how small. Choose to innovate."

Larry said it however has its disdvantages

The Enugu state indigene revealed in an interview with Legit.ng that there are however some lows of this approach as anything that has an advantage, according to him, will have disadvantages.

He stated that the farming technique:

"...Attracts undesirable elements like snakes, mosquitoes, other harmful insects and animals. However, this is not specific to edible plants as normal flowers too will have same implications."
