Good one.

When I become President, I will prioritize giving people like you big loans to invest in Agriculture.

Pikin wey talk say na pigeon head him go dey chop wen he grows up, na pigeon head no go gree make him grow.

Before u become d president, he would have ruled over ur generations

Hello everyone,

I recently began a sack farming project to see how possible it was to grow cucumbers in sacks. I'll like to announce that it was a successful endeavour. For those who don't have land to farm on, you all have no more excuse. It's as easy as just putting soil (which is free) in a sack and that's it. I thank all the agric, vegetables and cucumber lords of this forum. Una don try and una still dey try. Please enjoy the pics...they speak better.

Please feel free to ask any questions...

Good concept @op. What of those of us who live in face-me-I-face-you house with no space for farming? Abi we go suspend the bags for air? Which ever way you look at it, you still need land (space).

vanpeele:
@Austin234 I have 300 sacks. The sacks cost me nothing cos I approached a block maker for the cement bags but in Kaduna you can get them for 50 naira for a dozen, 5 or 10 naira for one. The soil is free.

Bought 5 bags of cow manure @ 200 per size 6 sack, so that's 1k.
Pesticide (fighter 35ec 500ml) for 1k, Murano F1 for 4900 naira at the time (the price is now 6500 due to dollar) and the other varieties for free . In total that's 6900 naira.

Didn't sell my first harvest. Shared it for blessing sake but my second harvest (this Wednesday), I harvested two bags from three rows. Market price was 1500 per bag. Sold mine at 2500 . Cucumbers on the other rows are still growing in size so I hope I have more next week. I hope this helps.

After all this and you tell me you arnt gonna hit it hard very soon....Thunder fire laziness.
Keep it up bro

This is so nice. I am also base in Kaduna and would like to meet with you if you don't mind. Thanks

This is wonderful. wow. Bro, pls can you drop me your phone line or email.
Nice work. God bless your hustle

vanpeele:
@HRich well it's the context. when you speak with an average Nigerian about farming he/she would say no "farm" land or capital. The point of all this is that any space or land (not land for bush) can be farmed on. Good question though.

Thanks and sorry if i put my question wrong or maybe you misunderstood it the wrong way. I love farming too.

maaaan dis is so nice, May God bless ur hustle real good. thumbs up!

Good one there, OP.

You like that one?

@Vanpeele please which area of Kaduna are you staying? I stay in Kaduna too and will like to visit your farm and see things first hand. Do please send your phone number to me via jonaseph@yahoo.com. Thanks for sharing this encouraging story. i am planning to go into sack farming too.

Ladies like eating cucumber!!!! Buh I hav a question! Are dey eating it from the mouth or else where!!!!! Had a case of two unn ladies who ate deas from d oda side!!!!!

Op, if dey put d sand in d sack they would still need to put it in a place which is still a land.

@fkj950ax

1. yes
2. Agritropic Murano and Nagano. Murano is more tolerant too cold weather and the best. The other two I bought from Johnny's seeds (check online).
3. Depends on weather, nutrients and variety but between 40-70 days.

Send me a message.

@dovelike no it's not. Grows out from the stem.

@Donvitalis federal college of forestry recommends top soil, sharp sand and cow manure @ 3:1:1 ratio respectively. I used black soil (burnt waste from the city) and cow manure.

Good Job bro, God bless us husle

@macklef LOL. It musn't be plenty sacks. You can have 5 or 10 in your house. Just plant your favorite crop. When it matures you won't need to go to the market to buy. Saves you small change.

@HomeOfMe sack Farming is basically planting in sacks that has soil in them instead of open ground.

@plonuh Get a sack, pour in suitable soil mixed with cow manure (NEVER USE CHICKEN MANURE) and plant any crop you like.

@Khalhabs Go ahead

permanentgrace:


You like that one?

yes boo boo
