ishaqteejay:
the upper rope should be strong or use galvanize wire and use 50 naira rope for the vertical ones.i used 2 bamboo sticks for each line of sack or anything that is strong.

aquadude15:


sir how do you tie the rope to the plant when staking or you just drop the rope and ithe plant climb itself

sack farming materials and cost analysis

---

1. sack =#80 per dozen
2. soil(black soil,cow dump,top soil)@ ratio 3:1:1 price and quantity may varues,so no price,
3. seed =any high yielding hybrid variety is highly recommended = #4900 -#6500 depending on the state, company etc
4. fertilizer = apply every 5 days or 1 week. or check fertilizer application for a particular plant and the type of fertilizer needed for the plant.=#5000(npk 15:15:15 25kg)
5. pesticide= fighter 32 ec is good for killing pest, check for the types of plant to apply to and check manuals on how to apply. =#900(500ml)

*The sack should be fill half with the soil mixture
* 1 to 2 table spoon of npk
*sack should washed properly
*proper row spacing should be done
*string your cukes early with strong wood and ropes

Op I'm in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. Can I still cultivate cucumber this year or is the planting season completely over? If I can still plant, when is the ideal planting time? Note I want to go sack style.

ishaqteejay:
you can plant all season,you should buy a cucumber variety that is all year round (murano,darina,tokyo. etc) and have borehole or a well that can wter them if not in rainy season.
