After perusing some interesting cucumber threads here on Nairaland from Cucumber Ogas' them , l decided to experience it myself. I will be sharing pictures my cucumber farming experience from start to finish on this thread. Feel free to add your comments.

It's actually my first farming experience, so it's a pilot work

It all started with Bush clearing...

Land cleared

Ridges Making

The soil appears fertile

Booked some bags of organic manure

It seems that you're in Uyo

Please plant a variety that's being sold in your side so you won't develop headache over marketing.

God will see you Bro.

I think the cucumber glut in SW is not only about rain farming. From what l observed the price was even better in the peak of the rain than now.

Btw, this is more of a pilot(test farm)...

Most Farmers in The North are bringing their goods down to the SW because of the rain too.

Cucumber sells at a very High rate around December - Late April or Early May

Yea bro

You have a point

Cutting of staking materials...

Staking in progress....

Good morning sir, what staking method are you using?

Secondly, what's the essence of the folier?

Bamboo sticks and rope as seen in the picture.

The forliar is a liquid fertilizer, it also helps in leaf formation and water retention...
