Interesting thread Mangam, Had a lil experience farming kankana (what the Hausas call it) in Bunkure, Kano early this year. The harvest was poor and I can't really point fingers as I was barely around and left it with some mallos to manage. I also failed to carry out serious feasibility studies as I just got carried away by the fact that almost every TomDicknHarry was planting it there, so I didn't envisage much problems. Fast forward 3 months later and almost a 100k gone (yea! see milking), all I had as harvest were not commiserate with expectations. Apart from the fact that the intense sun affected some (the mallos didn't want to harvest in my absence and I was too damn busy in Lag, they said the harvest was poor generally (I can partly attest to this as their Cucumber and Tomato yields in the part of the village I got were also poor). I'll attach pictures later sha. It was a real learning curve then, though I later came to realise that it is planted down south too. I intend doing it again sha but I don't have the time these days and relying on someone else (which I have to) is quite limiting too. I.might keep you guys posted then. Nice one Mangam. TL;DR Been there, done that (with no supervision from me coz I left it in the hands of others). It was crazy, expensive, and not as fulfilling as expected. My bad though. |

Did you apply the herbicide directly? Or on the sides? 2 Likes |
Re: A Thread For Growing Watermelon In your backyard With Photos by Nobody: 8:15am On Sep 04, 2014 |
Latty88: Did you apply the herbicide directly? Or on the sides? He applied it in the air. Haba. The seed was covered with soil so it doesn't matter where you apply it. All the questions you guys are asking are either in his article or the picture or plain common sense would do. 2 Likes |
