guess Jasper and many others like him will never truly understand the value they are adding to the Nigerian economy not in terms of naira and kobo but motivation and conviction.

This farm is in Lagos. These are beds not ridges. They are 1m wide and 6m long.

Yay!!! My Cucumbers fully emerged yesterday, though I noticed some insects eating up the seed leafs, will have to resupply on those areas this evening and take pictures then. Keep following Day 6 today 3/1/2015.

it's not cheating o. lol. it's just the challenge with vegetable market. some vegetables depreciate within 24hrs. the fresher, the costlier

yes o. if you discover pest activity, you spray. altho you can try to reduce the concentration a bit.

i cant believe i just re-read the thread from page one to last page again.

also watch out for lizards, just to verify the pests that are disturbing you. Lizards dey chop new seedlings wella o. Strange, but true. narrow down the pest type, before you spray. so that you know what pesticide to use. and don't spray directly on the plants. just spray on it's environs for now. till at least 2weeks old. cheers
