My Dry Season Water Melon Farm In Ebonyi State by ume(m): 8:38pm On Nov 19, 2016 |
I just planted water melon three weeks ago after losing aIot of money during the rainy season.I still believe that i can get it right one day.i had that there is alot of money in farming.people said it loves sunlight alot and that it needs little water.my seed is f1 bought from Thai Agro.I used pig dung alone because no money for fertilizer .hope to make good hervest because my fees have to be paid .I planted 4 plots and would water manually.

i have to warn u, there is a report on the net that states u can not grow water melon successfully without the use of chemical insecticides. they are notoriously known to invite pest. If it were a greenhouse growth it wud b another tin entirely. jst giving u heads up to prepare chemicals aside incase they start attacking it dat way u wont lose much. from just d backyard experiment i conducted recently under organic conditions, o boy pest destroyed everytin leaving only one melon for me, bf i could even harvest just dat one, borers got in and condemned it. |

nice attempts big brother, u have done well to venture into my area of specialization, "watermelon farming" however to honest u are running a great risk cos from what I am seeing they are not that healthy, what is the essence of ridge or mounts when it comes to water melon farming? watermelon does not like water logged areas and it is mostly advisable that ridges are used during the raining seasons, and omitted during the dry season, they have strong roots DAT can enable them go search for water deep the ground but would those heavy mounts they are a tin line between survival and shrinking... weldone though for ur ruggedness in trying it the second time but I bet u, u still need more training. good luck though |
