at the sight of make millions on the topic i know that it would attract lots of people to this thread, but it would not be disappointing to you if you can be patient to learn the most stress free methods of getting good money within 45-50days. The world is seeking for more stress free ways of actualizing greater yield... I have always gone through lots of crucibles maintaining a whole hectere of farm land, with lots of challenges to go through... ranging from the stress of clearing a whole hectere plus ploughing and ridging as if that stress is not enough you now come to prevent weeds after the pre-emergence herbiciding u would still end up battling with weeds at some point in time, God save you if you are using mulching films just to prevent the war with weeds... come to think of it using 150k just for weed control on a hecter of land or cost of paying people to weed your farm like 2-3 times...i made inquiry of leasing a hectare of land for a year, can you imagine the price to lease? as if I was buying the whole land, that would be a story for another day... you may have not farmed on a hectare of land to know that pesticiding a whole hectare is not funny, doing that at least every week just to mention a few stress found at managing a whole hecter of cucumber farm...
necessity they say is a mother of invention... though hard times too can make your dull brains think twice...
I read here on naira land about sack farming, I put it into practice but the ideas of minimizing stress came to mind as I grew and matured in the sack method I produced my first 200 cucumbers stress freely and I enjoyed it... the only stress you have is filling the bags... but as you go through this my piece of research you would discover that the stress of filling those bags with Sand is nothing compared to the stress u would get farming on a whole hectare... the cost of calling the tractor for clearing, ploughing, harrowing and ridging divide it into 5... give one part to workers who would fill the bags with good soil and say bye bye to lots of things I would mention at the cause of this piece. now let's talk about how to convert a 3plots to a hectare... hope some one is following my new tricks on how to make a million from 3plots of land farming cucumber

Yes! am following u bro.

Sure we are here

what are the advantages of sack farming? 1) saving space 2) maximizing the potentials of land 3) u can even farm on roof tops sofar you are exposed to sun 3) retaining manure and avoid soil leaching 4) retain water etc... having known this I would know that cement bags are the best becos they are not that porous! they can retain more water for a longer time so you would not need watering on a regular basis... to our main matter, the standard measurement of land in Nigeria is 50ft×100ft. we are going to make use of a quarter plot for this experiment.

no.5 advantage of using sack. you have nothing to do with weeds at least for the next 2 years because the soil you have in those bags would remain there and you would use and re-use and re-re-use them hahahah if there is something like that... let's carve out a quarter plot... if a plot is 50ft×100ft half plot would then be 25ft×50ft therefore a quarter plot would then be 12.5ft×25ft wow thats enough space for our experiment... so if you have a quarter plot and you are still jobless I can borrow you some seeds... on this 12.5ft×25ft we are going to plant 1080 cucumber seeds.

im glad to hear that and will be expecting soon

pls how much do u buy sacks and where do u get dem .sacks are expensive these days.how many do u use on an hectre

Well said, can we have some pics pls. Secondly how many can we plant on 1 plot?

what kind of sack are u talking about I use cement bags... u could get them free from block industries... or either sold at 2-5 naira per bag

opobo007:
Well said, can we have some pics pls. Secondly how many can we plant on 1 plot?

approximately 7600 seeds on a plot

I have bought cement bags o. they sell #200per dozen and i bought 2 dozens for a start. lets hurry up with the lecture cos i cant wait to see my plants growing

thanks a lot for ur active participation in my lecture hall... contemplate on this pix and we would proceed

Thank you,

Sorry am drawing you back, half plot should be 50ft by 50ft and quarter should be 25ft by 50ft.
You can draw a rectangle measuring 50ft by 100ft on paper and divide it by two so to see.

Thank you am just pointing it out so people wont be misinformed.
Please continue am following.

I am having a seminar on cucumber farming @ owerri with some naira land friends... when am back we are going to examine this issue of measuring lands... what is a plot? how many ft make a meter? and the rest so that you can do your measurements yourself... stay tuned guys till I am back

Ok, patiently waiting

please, before we start dreaming of millions, how do control Downy may dew this harmattan period

Tnks sooooooo much, really appreciate this trend you av created, am a student who is very ready to invest. Pls the following is what I will really like you to discuss;
1. Is there a particular kind of soil to use, if yes, how do we get it or even recognise it, am not a farmer neither am I an agric student.
2. How much those the seed cost and how can we get it.......the quantity and current price.
3. What are the things we need to do, before, during and after planting to make sure we are successful in this project.
Those are my questions for now..........tnks so much for sharing part of your knowledge, patiently waiting for your reply.

as for me I don't buy the sacks... note that sack I mean are cement bags... the others are kind of expensive xos they serve lots of purpose... but I am talking about cement bags... u can get them at construction sites for free... or even block industries... they could be given for free or cost u 2-5 naira for one... as for how many bags on a hecter I cannot say cos I have not tried to fill a hectare with sack... but if you were following the above information you would know that our aim is not to plant on a hecter... our aim is to minimize small portions of land to give us same yield as that of a hectare which would be financially less, stress free, and manageable for a start.

let's get back to bizness... I thank the guy who corrected my measurement of land... instead of in feet I was measuring in meters... however there is a conversion of every measurement... from inch to cm... from cm to feet ... from feet to meter and from meter to kilometer...etc... we are going to be concerned about measuring from feet to meter... the question now is... how many feet make one meter? 3feets make one meter... and we would be measuring in ft for our land... the tape I am using to measure my land is calibrated in fts...

measuring a quarter plot one would observe how small a quarter plot is... but let's see how we can compress a quarter plot to give is some good yield... as I have earlier mentioned we are going to pair the bags on a straight line

measuring a quarter plot one would observe how small a quarter plot is... but let's see how we can compress a quarter plot to give some good yield... as I have earlier mentioned we are going to pair the bags on a straight line or on a roll u would place 46 bags and u are going to have 8 rolls on a quarter of land... after creating part ways for free movement and waterering... the point now is u would be giving 2ft space for watering and free passing... for a quarter plot would contain 46bags × 8 rolls = 368bags on one quarter plot of land.... u would be planting 3 seeds per bag, that would mean 368bags ×3seeds =1104seeds would be planted on a quarter plot

its wonderful

don't u think that such spacing will reduce yield?

shadowid:
don't u think that such spacing will reduce yield?

state ur critic by your points sir! how do u mean would reduce yield?

Merry Christmas my brother, Palmdaniel and every NL on this thread. Pls go ahead, I'm with you. Pls help answer these questions: 1. What type of soil can be filled in those sacks? 2. Where can such soil type be gotten from? 3. What are the irrigation procedures and methods/timing? 4. What type of fertilizer should be applied, when and how should it be applied? 5. How should weed be controlled on the plot of land where the sacks are kept?
