Good morning,

I have ugu leaves for sale directly from the farm. order for any quantity. though at least a sizeable quantity. can supply anywhere within lagos. My farm location is at ikorodu. I will also embark on large scale dry season ugu farming by November, so potential buyers should also keep this number.

Sequel to the project implementation discussed, Epe is my next destination. An acre of farmland has been secured and I went sightseeing over the weekend to know what is needed to get started. Good thing, we already built a farm house on the land sometime last year. It's going to be a while in the forest before I see civilization again. Missing my Goats already cry (thanks to videos calling through the help of my workers grin)


Unfortunately, the person who was supposed to be a caretaker for us on the land had already grown some corn & cassava on the land while we delayed, I intend getting rid of everything.
Reasons would be discussed in details on another thread.


But wait oooo!!!
Lekki - Epe road is such a disaster. Never have I seen a road so bad in my entire life since my existence. It was a total nightmare for me and a horrible experience to all. I repeat never ever ever go through that route. But, is the Ikorodu route any better? Chai...

Wow such a massive piece of land! I trust you will update us on the daily activities? Btw, are you cultivating the whole acre? And if so, what crop(s) are you cultivating?

Well done Op. God bless the work of your hand. Been following the thread with a different account. I hope your farm house is safe. Pls stay safe.

This question might be funny but can I get good soil to buy in Lagos? I have searched for soil everywhere. I also need cocopeats and nutrients. I saw a thread on twitter where it was mentioned. Thank you so much.

From the picture sent in, I can see mosaic related issues here (TeMV); small tiny leaves, chlorosis, mottling and stunted growth.

You are right, thats why I came here oo. If I could see a very good veriety. Do you know how one can spot a good veriety? I have always relied on my neighour to supply me seeds, but his current price is just too much.

Thanks

Good quality seeds are basin,port and calabar in that order. They are costly now. Basin will become cheaper between month end and mid next month.Note: itis far far better to buy costly ugu seeds than bad seeds.
