Try doing a surfaces reservoir using 2by6 woods and tarpolin like what the fish farmers do. A 6by6by 4 reserve Shud hold close to 30kliters of water but the catch is that you need to use a surface pump to distribute ur water to ur drip. That tank of yours will not even effectively water half a plot of tomatoes in this dry season so its not an option because of 1. Size of tank 2. Distance from tank to plot to be used 3. Pipes used are small in size.

Secondly ur reser

Mistake that can cost you your farm: 1 fertilizer; know dosage,when and how to apply it. If you do mistake, your TOMATO will die. 2. Manure, if you do not allow your poultry littter,pig,cow e.g to compost and you use it fresh, your TOMATO will die. 3. Insecticide, if high dosage is use especially on young tomato, the result will be devastating. 4. Namatode, if you don't know history or you are using the farm land for the first time to cultivate TOMATO,it make sense to treat the soil. Have heard someone said "he lost 6000 stand to namatode." 5. Seedlings tray, after you sow seed inside seedlings tray spread them on soil (if the soil is fertile, your seedlings will thank you), if you spread them on concrete they will be dying/cripple one after other maybe 10-15days, because there root has shoot out and could not penetrate to search for nutrient/food.
Always look before you leap...more loading....TOMATO Farmer pls add your own and let make Nigeria Great!!

Hello Boss.
Please what's your thought on cucumber cultivation between now and March 2023 considering the unpredictable upcoming elections?

Is it a wise plan to cultivate cukes considering the economic instability (could affect markets if there are conflicts) accompanying election periods?

good day everyone,as we have started gradual preparation for 2023 farming season, please i would like to know important ,last year i used raised bed for my nursery preparation and i have decided to use seedling tray and coco peat this time. i've seen several suggestions online about using cocopeat in nursery preparation and different models of using them,the models includes ,
1) just ordinary cocopeat soaked in water
2) soaked coco peat mixed with manure
3) NPK added to the water used in soaking cocopeat
4) calcium nitrate added to water used in soaking cocopeat
5) Tecnokel Amino CaB (liquid calcium) and DI grow red added to the water used in soaking cocopeat.

please guys which of this methods is tested and trusted method to guarantee the best result..

please treat as urgent.

I always go with number 1, Although I do make sure land am placing it is very fertile, I even add little dry manure to land before placing the seedlings tray. I have seeing Number 2 too but make sure the manure is dry!

the only time I experience failed nursery (cucumber) is when I bought fake cocopeat, when I noticed, I rushed to bought another, then did another nursery... very painful experience. waste of time, waste of money.

my advice to anybody seeing this..do not pay a dime upfront, even call credit. It normally pay on delivery service including transportation of the boys. Nobody should come here to cry or use this thread as a dispute grand.

materials I used for 15 plot is thesame with materials you will use for 1 plot, lesser quantity is the difference. The materials is available on this thread or my irrigation system installation thread.
