why ss or se? Although, it's true that animals are not usually allowed to roam about in the east but we might have to deal with assorted rodents and other wild animals like antelopes, monkeys, wild pigs especially those that plant deep in the Bush.

Baba people are even doing 5 acres at a go

Planting at once

His variety is Jorad... Jorad doesn't really need pruning unless you wan stress yourself.

He hires women when it's time for Harvest.

He plants 2 acres under one day... So he uses one week to plant an acre.

He hires women for that Job... Same with side dressing

what I mean in that "context" is SS and SE are the original lover of cucumber, only few Yoruba really like to eat it, so there is potential market in SS and SE than South West.

it was sold here today at 9-8k per bag

One of my strategy is to always Dodge heavy competitor, at the moment, I noticed me and one colleague is harvesting thesame day (three times in row now) this is someone that can arrange cucumber very well, if he did not sell his Cucumber finish no buyers will look my own despite removing 1k from my own. I called him today, he said "he will harvest today and bring it to market tomorrow" me will be doing my harvest tomorrow,then take it to market on Wednesday.

Cucumber buyers always comes to buy between 6am-12pm here, if there is no environmental or rain. Exactly 6am too, I will be in market to sell, I always make sure I sell all my Cucumber before I leave market even if I need to reduce price, I don't want Agent palava.

This particular one fruitfulness is another case study .. fingers crossed! I harvested five at once in some stand!

Which variety

Farmerakinloye6:
1.there are some material I listed on my irrigation system and kit thread you will need to price there, or contact cedagrochemical she is on nairaland or the address below. If you are going manual,I will advise you do 500 stand maximum. 2.if you are in South West plant greengo, you don't want to have issue when it is ready for market. I bought 1 sachet (1000 seed ) 8,700 in November, you can contact cedagrochemical she sells, though have not patronize her but Mr okoroemaka and ideepaul once vouch for her. Sure I will always answer your questions here. I feel your passion bro, God will help you.

1. Contact Cedagrochemical, she has #9,500 for 1000 seed. 2. 1000seeds at 30cm. Cucumber on a plot of land is not a pilot project, for it to be successful you need some level of seriousness..use manure,stake, spray when you suppose to, prune, and apply fertilizer. If you want to do pilot maybe you should grow between 5-100 stand, 1,500 stand no be moimoi Good luck!

I took like 16 bags to market today, and I sold it at 7k each... some of my colleagues sold 8-7.5k. Another harvest by Sunday.
