Finally, i got the seed from jumia and it was delivered today. The students are very happy and will plant their cucumber tomorrow morning. We have our fungicide and liquid fertilizer available to apply weekly after emergence of the shoot. 1 Like |

Follow us as we plant tomorrow. We apply our manure on Friday, can we plant tomorrow? 2 Likes |

leksymaxy:Don't plant on Friday yet Is your manure wet or dry? You can do Basal application (mature at the point of planting) to help save wastage After applying your mature,water it so it can decompose a little into the soil,it'll be like a sweet seasoning Then wait a bit for your Eba to done,pour your soil on it and plant on Saturday evening Irrigate well But if you meant you applied your manure last week Friday then sure you can plant tomorrow |

Nice project. Ur staking will give problem in the future. Use 1 stake for 2 rows and leave enof space between rows. . During spray of pesticides, the students shud not be allowed to come close until the next day. They shud wash there hands thoroughly after handling sprayed plants. 1 Like |

Thank you sir, can you kindly explain how we can do the staking very well, your contribution is needed sir.God bless you sir. |

leksymaxy: Instead of you using four rows of bags on one stake, reduce it to two rows per stake. That is one row on each side of the bamble stake. |
Re: My Students' Mini Cucumber Farm by leksymaxy(m): 12:03pm On Oct 08, 2020 |
Ok sir, we will do that asap |

I noticed some powder on the leaves of the plants and after some consultation, i discovered that it is the spore of the fungus that cause the powdery mildew. This project is based on organic farming, so we are going to apply sodium bicarbonate [baking soda] mixed with enough water to the plants to kill the fungus and eradicate the spores 1 Like |

leksymaxy:. If u can get neem oil, it will be better. It is both an insecticide and fungicide. |

FarmTech:sir how can i get the neem oil? |
Re: My Students' Mini Cucumber Farm by FarmTech(m): 10:13pm On Oct 30, 2020 |
leksymaxy:. I don't use it now, but I hope buying from Contec Agro in Delta state. They sell organic pesticides. Their Neemsol cost N5500/L. There are some sellers here on NL, but I have not tried them. |
