I'm using DD force.

It won't clear it all.

You need laraforce gold (Lambda cyhalothrin 5% + Imidacloprid 15% SC) or Renova (thiamethoxam 250 wdg) to get rid of aphids.

There are traps called feromone traps. See it at work in this video where profitable farming is discussed with right choice of seeds.

I'll do so.
Won't it be too expensive for a backyard gardener ?

It's around N3000 or so. Gardening isn't cheap at all but the reward is worth it in the long run with knowledge of first hand farming.
I consider it as lesson money.

Honestly it isn't cheap and I salute the courage of full-scale farmers.
For this season alone, I've expended over 20k on what I'm not selling
Some peeps see this as foolishness but I know it's knowledge gained. If I were to quantify the data spent downloading materials (videos, eBooks etc) on gardening!

All the same, no knowledge is wasted or lost

Dear diary,

Compliments of the new month! It's going to be a fruitful one.

We're here with the first official harvest of the cucumbers!

This is dedicated to emmaachile2 for been a great human being . His assistance offline has been of tremendous difference in the garden. The Laraforce Gold he suggested is really working! The fruitflies are gone and now I can enjoy my harvest peacefully.

This harvest is official because it's the one I've gotten time to update on this diary but it's actually the 3rd round of harvest

Other plants are doing well.

Stay tuned for update on the new mulching method I'll be trying out as dry season approaches

Shalom.

Thanks for the compliment. How many fruits per plant so far?
Cucumbers can keep producing for 8 to 12 weeks or even more if it has the right nutrition.
Any granular fertilizer used so far?

Honestly I didn't note the number of fruits per plant.

No granular fertilizer used except the foliar spray. I only have the 20-10-10 granular fertilizer.
I don't think that's still needed at this stage. Or is it ?

Not advisable except you can combine 10g of npk in soil with your digrow red foliar spray.

I've been considering that DI-Grow also.

That'll be for next planting season.
For now, make my account relax small.

We're moving into animal husbandry soonest!

Which foliar are you using? I thought you have a foliar.

Agrovert. The one with high potassium content. I can't recall the numbers now

That should be ok.

Dear Diary,

It's been a long while here!

Lemme clear the cobwebs here and sweep the room first
Updates are coming!

We're moving into a new phase!
New crops to be experimented with and improvements on on previous plants!

As usual, stay tuned!

Dear Diary,

It has really been a long time!
No vex!
Updates on my backyard garden: harvests of cucumbers, eggplant and carrots have been going on steadily.
Radish and onion have been planted (as experiments), watermelon also has been planted.
I am fully enjoying the benefits of container gardening in a small space. It has its limitations tho (we'll discuss this later).

All in all, it has been a good year so far!

We do not give up!
This is a learning page for me.

Cha ching!!!
