Just leave Nigerians. Only complain na im them sabi. Farming is the way! I always tell people, fix agriculture and you fix Nigeria. Agriculture is the only sector that can employ and create jobs for every other sector. Continue to ignore at your own peril.

Having bought the seeds, can you use the seeds from the harvested plants a d still give the same results or you still have to buy the seed (hybrid) again for another planting
please what type of fertilizer or did you use to improve yield or nothing at all
how many seeds per hole u put
lastly, did you use heap or horizontal ridge for your cultivation?

using the same seed from the harvested plant will give almost the same results but different quality.

how did you arrive at 200% profit
as a professional farmer I am scratching my head over this figures because the pepper I know especially super habanero will do better than 200% roi,for instance such small turnkey project will not cost no more than #300k to harvest,15 bags weekly for 15 weeks is 78 bags,the remaining weeks will round it off to 100+ bags,which at a price of #15-19k we will have an average of #1.6 m,from this figures it is easy to conclude that 500% ROI was produced by that farm and on professionally managed pepper farm 1000% Roi is easily achieved,if you know what you are doing

Greetings farmers, In this thread I will explain how Easy and profitable pepper farming is though I won't be Explaining in details grin


I started off early last year around the end of February, I did my nursery of roughly 3000 seeds (I pack of the super habanero f1 & the f2) after the nursery process I had at least 2500 seedlings which i transplanted into a small black nylon bag due to the temperature and weather conditions and it made it. easier for me to manage, it stayed at the small nylon bag till it first rain, I have already prepared the land so i transplanted the pepper to field, though it was raining daily but it was enough for the pepper to keep surviving. few weeks after transplant it started producing flowers and bearing seeds during that time it happens to be raining at least twice a week and it made the pepper healthy. around 2nd week of June my pepper started ripping and my first harvest was four bags. I harvest my pepper weekly and it increases after each harvest, during that period pepper was very scarce, costly and Infact,i wasn't meeting up with the supply because of the demand of the pepper in my area, when it was at it peak production I harvested 13 bags consecutively for 6weeks which was shocking and a bag was sold a 19k per 25kg bag. I harvested my pepper for 4 months before the production began to reduce but was still profitable. After the total harvest I made a profit of 200% return on Investment .

Pepper is very easy to maintain as long as you are giving it the necessary requirements and has just 40% stress but the stress can't be compared to the joy of making money every week. grin

We go again this year grin

Please I have tried many times without success to germinate pepper and tomato seed.
Please can u educate me on how to do it

Let me help you drop more intel, I stay in a two bed apartment (rented) I’ve decieded to keep doing organic farming at my backyard to keep paying the rent for this year, while I proceed to cassava outside my house later this year.

All you need to do organic farming in ur house is to get sacks, cans, containers and get soil from anywhere, then all your food wastes, anything you can see as waste in your kitchen as manure


The water melon in the sacks are to decompose in the soil as manure.


See my small achievements below. These are just barely three weeks old pepper and tomatoes I planted for my backyard.

Na mumu go dey complain this year. I already advice you all last year on my last thread.
Am a very pouch guy oooo, but I did this myself for just four days. I will continue again this month. Need more acess to sacks.

You're probably burying your seeds too deep in the soil. A light sprinkling of soil which just covers the seeds is sufficient. Also make sure your soil is not too heavy or full of stones. Water the seeds by sprinkling water on them. Do not allow soil dry out and do not overwater either. Try these and let us know how it goes.

This is very impressive. Kindly do a thread on this once they start yielding. Where did you get your soil, did you buy it?

Creating a new thread will get a wider reach once it hits. I'll definitely be looking into this sack farming. I have some portion of land not far from me which is gathering dust (literally). I've always been interested in planting there but going there to tend to the crops isn't so convenient considering my jam-packed schedule. I'll definitely be looking into this sack farming. Sack is not an issue, the dog's food we buy comes in baggo sacks and I still have tens of them even after giving some out. They will be put to good use this year by God's grace

Okay that’s understandable, I will start getting my documentation ready for another thread on this, probably around ending.

I just budgeted 5k for more sacks today, am resuming my 1hr daily planting again.

Like I said, am also a novice but trying from my backyard was my idea since last year. So I only planted red pepper. Tomatoes and Ugu.
By next week I will try coco yam, and more pepper.

I do not plan to transplant them, no land for that. The organic farming is for my household only. Right now am gathering experience alround to start my Mechanized farming for cassava this year. That cassava is less stressful and difficult to steal away compare to pepper. I believe the sacks should old the pepper.


Am open to any new experiences

do not expose it to too much of sun light because they do affect the seed.

Planting pepper in sack is a bad idea, I have tried it once and the outcome was not encouraging, pepper has a fibrous roots, with time the root get bound by the stack making it to stop growing and pepper has a long maturity period of 3-4 months and lasts upto 1 year depending on your management

I have never thought farming can be this profitable. But with your analysis I think I'm liking the idea. I'm a very young lady and I work in the building industry, so I don't have the energy for farming, but then can I employ people to do it for me or it's something I must watch closely

Agreed but that depends on the size of sack used, plus I’ve seen many people do it successfully even here on Nairaland
