What is the distance between your ridge boss

Farmerakinloye6:
At the moment we are in cucumber glut period, the biggest was sold 6.5k this morning. For a Smart farmer he/she will sell as soon as possible and comot eye. Dem greedy mofo cucumber will rotten this short period I saw up to like 15bags pig will eat this morning. If you have materials to plant, plant ASSP. I HAVE LIKE 1.5K STAND and I will be doing another nursery next week.

Cucumber is everywhere boss.
But I see the glut reducing soon(max 4 weeks)

I have 28k now can we seal a deal tomorrow

Farmerakinloye6:
plant greengo and worry no More with hand pollination.

Thanks for today baba

Farmerakinloye6:
When I got to market this morning cucumber was many, and I intend selling at 12-11k , I looked around I see my cucumber is the second best, I heard she was selling at 10k so I drop mine to 9k, when she sold her own finished, I returned my own to 10k ASAP. I sold 9, 9.5 and the rest 10k today. I know many are following my diary, and i intentionally updating price to encourage and inspire anyone that one to be a farmer. It one thing to grow healthy and bountiful pant, marketing is another thing you have to understand (you must know how and when). One nairalander which I don't know his name was using my name to fight his battle which I believe is childish! One of our agent called me yesterday. Aquadude15 I believe you now understand how our market work... care to share some insight?

Producing cucumber here isn't a hard task but of you are going on a large scale, you really have to take marketing serious unless you would have most of your cucumber spoil before getting a buyer.
Learning how to bag to make your cukes attractive.
Keeping the biggest sizes which would be used to fill up the bag.
Making sure the cucumber untop is rinsed before bagging (this makes it attractive)
Don't be to greedy with price as my oga said earlier. If their are many cucumber in the market sell asap even if it would require a little deduction.
Always stay with your cucumber and make sure you sell everything that same day. If it stays overnight at the market, it loses its value

Farmerakinloye6:
not nutrition, it the weather. My friend that plant January is experiencing thesame.

germination needs warmth and moisture, which is the reason why some farmer experience irregular germination as a result of the dry/cold weather

Ayobami3310c:
What of self pollinated varieties??

I intend trying it out next week

Stvic:


Baba it's even the cucumber seed germination am talking about. I did direct planting and the seeds are coming out very slow one after the other like say dem be snail. I should have used seed tray the transplant.

make sure yo wet well

Olaleyeabdullah:
poor pollination right?

yes. lot of aborted fruit

Stvic:
Weldon baba. When is it safe to plant oohhh... I mean with this cold wahala.... This year's cold is a babariga kerifi papa lolzzz...

you can plant any time of the year but don't expect a bumper harvest.
this harmattan hit me real hard

adeolaben:

If after digging the hole for transplant, can I add the chicken litter/manure and wet it very well with water .. leave it in the hole for 3-5days before transplanting the young seedlings?

Can I place the seedling directly on the soaked manure in the transplant hole and the cover with soil?

Won't the seedlings die if I do this for cucumber/pepper/tomato?

Please can you explain better how you go about your process of using chicken manure?

.
use dry manure and might with sand at a 50%-50% ratio before pouring it into the hole. you can plant immediately but make sure you wet it
