₦airaland Forum

Good evening,
I have started preparations for the dry season vegetable farming.

I will like to use this thread as my update line.

Pictures will follow through.

1. The Plan :
The plan is to plant ugu seeds in the swamp between now and November ending, then start selling by first week of January down till 2nd week of June.
Only leaf will be sold as it is swamp farming, because by the time it will be ready for seed production, the rain might have taken over part of the swamp. A normal swamp is only dry for at most 6 months.
But know one thing, you would have made enough money to compensate for seeds.
One reason I am going to the swamp is because of irrigation cost. For me setting up boreholes on upland is a bit expensive and labour intensive especially on a short time rented land. But swamp farming makes it all easy. Just dig gutter inside the swamp in case of flash flood which is dependent on area.
Part of the swamp that is a bit dry has been cleared while seeds has also been planted waiting patiently for germination by God's grace.
While some ugu seeds will be planted in nursery bags and transplanted as the water recede from the swamp surface.
The maximum time to transplant ugu from a pure water sachet seedling bag is 21days- this is from my personal experience and research.
I plan to plant 2seeds per hole with a maximum spacing of 3ft.

More info to come as the journey progresses by God's Grace.

Dear saliu,
I am going into dry season farming this year. Please confirm the full requirements and current price if possible for 1 acre veggie farm full drip kits. Do you have 1ft / 2ft drip tape.

Also I will like you to advise on what items is expected of the farmer on the site before a drip tape can be successfully installed. I know of borehole and pump, generator, what are the others.

Emmanuel, This particular seed is what you have?? If yes,

@Adlac, I wish I could sell ugu in paint buckets but I may end up looking as if I cheated the buyer.

For me, as a person that understand what investment of hard earned money is, i will advise you do not buy your seeds in measurement buckets online except you are physically where the pods will be broken and measured.

I have once been a victim of this on this forum ( check my posts for the complaints) and I will not want to do this to others.

It is either the measurements are not complete or only big ugu seeds are selected to fill up the bucket, etc

So it's an advise to all.

The money is too small. Lekki transport alone will finish the money.

Though the money is small, it's an opportunity to spring up and look for other opportunities.

Please this vacancy is still available. Two more people needed.

Petyr1:
how much for transporting to Lagos

@petyr1 , it depends on the quantity of ugu seeds you are buying. If it is a handy quantity of at most one semolina bag which is like 1500 seeds, you will pay around #1000 to #1,500. But nevertheless this one that will come in this weekend is majorly owned by me so I am not sharing transport cost with other mini buyers. The variety is what is more important to me right now.

Obatobi1:
Did you consider the plastic mulch, the cost of seeds (I used hybrid seeds), the cost of the nursery (seedling tray, cocoa peat, nursery house construction) and a host of other expenses that could be very difficult to account for.....not forgetting wages of worker. I can tell you the expenses is more than what is mentioned earlier

Dear readers,

I must commend the OP for taking a very bold step considering this is like his first major project.
There is always a trade-off between getting things right and profitability. I would prefer the OP way of getting things right first and later talk of profitability in subsequent projects. But from my observation, the OP has done the needful especially in terms of mulching which most farmers usually overlook.
I will like to advise fellow farmers to also implement this mulching technique. I will also try it in my dry season ugu farm as it will go a long way in surface water conservation in my swamp farming.
I wish the OP a bountiful harvest.
Emmanuel.

Mide3367:
ugu powder for what? And for transport, he should go to transport company garage and send via waybill.

I never also believed in making ugu powder until I started doing my research on how to preserve veggie during glut, which led me to a malaysian woman that farms ugu and other african veggies in Malaysia. She supplies ugu powder to american clients in kg and gets paid bountifully. She said it is used for babies, pregnant women, old people's home, hospitals and breastfeeding animals in Asia and the US and will just be added like powdered milk to to oats and feed. She taught me the recipe but am yet to do it. I will update the house once I start the project cos am also looking at the general acceptance over here. She even sent me pics, but i dey save am for later.

Don't mind me bro, Looking for a cheaper and reliable way to bring my seeds into lagos. Waybill is very expensive nowadays though bringing some in by next week.
