opes:


Sir, the manure must be very dry and the application must be at what distance from the plant? Any effect of this weekly manure application on bi-weekly usage of NPK? Thanks

.
My manure is usu mixed with sawdust. Wet or dry doesn't matter. I apply 5-7cm away from the plants. During harvest I apply manure or npk weekly. Sometimes both.

RabbitGuy:

Thanks

@ Farmtech do you also love it

.
Animals giving birth safely feels good of course. I'm planing to venture into grass eaters soon.

Yemighty2:
I am currently planning to do cu999 this week (1,300 plants)
My plan is to use
Urea after 15days
And Npk 10days interval till first harvest. I hope I can get up to 50bags or more.

Please kindly respond my bosses if I am doing d right thing.

.
If this is your first time pls start small. I will soon write a step by step guide that anyone can follow easily.

Chidiebubeoji:


Ok, I appreciate this a lot sir. Thank you.

So, with your rate of application (npk), how many bags of NPK did it take you to manage the 1005 stands?

Even at young stage, do you still use that same quantity per plant?

Yesterday was my harvest day, so I tried my luck again, after moving round the farm, unexpectedly, harvested another two bags. So officially 50bags.

Honestly, I thought it was over, cucumbers can really surprise you

Who knows, maybe I can still harvest something if I'm patient enough, already, I'm planning to clear them off for another project to commence.

.
About 1.5 bags.
I use little for young plants
Even when the leaves are diseased, so long as you fertilize well, spray and water u'll still harvest enof. They can try.

Chidiebubeoji:

Oga FarmTech. I gotta be totally honest
with my results
So, at 48½ bags, Plants are on the go.
I don't think I can still make it to 50 bags.
With our normal bagging style oh.

Although I have culprits to blame.

1. Didn't use up to 30ml npk you used

2. Rains were much and really heavy. So leaching was obvious.

3. Stopped applying fungicide as soon as I noticed plants didn't have much flowers coming up again. So I gave downy mildew the chance to start clearing up my farm for me.

4. I Didn't prune. I mean who doesn't prune cucumber during rainy season.
The branches became very compacted that you can hardly tell which is the main
Sterm.

Won't lie, I didn't reach optimal.
But I'm still impressed by the results at least for a beginner. So, as we go, we learn.


Last Last. I remove my hat. You are still the pro

.
Next time try and follow the steps I suggested. I think closer spacing can also ve a factor since I'm using 60cm.
.
No matter what, always apply a combo of funficide, insecticide and haifa. It helps a lot. Ibdo that every 4 days or so.

kurlz:


This is what we have tried in our house o. Infact any feed goes self starter or finisher. We rared rabbits for years, it was a family thing and in large quantity.

Anyways what did google say?

.
I will try it when I start rabbit farm.
.
Google said that poultry feed is too high in protein for rabbits. That rabbits don't digest protein well.

kurlz:


Starter. Then later finisher. With just small quantity and water they are okay. And it makes their infants grow so rapidly that you will be so surprised.

.
Thanks. Although Google is saying otherwise.

kurlz:
The best so far has been feed. As in chicken feeds, it works like magic, gives them rapid growth and prevents incessant urine. Tried and trusted. Besides they only consume little quantity so this saves you a lot of stress, you won't have to be entering forest every time all in the quest of finding your rabbits food.

.
Thanks for sharing. Which type dobu use? Broilers starter or finisher.

Judolisco:
chineke... Thanks

.
Why Chineke?

abikason:



I have someone who keeps the peels of watermelon for me,
In rare cases I pay as low as 200 to my aboki guys for unripe or spoilt balls of watermelon

.
Ok. Just that too much sugar is bad for them.

RabbitGuy:
Thanks FarmTech

I appreciate boss for pushing this to front page.

It has motivated me to put more serious and bring quality content to the naira land audience.

Thanks once again

.
Welcome and keep it up.

Judolisco:
any tips on fish farming... My fish stopped getting bigger dis year.. All d ones I sold last year wear very big I usually feed them for six months

.
I have never raised fish b4.

abikason:
My rabbits like watermelon 🍉 alot,
I will try these leaves today

.
Jow much watermelon do u feed them?

Kobojunkie:
I don't see carrots on your list. How come? Everybody knows from watching Disney that rabbits love carrots.

.
Actually anything high in sugar is bad for rabbits in large quantity, Including carrot.

RabbitGuy:
Which have you used to feed your rabbit?

FarmTech

.
For now I don't raise rabbits.

RabbitGuy:

.
This would have made front page if you had posted pictures of the leaves.

God1000:
communal crisis

.
Thanks.

opes:


Pls, what type(s) of fertilizer do you use and schedule of usage for each type. At what age should each type (fertilizer) be applied? Thanks

.
20 10 10. Manure in planting holes. After 3 weeks npk and manure . Then everry 2 weeks npk with manure sometimes.

I don't support this at all. Very soon they will completely bastardize Christianity like they've done with LGTBQ++.

I support things like this because evil shud not be ignored. But then how about the man that did ot with her? MODIFY: Someone that watched the video said the man was also paraded. That's gud.

God1000:
I'm heartbroken


My family survived the recent violence in oju, now this is another one

This is heartbreaking, such gory pictures

Why this bloodshed every now and then in Benue? Benue state used to be one of the most peaceful states in Nigeria

The federal government of Nigeria has failed the people of Benue state woefully in the area of security.

There's food crisis in Nigeria today because the food basket of the nation is bleeding.

From one crisis to another, oh my Benue

No civilized society will allow such unspeakable atrocities to continue, this is heart-rending.

.
This is serious. Was it communal crisis or bandits?

Very very good. Those senseless idiots.

She added that she believes someone poisoned her livestock.

The lady added that she has been doing work for 4 years and the highest number of livestock she lost was 10.

They complain of rain disturbing the market.

.

Seun:
I want to thank everyone who responded to this thread. I benefitted from your responses. Shadow died at night on the 6th of June.

During the night of the day I wrote this thread (Friday 2nd), the dog summoned the will power to get up and relieve himself. But that was the last time he ever walked. He had developed the most massive testicle infection that you could imagine. His legs were kind of dried up and limp. The hind legs were kind of black. Vet suggested atrophy but with the orchitis I figured it was some sort of infection. But his core was still strong

On Sunday 4th, he started making efforts to get up to relieve himself. Heartbreaking efforts. I could only clean him after he pissed/shit on himself. He was so weak that he couldn't bark but he made the most heartbreaking sounds. I broke. I asked my vet if he had an assistant who could help me take the dog to a clinic. He said no, that I should get a taxi. A dog that was messy. I did my ugly crying. 2nd time over a dog.

I resolved I'll just continue to take care of him with what I knew. He had stopped eating chicken so on Monday I just force fed him custard and gave him the same medications. Changed from vet-prescribed amoxicillin which clearly wasn't working. (Btw amoxicillin is trash.)

But by Monday the 5th, he started aggressively resisting my efforts to feed & pill him. He clenched his teeth so tight. I figured I would respect his decision. If he was going to die, I didn't need to make his last moments a struggle. I would give him peace. I started researching how I could take him out myself without causing any pain. I also wasn't going to let him go out struggling and fighting the vet and me the way Sloane went out.

So on Wednesday the 6th all I did was clean him up. There was food/water but he didn't eat/drink and I didn't force him. I noticed he started shivering & had some nasal discharge. I guessed that the infection was spreading. All I could do was pet him and apologize. I was already in bed that night when he started to breath heavily, then stopped. Then I heard farting sounds. When I woke up the next morning, he was gone.

If I ever have a dog again, it would be a tiny Papillon dog, and I will form a relationship with a vet clinic which has the capacity to conduct tests and base their treatments on the results of those tests. I'll also ensure he gets vaccinated for parvo & distemper and everything else. There's a part of me that allowed him to go because he was too big to handle alone and aggressive to my helper. He still bit him on Saturday the 3rd. 😆

.
Men sorry for your loss. I understand such pain too. In case of next time, try tube feeding the dog. It is far better than mouth feeding. Less stressful too. You can do it yourself if you watch some youtube videos.

Close northern and southern border and see how SE will starve to death. They think that war is fought by emotions. Anyway, that missile is probably fake photoshoped.

Never say never....
Well, we "can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us," Phillipians 4:13.
You CAN, but you just do NOT want to...lol.
Trust me I get it.
I think it's more of understanding the benefits of healthier options and then being willing to surrender other less healthy things that one loves and craves so much...especially when those "unheslthy" things are so readily available.
Thus the reason I was transparent about my struggles...
I just sometimes "want what I want"...and go and get it (being in a country where things are easily accessible)....only to beat myself up later knowing I should not have yielded to temptation.
Never thought I would let go of meat.....but by His grace.
I'll conquer this "vegan" battle finally--by His grace also

.
I understand. But I believe that meat in moderation isn't that bad if you increase plant-base diet.

Eviana:


You are correct. An innumerable amount of nutrients come from plants, nuts, seeds and grain though. I know "plant-based" may be weird or unheard of for many Nigerians....especially if meat is the desire. I get it. Who doesn't love meat? I'm just saying this for those who may be curious...

Permanent veganism has been my goal for a number of years now....i would label myself moreso of a vegetarian. There was a time where I was super strict about eliminating dairy...in addition to meat. The meat is not the issue for me. Certain "junk foods" are a struggle also and my carb of choice: white rice.
The struggle is very real though to permanently eliminate dairy from my diet.

.
Thanks. For me I don't think I can be vegan oo .

Dear sis, can't you see you are being manipulated!!
Can't you see it?

Sis, the devil is playing with your inheritance! 😭

He wants to collect your pride and pearls. He is playing with your authority!
Can't you see there's a problem somewhere??🙆

I don't know the lies that you have been fed with that's making you think this way. Making you feel like this whole thing called MODESTY, CHASTITY AND VIRTUOUS LIVING isn't worth it??

Haaaa😭. It is non -negotiable!

Come off it!
Come off those lies!!

You are being manipulated and deceived but thank you have come across this today.

Okay, now I have your attention.

You, the Royal daughter of the most high King who is meant to set the STANDARD FOR THE WORLD is trying to blend with the standards of the world!

Kill that idea that's building up inside of you to follow the world. Kill it!

Your identity is hid in Christ Jesus our Lord and not the world! Can we please come back home wandering and lost daughters?

Can we make our Father up there in Heaven proud once more?

His heart is bleeding!
Can he still find a representative of the kingdom? If everyone disappoints Him , will you also disappoint Him?

It takes grace to live for God in this perverse world I know, but His grace is always SUFFICIENT! It is sufficient!!

I don't know where you have missed it, but please retrace your steps back to God . The door of Mercy is still widely open.

Make your Father, THE KING OF KINGS proud once more!

You are the STANDARD FOR THE WORLD! NOT THE WORLD YOUR STANDARD!

Come back home!! DEAR ROYAL DAUGHTERS OF THE KINGDOM 💥

MODESTY IS GOLDEN🖤

Eviana:
My advice to folks: stop eating meat period.
The best way to go.....plant based foods.
Nigerians, please be extremely careful with GMO....
You guys need to be extremely careful.


P.S. MONSANTO
Be blessed...

.
Anyone that want to switch to plant-base foods shud do thorough research to avoid certain defficiencies.
.
Are you a vegan?
