Nigeria better repent oo. Churches shud start preaching the truth about sin and leave all these "You are blessed, ur enemies will die by fire, child of God, ask God whatever u want he will answer u". Many sinners have been psyched by pastors into believing that they are born agains when they're not. Ladies dress half naked to church and pastors won't preach against it. Rather they will allow them to lead in music. All these and many others will eventually bring down God's anger on Nigeria.

In order of production

Super Habanero F1 - the fruits are as big or slightly bigger than Avenir ( I have not tasted it yet so i cant tell how hot it is ).
Avenir F1
Efia
Piquante red is not fruiting yet, we transplanted that late.

We did not prune any of the peppers. Super Habanero F1 and Avenir F1 are very busy, Efia is less busy.

There were some moralities of healthy plants. They just dried off. I chatted @okoroemeka, who was very helpful in recommending a copper based fungicide. I used this along side making some changes in the farm.
We increased the irrigation period from 3 hours to 6 hours, based on the intensity of the sun. The plants were healthy and the mortality stopped.
Some weeks later we noticed another one and after investigating it shows signs of Nematode, so we applied Velum (a nameticide).

All has been good since then.
I have not been to the farm in 2weeks + now cos of this lagos lockdown. I only monitor remotely.
.
Try and prune out all those leaves that are close to the ground. It will aid air circulation and prevents fungi diseases. Rainy season is coming.
.
How much did you bought the velum? And how many liter/gram is it.

If u are finding it difficult uploading pictures, reduce the file size . Maximum file size for pictures is 4MB.

can I plant pepper on the same land I previously used for tomato?
.
Not advisable because they are from the same family. Which means that they share a lot of pests and diseases 2gether. There are root diseases that can badly affect ur plant and treating the soil may be very costly for you. So best option is to divide ur farm and rotate different crops in each section.

, which one is two weeks here, I said we water every fourth night which literally means every 4 days.

U made a mistake in spelling fourth. U used: fortnight

/ˈfɔːtnʌɪt/

noun

a period of two weeks.

4 to 10 acres hmmm, that is a huge project. Hope you have market for that because in rainy season there is always glut. I learnt by April, may the price of seed can go as high as #10 to #12k. Ugu is doing very fine though this harsh weather really dealt with it upon we water every fortnight.
.
u mean u water every 2 wks? That's too infrequent now. Evry 3-4 days would be OK. The little I planted is watered evry 2 days and they look very dark and fresh - just as if it is in the rainy season.

Your mouth is running but where you going?

You see your forum is even built on WordPress. No great site is built with WordPress.

Moreover, it does not comply with industry standard (mobile first).

When we call price you start to argue.
You still have so much work to do.
.
Is mybb built on WordPress? There are lots of successful forums that uses mybb - forums that are even more popular than NL. One of the best forum s/w is Xenforo and it cost about N58k. Why would someone choose NL-like forum over xenforo? My advice to interested people is this: Don't spend ur cash on forum s/w bc it will never make ur forum popular. Rather, spend it on promotion.

Sure if you check my earlier message that is the first thing I did, burn fire of the portion used for the nursery bed.

But some do experience RKN despite burning the portion to be used for the nursery what do you think is the cause
.
Maybe the soil did not get hot enof bc they did not use enof dry grass. If the heat did not penetrate deep enof, the unheated parts will soon reinfect the heated parts

The farm was solarized after it was burnt with fire.

I guess that should suffice. I welcome any other method as well.

Thanks

Ok. But the nursery bed shud be specially treated by piling up dry grass on it and burning. U don't want to nurse plants for weeks and later find out that they have root knot nematodes or so.

@ Okoroemeka. I hope u know about biogas. That slurry from it is very rich in soluble nutrients because anaerobic fermentation can extract lots of nutrients from manure. If u expose it to air for 1 or 2 weeks you can use it safely. It will give much better result than manure soak.

Imagine there's no heaven

Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

U are quite a dreamy. Human nature is naturally evil. What will happen when people live just for 2day? They will enjoy themselves with sex, masturbatn, drinking and gluttony. Social vices will sky rocket and evil will be everywhere. U may understand what I mean when God finally take Christianity away from this world.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13 New Living Translation (NLT)

When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people.

Samuel, Joseph, Daniel, etc were Youths that fulfilled their original destinies because they flee lustful thoughts, lustful deeds and sexual demons, they shall be forever celebrated even by Generations yet unborn. It's good to know that most Christians are now becoming more wiser and no more ignorants of devices/deception of conscious and unconscious agents of darkness on nairaland propergating lust and immorality, deceiving youths that they cannot be normal without Sex. I clicked usernames of most of the Critics here and I discovered that they are real demonic people that hate the fact their their strategy is being exposed here.

Thanks for exposing all these agents of darkness. People are getting more and more immoral. I blame the entertainment industry, pastors that can not preach about sin in details, parents etc. The road to heaven is quite narrow.

I love God. And his son Jesus. Don't be intimidated by all the holier than though around you. E get one wey dey always quote me if I talk about punna, telling me I'll be judged, Hehehe, deputies of Jesus. Mind none of them. For no one still knows how the father allows people into heaven. None. The virgins only had lamps and oils. Them no say them fine or them wear one kind cloth. They only said they didn't have oil. Oil which is belief. For even of oil finish, and them wait, the bride groom for still carry them along.
Point is, don't be deterred, just believe in him, and you're good. For he said seek ye first the kingdom of God.......
Love Jesus. That's all.

I have discovered that making things simpler tends to work very well,we have an old canoe paddle we use to turn the manure several times a day to vent off gases and also oxygenate the concoction,and I will bet my pot of fresh egusi soup that it will work better than the oxygen pump with electricity problems,things are best reduced to the simplest factor for efficient production.

it has already worked,two cardinal rules are fine filteration and we also double the filter on the fertigation hose,and also flushing the whole system with fresh water so the ocm will not dry and clog up the emitters,we have already used it 5 times and no problem yet,the multi k is #19,000 naira for 25 kg bag.this is the type we are using.we are now planning to move the ocm fertigation to the next level,we will use 2000 ltr tank with 20 bags of chicken manure soaked for everyday ocm fertigation now the crops are fruiting.
.
I'm happy to hear that. But to be very sure, try it more times.
.
Apart from multi K, do they have other nutrients?
.
There is one precaution I'll like u to note. When u soak manure in water, it can go anaerobic if enof oxygen can not dissolve into the water. And when this happens, anaerobic microbes will grow and produce chemicals that are toxic to plants. Soaking small quantity of manure will not cause this problem because oxygen can easily diffuse into the solution. But with something as big as 2000L? That's a different story. I got this info while reading about compost teas. So I think u may need a kind of air pump that is powerful enof to oxygenate the solution.
