not that cabbage likes rain like rice,but it loves the cool weather that comes with the rainy season,the major issue I see in cabbage farming is bolting,if the temperature steps into the 30c range is a problem,but now we are having average mean temperature in the 20c and issa goal.

.
Ok thanks.

okoroemeka:
if you are doing 1 acre and needs like 10 tons of manure,what type of bin do you think can contain 10 tons or how do you turn such quantities around,pls let's be practical and face realistic ideas that are feasible,how manure is composted on a large scale is by pouring it outside for the weather and time to complete the process,the system we use of soaking manure in water for some days before using is our own niche idea that works for us and speeds up the composting process,it's is only meant to be used by experienced farmers ,use it at your own risk.

.
For me, I just bury the manure in a furrow I make on the ridge. Then i plant after 2 weeks.

Slacker889dad:
I don't really see it improving the lives of our fellow Nigerians. I will want to urge all parents and guardians to be on their guard and guide their children and wards right on what they watch on TV. I think the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission should, without delay, stop this program if this government means business in the promotion of our cultural values.

U're among the few that understand the consequencies. Morality is dying.

chigoziri2403:
my brother, go and watch the show, ND stop saying what you do not know, you are ignorant

.
When the time comes, we shall know who is ignorant. But I will still advice u not to play with God's grace.

DeLaRue:
I personally stopped new cucumber planting a couple of weeks ago, but that's because September is the worst time for persistent rain in my area. I fear DM will be particularly problematic then. I have moved to cabbage for now.

However, it's a personal decision. If you're ready to battle DM, you don't have to stop planting. Start applying fungicide early and stick to a spraying rota religiously. This should help you to manage DM and lead to a fruitful harvest. Go back a few pages and read Mr Okoroemeka's spraying recommendation.

Finally, you should be selling the cucumbers your DM infested plants are producing. They're good to eat. Just make sure to pack only straight & perfectly formed ones as market women usually will not accept badly shaped cucumbers. In my experience, DM result in a lot of badly shaped cucumbers.

.
Pls, does cabbage like rain? How easy is it to grow?

okoroemeka:
if the nursery is done outdoors in this constant rain and damp conditions,yet to germinate after 12 days,I think the seeds has already rotten in the soil,from a good nursery you will see germination from 5 days and the whole process will finish in 7-10 days,in weather like this it's best to find container or old basin,do the nursery inside and keep it indoors were the temperature will be higher to speed up germination.if sun comes out it can be brought outside and if rain comes then it goes inside and you water it yourself.

.
I once had this problem during rainy season outdoors. I solved it by spraying an insecticide on the covered seeds and covering them with dry grass or palm frond. There are soil insects that attack seeds during germination and u'll notice some of them dead. That was for cheap pepper seeds. But for costly ones, I would rather do the nursery indoors to avoid story.

chigoziri2403:
so everyone who watches bbnaija commits fornication? Are thieves and rapists,

.
No, but they are potential fornicators, thieves, rapists etc. They are under satan's control and he will use them when he pleases. Also remember that a man commits adultery in his heart when he lust after a woman. Generally, lust is sinful b4 God and bbnaija can hav that effect on viewers.

femi4:
Now, you are sounding dumb! For three straight years from 2014, no bbn/bba yet Nigeria went into recession, kidnappers, bombers and robbers were having a filled day.

.
Before bbnaija, sexual immorality was existing - porn, blue films, celebrities etc. What i am saying is that we shud redeem the time for the days are evil. Let's nt add to our problems.

jesmond3945:
is your call man. I am done with pastors. They are very selfish. They might have been called by God but now they have left their calling.

.
No matter hw bad, there are still gud ones. They must hav done sth very bad to u.

okoroemeka:
you could have saved yourself unnecessary stress by putting organic manure first before sowing, spraying chemicals on young plants is not always a good idea,you can still amend the nursery by using pig manure dissolved in water for at least 3 days and poured on the nursery,after that use knapsack filled with water to wash the seedlings leafs.i said pig manure for a reason,if you use chicken manure it may not end well.

.
I think this is risky. Because if a manure solution goes anaerobic, it will harm plants. I will suggest he make a furrow on 1 or 2 sides of the ridge, fill them with pig manure or well deconposed poultry manure and cover with soil.

DeLaRue:
In addition to what Mr Okoroemeka said:

1. rain gun will splash water all over the cucumber plant thus increasing the likelihood of disease.

2. drip tape uses between 80 - 90% less water compared to watering with rain gun.

3. during harmattan, from leaving the rain gun to landing on the soil, up to 20% of the water could be lost to evaporation.

Unless you absolutely have no choice, drip irrigation is superior to rain gun in cucumber farming.

.
Thanks. I was considering raingun because of whitefly problem.

okoroemeka:
the weight of the water coming down is too heavy not dispersed and shower like rain,it knocks young cucumbers off the nylon ropes,breaks tender stems,strips flowers from crops,even cause erosion.i don't know if we didn't set the nozzle properly but we engaged the services of several techs and still same outcome.simply go and get drip irrigation and save yourself unnecessary headache.

.
What size of raingun did u use? I usually thought that breaker that ''slaps' the water repeatedly will effectively break the droplet size.

chigoziri2403:
it is not only about food, everything character etc

.
Food goes to the stomach. Porn, dirty misics and jokes goes to the heart. And after they have hatched, they bring forth fornication, rape, theft, murder etc through character.

femi4:
Ignorant! Is porn not available on the internet freely ?
A rapist is a pervert with wrong sexual orientation, the show has no link with robbery and kidnapping. The state of the nation's economy give birth to the high rate of robbery and kidnapping we are having today.

How ignorant is " Sexual immorality comes with a full package of rape, cultism, arm robbery, kidbapping etc."? How can the economy be gud when it is being handled by ungodly people? Bbnaija will indirectly give birth to rapists and criminals. People cant see it that way because of the indirect effect. That is why govts will waste time and money tackling insecurity while ignoring those things that leads to insecurity. If every family shud raise godly children, there will be nothing like theft, rape etc.
.
The internet has a bad side. I know that. But why add bbnaija to it? We not solve old problems rather than adding new ones?

jesmond3945:
we are better now. Only Jesus. I dont believe in any pastor, most of them are fake.

.
I still believe there are good ones among them. By their fruits u shall know them. I don't trust those ones that will shy aware from emphasing sins like immodesty, dirty musics, useless celebrities etc.

Atiku:
Can we argue that bbnaija has improved the lives of a few Nigerians?

. In a way that is pleasing to Christ?

Yampotatocarrot:
Okay, thanks for this. I think I'll just settle with only Red/Zforce jare, make e no go become stories that touches the heart

.
U can mix 2 pesticides if they are compatible. That is, if they wont react 2gether. I have mixed mancozeb and hexaconazole. But test first with small qty to see if they react.

okoroemeka:
WhatsApp 08119942049 for more info,,pls remove rain gun from your shopping list ,drip is best for cucumbers and that deep jungle,ha,you need access road to move materials,

.
Hello Okoro. what will raingun do to cukes? Because i plan buying one.

Nostradamus:
if you don't like BBN,go watch Emmanueltv,abi supersports abi Tvc abi discovery channel respect those who do and stop trying to find faults in others because they don't live like you. We all have what interests us,multichoice knows this and that's why they provide a variety of channels on your dstv,if you don't like one program(in this case bbn-i don't like watching it too,i find it somehow boring)kindly move to the next channel.



I won't be surprised if later in the future,you come and ask the government to ban internet in Nigeria because some people are watching pornhub on it.

.
I am one of Christ's representative on earth. If I see evil, I expose it so that those who have ears will hear. When people's choice is satanic, I dont respect it.

chigoziri2403:
how is it evil, we have the right to choose, it's not what what enters into a man that makes him, but what comes out of him

.
Dont abuse bible quotations. The bible was talking about food which enters the stomach and not satanic ideas which enters the soul.
Mark 7:18
" 18 And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23
All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” "

Do you need further explanation?

Paroh:
Are you alright I specifically said immoral but not illegal. Of course in your haste to reply you couldn't be bothered to read. And how do you know i believe in your god ?

.
Immoral soon lead to illegal. But people like to tackle problems and not causes of the problem. If u're an atheist, thank God for this opportunity and repent. You're still living.

femi4:
The show is rated 18, not available to local stations. Besides, they commited no crime. You can't compare it to criminal activities like terrorism etc

.
Sexual immorality comes with a full package of rape, cultism, arm robbery, kidbapping etc. Maybe u don't know what people can do just to maintain their 'babes'. Lets tell ourselves the simple truth. 18+ means nothing. 2day we see old men raping 3yrs old. If u open ur mind to sexual immorality, satan will use u no matter ur age.

jesmond3945:
thats the last thing i will do.

.
Who will u run to then? If a problem big pass u, seek advice from wise people. Don't let her destroy ur children. Mothers of nowadays will dress their daughters like prostitutes and allow all sort wof evil. It is the entertainment industry that have corrupted them.

cuteralph101:
for those that are atheist and agnostic? My brother let anyone do whatever he wants. 85% of people castigating the show do worse in their closet.

.
How quick people like u are to judge. U even tag it 85%. But the truth is that, people who commit secret sins can hardly criticise evil as I'm doing here. They will rather let it sleep.
.
For atheist and agnostics I say: repent now u have the chance. There will be no repentance in the grave. you're joking if u think u have a choice.

peggywebbs:
Op, please sell your television if it will make you sin. You can't impose your beliefs or morals on people. We are free as individuals to watch what we want. We pay our dstv subscription not for your own ideas. If at your age, you can categorically say 18+ can be corrupted, then you seriously have issues

.
I cant force my morals on others. I can only try to persuade and inform. If you don't repent from ur sins, judgement awaits you. Whether u believe in God or not.
.

What do u mean by corruption? If u recheck the definition u will see how wrong u are. So 18+ cannot be misled into cultism, prostitution, rape and co? Rethink.

Daxbiz:
You will not face your government to govern you well and provide opportunities for the teeming youth.

The countries that "sin" more than you are very prosperous.

God is not angry at America for their "sinful" ways

God is not vexed at the Swiss who have "public bus stops" for people to have sex

God is not even angry at countries who promote homosexuality

Dey there dey shout "satanic" up and down.

Don't go and hold your leaders accountable.

Shalom.

.
Those countries u mentioned do u think they don't have their own avoidable painful headaches? God's judgement is still coming. So don't conclude yet.
.
Holding our govt accountable is a good thing I support. But in this thread my focus is bbnaija and I wont deviate.

dingbang:
All these Christians sef, I don't even know if they really read and understand their bible. Was it not written that in these times, immoral things would be the order of the day? It's all part of the working plan of how events would turn out to be. There is no need fighting what you have no power against.

.
If u study (not just read) the bible well, you'll know that the bible tell us to redeem the time for the days are evil, to pull people out of sin, to preach the gospel in season and out of season. Keeping quiet in the face of evil is itself evil.

Nostradamus:
LMFAO!!!!



@o.p,if you don't like the show,you can go watch another channel.like me now, I don't watch bbn but i don't rub it in people's faces.i respect those who do for their choice.

. If so then u're nt a christian (i.e. if u claim u are). A christian will not see people falling into sin and respect their choice.

Hyerin:
Nobody forced you to watch simple and short. Bbnaija isn't even bad like people make it to be and besides its rated 18 abeg let's hear word.

.
Nudity isn't bad? What will ur children gain from it? 18+ rating does not mean children dont watch it. Whether children or adult, it is bad. Anything that create lust in u is bad.

Liscolite1:
They are coming for you....I don't see anything reasonable about the show 2...the government is happy with anything that will shift d people's focus away from their bad governance especially d youths....lastly you can block d channel we are in a democracy

.
I am preaching the gospel. It is better to criticize evil than to keep quiet.

Atiku:
You see bbnaija as an instrument but you don't see the internet that allowed you to click a link as a tool as well. Please explain that to me. Help my faith.

.
I dont understand wot u mean. I never talk about the internet and if I shud, I'll say the internet hav a good and bad side which do not mix 2gether. For eg, I use the internet to gain knowledge about bible verses, agriculture, science and tech etc. But some people use it to search for sex partners, porn, yahoo yahoo etc.

Paroh:
I only love BBNaija because it gives me a platform to advertise my product. I personally cannot see myself watching it but we don't have to dictate to people what they should or shouldn't do with their lives.

BTW Nairalanders it's my birthday today. Please patronize my business. See my signature. How many likes can birthday girl get

.
Are u against persuading people not to become cultists, prostitutes, kidnappers etc? That it is ur live does not mean u are the owner. God is. And He has told us how to live our lives in his word. Sexual immorality and dirty jokes are sinful and shud be condemned.
.
If u see evil as an opportunity to do bizness, u better repent. I u promote a sin you'll become part of it.
