Very nice one Op. Would you mind giving us a list of start-up costs?

okay let us do it this way
sack farming materials and cost analysis

1. sack =#80 per dozen
2. soil(black soil,cow dump,top soil)@ ratio 3:1:1 price and quantity may varues,so no price,
3. seed =any high yielding hybrid variety is highly recommended = #4900 -#6500 depending on the state, company etc
4. fertilizer = apply every 5 days or 1 week. or check fertilizer application for a particular plant and the type of fertilizer needed for the plant.=#5000(npk 15:15:15 25kg)
5. pesticide= fighter 32 ec is good for killing pest, check for the types of plant to apply to and check manuals on how to apply. =#900(500ml)

*The sack should be fill half with the soil mixture
* 1 to 2 table spoon of npk
*sack should washed properly
*proper row spacing should be done
*string your cukes early with strong wood and ropes

please it is always good to follow the thread well before asking questions to avoid asking answered or similar questions, will add more later if i miss some points.thanks

Patini147:
How many stands per sack and how often do yu water it?

stands? you can water once a day from the day of sowing to when the will start flowering,then you can water them twice a day for better yield and fast growth. if you mean how many plant pn a sack ?well my test was a success only that 6 and 8 strive for more water and nutrient, does not grow well like 4 plant.okay let me say 4 will be okay.

Patini147:
Does sack drain properly when watered and what type of pesticide do yu use?

yeah it does especially when it is a loamy soil in the sack,well there is lots of good and less effective or dangerous pesticide in the market and some pesticides are mostly good on a particular vegetables, so i think you have to know what kind of plant or rather pest you are fighting against. but surely fighter 32 ec is good for killing pest and does not affect the plant. for more info refer to vanpeele

Really inspiring. Did visit someone who is growing butternut squash and courgettes with sacks. Courgette is of the same family with cucumber. The concept is all about the possibility of growing where hitherto seemed impossible. Seen a healthy looking sack farm set up on the decking of an uncompleted building. Even if ones lives in a premises where the ground is concreted.....all you need is a bag and passion!

thats the spirit bro.anywhere,any palace, any time as long as you have water and seed,fertlizer.wala

Pls from my research I learnt that I can use fish pond water as my manure, pls how true is this and more pls I need more enlightenment on this soil and manure composition.

well i have been using it for my experimental cucumber at home and it is quite doing okay, but it does not have the standard component fertilizer it has more nitrogen in it and your plants need phosphorus and potassium too, i used black soil, top soil and cow dump with the ratio of 3:1:1,then i add npk 15:15:15 every week 0r 5 days.

Liadi2:
Pls how did u mixed the cow dump, solid or liquid form or power form? And more so can I use poultry dump, pls did I also need to leave the dump for some days before I use it?

1.it should be in a solid form,to make the soil well drained and it helps the soil to retain water,2. Poultry dump is not good for sacks @ all cos its too salty for the plant 3. You just have to check whether it is dry and well decomposed enough if not you should dry it.

Pls tell the ratio of your soil, manure, ahes used and d type of manure used.

well my compost is black sand , top soil and cow dump with the ratio of 3:1:1 mine doesnt have ashe. Well black soil is a soil that has been burned with different kind of dirt and dump. So adding nutrient to it, so there no need to add ashe since its already been burned

This perfect sense in a place where the soil condition is not fit for planting.

good observation,and it retains water and consumes fertilizer adequately cos it doesn't escape the sack fast
