Chidimercy:
Please, suggest me the best country to travel to for a 2 weeks vacation to relax with my wife and <2 years old daughter between March and April. Budget 4,000 USD
I will recommend Punta Cana in the Caribbean (Dominican Republic). I was there few months ago and it turned out to be one of my best tourist destinations.
I think I will have to make a separate post about my DR trip

Did you finally rescue the dying habanero crop from last year? How did you do it? Or did you you lose them?
Those were bell peppers and unfortunately, we couldn't rescue all of them. That's one of the reasons we are planting in bags this year

I'm reaching out for advice from fellow farmers and agric experts. My healthy bell pepper plants have started to change color, shrink, and even die off. I'm not sure what's causing the problem.

Could it be due to heat, disease, pests, or something else? I'd greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to solve this problem. I'm not a happy man right now coz i was hoping to cash out this Christmas

For those who are looking for Malaysian Supergene nurseries, this is just 1 months old. It will be ready in March. The company i bought from in Enugu sent me this picture. If anyone's interested, they will help prepare the land for early planting.

I will release their number to interested persons but please do your own home work well before sending money to anyone you met online.

Harvest Day.

We harvested our Bell peppers and habanero peppers on Friday last week.

We will be harvesting again this Friday.

Harvest Day is truly a farmer's happiest day. Nurturing crops from seed to maturity is not an easy task.

With the success of this pilot project I'm now converting every empty land to a pepper farm. For example, there's this empty space in my sister's restaurant that I started clearing since Monday.

It's just one plot of land but going forward, we will get all our peppers, ugu, vegetables, water leaf, ukazi, uziza, bitter leaf and even tomatoes from that small parcel of land. From farm to fork

Here is a video of both bell pepper and habanero peppers on the open field.

With this heavy rain, you can judge by yourself if it's doing well or not.

Here are todays pictures. We will most likely harvest this weekend.

I did experiment with planting both habanero and Bell Peppers on the open field and surprisingly, they all survived.

So in my opinion there's no need wasting millions on a greenhouse if they can survive in an open field.
I will like the experts to share their opinions on this

okoroemeka:
your crops are super and it will be a sacrilege to leave such healthy and good crops to fate,it is not yet late to properly intervene,what I will advice is this,if you still have empty land clear out a portion that you feel will contain at least 30-40 percent of the habanero in the greenhouse,after clearing,dig holes that will be the width and bredth of a shovel blade and one foot deep at straight lines,give it 3 ft spacing in between holes,also each line will be spaced by 3-4 ft from the next you can use nylon twine to make it straight, apply manure inside each hole and turn with shovel.,the holes will serve to conserve water during the dry season,a good containment for manure, fertilizer and manual irrigated water and save stress of ridge making.
Next go inside the habanero green house after serious irrigation , use shovel to remove every next crop,,this will be done in the evening when the sun is down,they will first use the shovel and punch the four corners of the crop and dig in deep from one side,all the root mass will come up in a nice square shape intact,they will carry it outside with the shovel and placed inside the hole and watered,next morning it will be irrigated before sun comes,nothing will happen, to it,we even retransplant fruiting pepper crop,if you leave that habanero farm like that I am seeing it might be a serious problem that is easily still aviodable,and pls don't even think about pruning as an alternative it will make the crops triple or quadruple in size and grow so many extra stems and foliage that you might mistake your greenhouse farm to be the congo rain forest in a few months time
Thank you very much for providing this solution. I'm going to work on this immediately. God bless you

Yesterday, I mentioned that our pepper plants are experiencing abortions.
For those who don't know, in horticulture, 'abortion' refers to premature flower or fruit drop, which hinders plant development.

These are the common causes:
1. Insufficient pollination
2. Water stress
3. Nutrient deficiencies
4. Pests or diseases
5. Poor spacing

In our case, poor spacing is the cause, and the farm manager is to be blamed.

AgricultureRe: Greenhouse Farming In Nigeria: My Journey With Habanero Pepper & Bell Pepper by iykbethany(op): 7:40pm On Sep 24, 2024
This is today's photos and videos of our Bell Pepper and Habanero Pepper project. The
plants are doing alright. But we're facing a challenge with flower/fruit abortion, just like someone pointed out in the comments section.

Despite this setback, the plants' overall health looks good. We'll continue monitoring and adjusting our care strategies.

Any advice or insights from fellow gardeners / farmers are welcome.

I am interested in cultivating Malaysian supergene oil palm. What is the cost of a seedling, and how can I obtain at least 500 seedlings?
I mentioned all of this in the post. I bought from a company in Enugu @2,200 Naira.

The moderators will not like the idea of mentioning the company name and I also don't like to connect people to people to protect my name. If something goes wrong I will be blamed.

You can search online there are hundreds of people selling Malaysian Supergene oil palm seedling in Nigeria.

solacong:
this is massive, so technically speaking open field farming is the best?

Besides, I am learning stuff about farming, I intend to start something when I have the funds, can I reach out to learn about your greenhouse setup above?
Open-field farming is a more cost-effective in my opinion because greenhouse farming comes with a hefty price tag.

Also, greenhouses are typically used for cultivating exotic crops like habanero peppers and bell peppers. However, if we're talking about the common red pepper used in everyday cooking, then open-field farming is the more suitable and preferred method, and that's the approach the man in question is taking.

you can contact me anytime you want to learn anything about this greenhouse project. I'm more active on FB with the same username.

just the picture is enough for a farmer with 30 yrs experience,that seedlings is not more than 40 days old and the leaves are barely more than 30cm away from each other,it is ok if it is bell pepper due to their smaller non branching size,but for habanero,it will be a very tight spacing,I am just saying from experience,we are currently seeing such problems at a similar client farm in owerri,they followed goggle farm recommendation of 50cm by 60cm spacing it was a disaster
That's why we are all here brother man, to learn. This is a pilot project so mistake is inevitable but they will be corrected when we go into mass production.

I recently met someone who relocated from Europe a few years ago to start farming. He said he has made over 80million Naira from pepper and tomatoes this year. The normal pepper, so he used open fields. Its more economical instead of spending millions on greenhouses. He sees greenhouse and exotic pepper farming as waste of time and money. His pepper farm in river state has generators and 7 boreholes. Massive farm.

I'm currently studying his template.

very impressive work,I hope you are not using that spacing I am seeing for habanero,it is good for bell peppers but habaneros is a different ball game,that spacing will reduces the total yield and production of habanero by 50-60%
My manager used the same spacing. He said we can expect the same yield gotten from 10x50 to be the same with 10x30.

The guy is a uniport student who has managed some other farms before we recruited him, so I believe him.

Since you are an expert I also believe you but even if the spacing is wrong I don't want to stress myself thinking about it, I'm already going through alot. I nor wan get High blood pressure bro.

This is a pilot project bros, and I expect some mistakes here and there, and that's why I'm documenting everything.

This aluu project is not that big, our main farm is in imo state where we have over 100 farmland dedicated to different cashcrops Oil palm, banana, plantain, cassava, yam, maize, cucumbers, pineapples, etc.

We are experimenting with pepper and tomatoes this year, and by next year, we hope to go into large-scale farming of these two if we have the funds.

This is what they looked like as at 2 days ago.

PoliticsImo State Deserves Better: The Real Problem Isn’t Tribalism, It’s Bad Leadership by iykbethany(op): 12:42pm On Aug 23, 2024
A local government chairman in Lagos state built and commissioned these beautiful 170 units of 3 bedroom apartments last week.

This follows his achievement from last year, when he built and launched 101 two-bedroom flats in this same LGA.

But in my dear Imo state, one man is pocketing our LG allocations and no one is talking. For example, my local government receives over 140 Million Naira every month from the Federal government but go round the state there's no school, road or health centre constructed in any local government in imo state within the last 5 years. Not even a pit toilet.

Over the past two years, I've traveled across nearly all the senatorial zones in Imo State, from Mbano to Mbaise, Orlu, Ikeduru, Mbaitolu, Ohaji, Okigwe, and beyond. Unfortunately, I haven't come across a single project completed in any of the LGAs. Most of the roads in the LGA's are in terrible condition, practically impassable. Apart from the three federal roads currently being reconstructed—Okigwe, Orlu, and Mbaise Road, I haven't seen any other road projects in any LGA across Imo State.

Imo state allocations has increased more than 40% under Tinubu, yet there's nothing to show for it.

Owerri used to be a top tourist destination but currently most people are scared of visiting Owerri and many businesses have relocated. I relocated some of my businesses from Owerri to other states because of insecurity.

It's disheartening to see the stark contrast in local governance between Lagos and Imo states. In Lagos state, local government chairmen are in serious competition. Over there LGA chairmen build schools, health centres, roads bridges, etc, but in the East, the state governors pocket LGA allocations and the citizens are not talking.

Dear Igbo youths, the root cause of our problem lies with our Igbo representatives - from house assembly members to senators and governors.

After looting our commonwealth, they tell their followers that our problem is Hausa, Fulani or Yoruba which is absolute rubbishh.

I don't have any issues with any tribe, Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba, or anyone else. My problem is with bad politicians because if our senators and governors are doing their jobs nobody will even remember FG or Abuja.

I urge Igbo citizens to demand accountability and transparency from our leaders.

Let's all shun tribalism and demand for transparency and accountability. Ndewonu
