Let's analyse your project cost.(1)₦7,000 for clearing is feasible on 2 plots, women labourers collect ₦1,200 day work our side now and 5 women will through clear 2 plots.(2)forget sack,you will use hole,@2000 holes in 2 plots × ₦5 for digging on hole=₦10,000.(3)30 bagco bags of pig / chicken manure will cover 2 plots,₦100 for 1 bag of pig manure =₦3,000+₦3,000 transportation.

Are you really sure that I don’t need sack cos I need a means that can save water for me pending when the rain starts well... What do you think and out of your wealth of experience... pls be my mentor- 07062342648

okoroemeka:
sack will not help you manage water,u my expect a sack to be more water efficient because the water cannot go out,it's wronng, sack uses far more water than planting on soil and if you plant 2 crops in a sack u will water twice daily,sack is not water efficient,I have planted on 500 sacks for 2 years and I know that as a fact.

But if I make Beds and plant on them, will that save more water than sack... Cos right now, my only means of iirigation is by bucket and water till I can afford a drip, probably next season

funsoul:
I agree with oga okoroemeka about using sacks on 2 plots. Since this is ur first time planting cucumber i would advice u start with a smaller no of sacks especially since u will water manually.
My first commercial foray into cucumber farming (did a pilot of 60 sacks at first) with 200 sacks (400 plants) was hectic having to water with bucket n bowl 2ce daily.
Starting small would also allow u 2 learn without burning ur fingers too much. From 200 sacks I was able to get 24 bags

Thank you very much; but what if I use like 500 sacks and I Water it with bucket and bowl

I do not think I have ever used terrible words like this on anyone. What I do is tell my view politely, though, it may be hard and tough, but not with direct insults. My kind of person tries to point out what I am unfamiliar with and brings out discussions from them. They can lead to debates which I do not think should end in insults. Check out the phrases or words I crossed out. Many Nigerians do not know how to argue without using direct insultive words. Emotion can take over, but a professional must learn to avoid using some words. You may express yourself explicitly such that the person you are addressing will get it right, and will not mess up with you again without using these kind of words. I think you will not get any job relating to diplomacy with these set of words.

I understand your zeal and passion but how you keep mentioning $ even when i chatted you still amazes me till date. Don't you really get it that some of us used to be engineers too at one time? And many of us had had high paid jobs or businesses, but our passion is Agric just like you. And the few of us who managed to be humble to learn found out that cucumber money can never be compared to oil and gas paying jobs. Chief! Sleep cannot stand death! I pray you get this cucumber right, then you will understand why those northerner friends of mine ship containers of cucumber all the way from Kaduna, Kano, Jos to Lagos. Also, that you see them in their simple native dresses with cool leather slippers hustling in the sun does not mean the suit wearing bankers or engineers in air conditioned offices worth more than their boys running errands. And then, you will realise that the so called job or business you cherish is nothing compared to Agriculture.

May God open your eyes of understanding in Jesus' name. This is not an insult but a prayer.

In addition, my prayer is that you grow to become a good farmer and then, you should be in my shoe. Well, you may handle the situation better, no saying you will not. But let us wait till then. Even when I was learning, I got many negative replies to my requests but I endured all. Today, when I looked back, I give kudos to some of the people cos I just try to imagine how many people played smart on their intelligence before I asked them questions. My prayer is that you become an expert soon and we will see how you will handle yourself.

Well, these kind of direct terrible words were what you gave me when I was the one who even was running after you trying to chat you then. My guess was that you felt I was one of those hungry consultants. Anyway, soft words and persistency get favor just like the story of the man who kept knocking the door for assistance in one of Jesus' parables. The same way you pushed me out of your chat is the same way you have pushed me out of your thread which I will obediently adhere to.

I just think it is a bad idea for you to make any report here because those crossed phrases and words of yours are enough to get you banned.

Finally, I am glad you have found good partners. It was my prayer for you. Sincerely, I pray you have bountiful harvest and may the good Lord make your business prosperous. Amen.

Keep following all my posts. Keep observing who I interact with. Keep reading every post of mine. Or maybe it is online stalking. Who knows? And keep passing judgements. I am happy that I am not irrelevant. But the truth is I do not even get to read any of your posts except I am mentioned.

Also, keep telling everyone you are super rich and you can afford to feed everyone. Keep doing all. Keep telling every farmer you meet you have the financial means to make them better if you partner with them. Just keep on doing all. Perhaps, it was the reason they always pretend to be nice and they run away later after making some free cash. You should ask yourself if this is ARROGANCY or not. (This is just a proverb here: That mad man in the street thinks everyone is mad, and he is the only sane person around. It is funny how he makes accusations first everytime.) And please come back online to show how arrogant someone else is again after reading this post of mine. Silence is the next strategy for such.

I leave in peace.

Hello Farmers.
I am a serving youth Corp member in Lagos and I’ll be passing out by November this year. I have always loved agriculture because I don’t want to work for anyone and all my life I have been independent.
I am here to seek best Advice on plans for my CUCUMBER farm.
I already have 2 plot of Land somewhere in Ijebu.

But the question is I have dis 80k I want to use and start my farm. Below is the estimate I have after discussing with a friend. But I’m here to seek more advice...

Whatsapp:- 07062342648

PLS LET NO ONE DISCOURAGE ME,

THANKS AS YOU INPUT YOUR MATURED ADVICE

okoroemeka:
Pls get the idea of sack farming on 2 plots out of your mind,sack is for small farm/garden,2 plots of well managed cucumbers is a big project

So what do you suggest sir

funsoul:
Do u intend to plant in sacks?
Do you intend to use d whole 2 plots?
What exactly do you mean by bags?
Be specific about your plans 4 irrigation
If you intend to use 2 cans u will need more than that cost of fertilizer (bag of npk would be around 6.5k at least except u can get it cheaper)

Yes. I intend using a whole 2 plots if my capital can cover it.

What I mean by bags is sack, I want to do sack farming so as to help manage water... Since I don’t have much for irrigation yet.

I’m yet to conclude on my plans for irrigation, but what’s ur advise based on the little capital I have.

Your advice on fertilizer has been duly noted,

Pls let’s chat on what’s so that I can know more about it- 07062342648

okoroemeka:
I will get you a more realistic estimate of what it will cost you to plant that 2 plots with cucumbers,but it will be tomorrow evening.

Okay sir...
I am still expecting the estimate sir... Thank you

A Nigerian man has just been freed from jail, where he spent 2 years over a false rapeaccusation made by his girlfriend’s parents who didn’t like him.
According to Harrison Gwamnishu, who shared the story online, it was alleged that the parents of the ex-inmate’s girlfriend, conspired with some police officers to accuse him of rape and got him locked up just to keep him away from their daughter.

[color=#006600][/color][b][/b] Corp member of the Ondo state NYSC Orientation camp wore a sack dress to their batch carnival which held last Saturday (1st of December 2018). The dress which was worn by members of platoon 7 caught the attention of all Corp members and spectators present.

Sack Bag dress is gradually turning into a well adopted dress style among the youths

The hall is actually fun... That Agagu hall is indeed a legendary hall

This is a trend for Ondo NYSC 2018 BATCH C STREAM 2; Just for the few days we’ve been on camp, I believe we have crying experiences to share...Kindly drop them here so that others will learn..

Anyways; I rep Agagu Hall; Platoon 7

He might not be a thief but he’s surrounded by many, “SHOW ME YOUR FRIEND AND I’LL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE”

Although, BUHARI is the most tribalistic leader iv ever known
