saliubello:
will respond with a picture shortly. Ask the other vendor the dimensions of the seedtray and compare with this.
This is 36cm x 56cm; 13 × 8 holes, 4cm x 4cm cell.
I have read a thread that is selling at #800 in NL, 105/128 holes in size (35mm, 35mm, 45mm) i also have a contact from Owerri that is selling at #350 but i have not received the size of that one.

Hello op, I'm really inspired by your work, I'm also about to start planting ugu I. E the fluted pumpkin and maize on one acre of land, I won't be dividing my ugu seeds like you because it's my first time. Pls can you give me some tips you think I would need? Thanks in anticipation
I will suggest that you start with a plot of land as a beginner, master few techniques before expanding to one acre.

what chemical chases snakes away?
Buy enough bitter cola and drop it at the suspected spot or spread it around the farmland. Goodbye to Mr. Snakes

I also have this maize garden in front of the house.

The ropes are thatched together to keep off goats.

The maize is a week old.


6 were affected by the disease on the leaves below, so i uprooted the 6 and planted another 6 on the heap i uprooted the affected once from.
This ur soil will require manure to do well..
AgricultureRe: How To Get Four Ugu Plants From One Seed- Steps With Pictures by Ndbc(m): 6:53pm On Jun 04, 2017
Agritech:
Fresh manure would scorch the roots and kill them. You would have to wait for at a month.

To compost manure follow this step.

1. Get fresh manure
2. Heap it and add lots of water. Mix them with the water.
3. Cover with black polythene.
4. After two weeks, use a shovel to turn it, so the part under would now be on top.
5.add water again, then cover with the black polythene.
6. After another 2 weeks, it would be ready for use. It would not have any smell , just like charcoal smell.

You can use it to grow any vegetables with out fear of harming them.
is it chicken droppings manure or kitchen scraps compost ?

Everyone keeps saying boil, but I prefer to grind mine and ferment for about 24hours before use. I believe it keeps all active ingredients intact (Not proven, just my assumption. I could be wrong though)
Copy that..

Day 50 ...continuation

Since I opted for organic garden (though I once used synthetic fertilizer 'urea' on the Corns), my cucumber needs to be treated too organically.

Time to make more neem leaves/fruits/seed blend and a half tea spoon of baking soda plus vegetable oil.

This will be my cucumber plant insecticide for next few weeks. Already seeing traces of green worms attack. angry angry angry

Note: I have come to this understanding, you can't run away from plant disease/pests. You must surely come to terms with this. So prepare yourself adequately else, every effort will go to waste.
Do you boil the neem leaves and seed or just ferment it ?

Haaaaa!!! Woah!!! That's a bit to much for that jar, and moreover, you were supposed to cut from a stem with about four leaves from a newly budding stem as indicated in the pictures. I hope you do get a positive result all the same.
That's mine own trial.. let's do it now and find out what will be the result

Day 46 (caterpillar worms infestation)

Caterpillars, also referred to as worms, are the immature life stage of butterflies and moths. Most of the caterpillars that are pests of vegetable crops are moth caterpillars. Woke up this morning just to see the damage this beautiful creatures have done to my Lagos spinach plants. Gussssh!!! Every Gardeners/farmers nightmare!!!

Since I have made up my mind to go organic as much as possible, and also make do with home made insecticides, time to make neem leaf solution with a little addition of soap.
I had to hand pick as much as possible (not an option for a large size farm. Mine is just a small garden)
I'm just coming back from my farm and the damage that was done by some tiny yellow pest on my Ugu and Okra is heartbreaking, time to look for neem leaves seriously and i also noticed a sign of disease within the pumpkin leaf, i forgot to take some pics out of annoyance. angry

Did you put all in a single jar ?

Finally, exactly 11days after, desired rooting system have been gotten. Patience pays after all, it's time to transplant my basil into proper nursing pots (bags).

3. Presence of Lots of Organic Matter

Organic matter are plant and animal materials in different stages of decomposition. Organic matter are store houses of plant nutrients and they are excellent soil amendments.

Organic matter (particularly humus) is responsible for the dark color of fertile soil.
I think mine is both the Living and the Dead.

So far so good.
I stocked on 1st march. They became one month on 30th march.
They have eaten 2kg of 1.8mm. I introduced 2mm of durante this morning. I noticed 2mm is floats more than 1.8mm. Its also darker in color. This means no more wastes from sinking and over feeding. My fish are growing in size except for one runt . ajebo dey worry am. The runt doesn't compete for food. Even when food is floating close to it, it will still be doing shakara. There is no how d runt will pick d 2mm . DT means hunger go kill am.

No more death recorded [/quote

2kg.. How many re they in number?
