Again, some of your figures just seem way above what a 1 or 2 hectare drip irrigation set up should cost. You claim your borehole needs to be up to 100m deep. Is that because you wrongly assumed you would need 130000 litres per day? Also, most boreholes, even at 100m deep, will not yield that much water on a daily basis.
My borehole is 'only' about 45m deep, though I agree that every location is different.

And although I was advised that the output from the borehole would be average, so far we have been pumping about 10000 litres per day, everyday since early Nov., with no problems. The borehole pump cost around 50k I think and we've not had a single problem with it - may be that's just down to luck. Yes, we spend about 5k per week on petrol, but I don't understand why you should need N1.2 million pump, even if solar. I suspect your figures are so high because you over estimate your water/irrigation needs.

Finally, have you considered whether you have the capacity (labour, on-field experience, management & marketing experience) to farm 1 hectare of cucumber at a time. Can your market absorb that many cucumbers each harvest? In my case, my 1 hectare is divided into 6 sections & we plant on a rolling basis but rarely more than 2 - 3 sections at a time.

why do.women hate gay men? I don't know the problem of our modern day women nowadays with gay guys, if they(/women)/notice that you are gay, they will be the first to snitch on that guy, but if the guy toast them they will shout "no" .

I will not say you should not use what you want to use, but you will have too many leakages you will need to block. Or maybe topgit gum can help out. And as I pointed out earlier, this option is worse than pvc as it is more fragile. You are going to waste too much time perforating irregular emmitter holes on it. You may think it works after installation, but trust me...you will see how unwise your decision is when you eventually get drip. Buy 0.3 to 0.4mm drip thickness (leave out 0.2mm), buy connectors with valve, and make sure you have end caps. Since you are using borehole, no need to add filter. Leave out venturi fertigation kit as it is one of the worst accessories in drip. I hate it with passion. Ask your seller for other options.

If you cannot farm now, do not. Wait till you have everything intact. If I were you, I would wait till I have mulch too. After buying my drip, seeds and some other materials several years ago, I waited six good months to get other materials. No need to rush. Buy your equipment gradually. If your land rent is cheap, continie paying it till you are ready.

If your farm is near your home or in urban center, it is fine. But if it is far away, I think you should have gone for a land surrounded by enough water (not even an open well is ok). Even after paying for this land, i would not use it if i were you after reading this post, and returned both gen and sub pump. Instead of buying Submersible pump and generator, you could have bought gasoline in-line pump (mud pump). You are going to save the cost of fuel, and pressure will be extremely high. I have used the two and I know inline gasoline is the best for any farm. Those using residential borehole made a terrible choice. I will take it only if the farm is in urban center and logistics and conveniency override cost of running water pump. I have met someone who argued with me that land near river is bad cos it is flooded during rainy season, and I smiled. Another one fought me cos she believes river water carries pathogens, and i said ok. Two of them are yet to start cos ths cost of digging wells on their farm is extremely high, and they are financially comfortable. Now, they are in tight corner.They may deceive themselves thry are yet to start cos of another reason, but I know that is the main cause, and they hace not realised it yet until they waste so much money. They will need to buy many tanks, and still will not have enough water. I do not need to be told that fruits and veggies are failure (except they downsize drastically) and most of the land area will become useless. It is what will definitely happen to them.

I'm a cool guy, tall, dark skinned and i thank God to some extent am good looking, i can't stand some attitude from girls and i think this has cost me alot of babes, relationships and friendship.
The moment a girl say no to me i delete her number, i can't keep female friends because the moment you visit me i feel the urge to sex and am still managing life so i only hang out once in a while.
This attitude of mine most times leave me bored and lonely that to some extent i start looking for numbers of the ladies i deleted to call them again and apologize. For example if i meet a lady and we get talking and we cool i expect you to call me atleast flash, chat me up and it shouldn't be just the usual hi, yes, ok, k replies. I mean how do some guys keep asking a lady out for months?? I can't seriously especially when a lady feel herself so much and feel i can't do it without her, i just dump amd delete her to clear her doubts
This pride and anger has cost me alot and i don't know how to work on it, a babe am close to who always give me good sex came the other day and refused to allow me touch her, i got so angry when she left and deleted her number, infact sometimes i get so angry i say things to get this girls upset like insultive talks before deleting their number. The other day a lady begged me money i broke up with her because she started avoing me when i said i don't ve and then i deleted her number, is this normal and how do i work on myself to be a bit patient??
Anger, pride, intolerance i think i ve all this..
