hmm, these prices are high oo. I fit come set up for your side boss

All the people here that planted 999 f2 always complain of low production of fruits. If you have the money buy an F1. If you don't, manage F2.

So green like mine. How often do you apply manure?

too many male flowers

Farmerakinloye6:
it 7k-7.5k here.

How many cucumber in a bag

Farmerakinloye6:
I start harvest today, and for the first time I sold 10k per bag. I know someone will say "you can imagine having like 100 bags" it doesn't work like that! As we learn farming, let us learn how to understand our market!

Nice job


What variety is this

Farmerakinloye6:
am not a fan of foliar fertilizer, greengo f1.

Ok

How much for the seeds

orpeeh:
too many male flowers

F2 jorad

Cucumber is not that many today, normally I suppose to sell 8-7.5k but those that came to meet me are my customer, so i sold it at 7k.

Ok. Once flowering starts, i apply poultry manure weekly. 1-2 handful per plant. With this I harvest over 10x (I will try to get the exact number with the current batch).
.
Isnt there risk of leaching if you apply everythkng at once?

it will not leach sir. I like your approach just that I don't have the time (work load), it is true I will have more harvest if I can be doing that, but I have just two workers. I am thinking to put fertigator system in place next year.

Sir pls can I send a pm? I quoted you on your other thread of Cassava harvesting. I will like to interview you for a Pest and Disease management app I'm working on. You're really a sample of my target audience sir. I promise it won't take more than a 15 min WhatsApp chat.
