Thanks a lot.

The pig manure I got was super dry and light in weight. I belt it should be more than a year . It has almost 0% water retention capacity on it's own.
Unlike chicken manure that gets heavy and extremely soggy after rain,

The pile pig manure in my farm no even no say rain dey fall.

good! Sold 8.5k-8k this morning, cucumber was many.

😁😁. It will when it will... Nice work here sir.

Sir Please I know this is a really sensitive question but believe it or not, you have always been a mentor to me. So, assuming I have an agent to do sales of cukes for me. How much percentage of total sales is moderate to settle him/her?

I'm just curious. To avoid stories that touch😁. First time.

Your plants are looking very healthy sir. Congrats.

But this your bagging style is still shocking me . grin Honestly.

Please sir, if you don't mind me asking some questions,

1. Please what's your plant population that gave you this nice harvest?

2. Is it pig manure.

3. Which fertilizers are you using for the project?

Mine is about to commence. Rain fed.
Any advice is welcomed sir
.
I finally counted them. 1005 plants and I got about 51 bags. How about yours. Let's compare yield.
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by FarmTech(m): 9:58pm On May 12, 2023
Nezzjnr:

Nope ooo.

This is for side placing.

Fertigatiom is every 2 weeks.

Spraying Potassium Nitrate, Calcium Sulphate and Magnesium Sulphate works better than fertigating them.

Spray Calcium and Magnesium from week one and Magnesium from week Three
.
Pls where do you buy potasium nitrate and how much?

51 bags! This is awesome. Definitely the work of NPK. Cause I realized you don't joke with NPK.

Mine are great sir !. This is interesting cause my cukes are 3days old today.

I planted about 1500+. I'll know the plus once I do the census grin.

These pics were taken yesterday.

Please bros how do you irrigate your farm

At this early and fragile stage, I supply with cup (yes tedious) but once seedlings are stronger, hose will take over. It's rain fed too.

The hose channelled from borehole is a 'back up' for delayed rainfall.

NPK was very useful. Combined with manure. Try keep track of the number of bags. Although our bagging style here contains many more cukes.

Yes that's the thing.
We use single sack while yours may be one and half...

We'll still figure out a way.

Sea water is rich in potasium, calcium, magnesium and some other nutrients. I will still find my way to one sea shore oneday.

growing process is thesame. I planted the one am harvesting now on 14/3/2023 why the young on the 10/4/2023. The only difference from the previous years is foliar (once in a week) fertilizer I introduce, apart from npk 15:15:15: which I use like three times.

Quick questions sir...

1. please sir, what's the foliar fertilizer? Haifa bonus?

2. About caterpillar force, How many grams pack for that 1 litre of water?
The agro man here sells in 20grams per pack.

Thanks.
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Chidiebubeoji: 8:32pm On May 15, 2023
I greet you sir...

I just want to avoid the slightest misunderstanding.

About the NPK and urea,
By 3 : 1, you mean e.g 3 cups of NPK, then 1 cup of urea then mix together?

Thanks
