i am an economist, but one of the rule of farming is to align yourself with an expert, and I have Esude007 as a consultant
Nice one! This is the singular reason why i keep telling people that if you think that education is too expensive, then try illiteracy. At least the money your parents paid for your university school fees didn't waste, you didn't paid your way through the university, you actually read.

it is a handy kit, I can use to test for organic matter, ph, npk, and most trace nutrients

So no formal training is needed on how to handle it?

How much does it cost too

Following the tread of my agronomist friend Esude007, I was able to convert a small space in my compound into 2 seedbed of ugu at spacing of 20m by 30m. I planted 250 seeds per bed, i use organic manure from cow and poultry, the result from soil test showed that the soil is deficient in organic matter, nitrogen and the soil ph is acidic. To stabilize the ph, I had to apply lime. Acidic soil prevent nutrient movement to the plant.

Good "neighbourliness".

Watering: I water the bed every 24 hours… pumpkin is drought tolerant, but that doesn’t mean it hates water. Pumpkin grows well when it have ready supply of water… so to get optimum yield, water your pumpkin every 24 hours

Following o.

Just sold my third bed excess pumpkin yesterday. Sold 2 last month. And they're growing back already. Never planned it. Was just too much for me to consume alone and someone came to buy it. The way the lady has been pestering me is making me consider doing serious commercial dry season farming for it next year.

Do you have more seeds to sell?

No, I don’t but it can be gotten from the open market. Either in pods or measured i in small paint bucket but u need to check the seeds to make sure is a viable seed and also if buying the pod open before payment to confirm the seeds because the first pods I got 2 out of 5 were completely damaged. The darker seedlings are more viable compared to the white brighter ones..

Thank you for this. Have an idea the price per pod? Does the size determine the price?

I got that 5 for 2400 but 2 out of them were completely damaged so I think it depends on the availability..

I am not judging. I am also a farmer. If you wont post the cultivated photos, dont create the thread. Does it make sense to you that you put up just image of you carrying pipe to water empty ground? Reason it
Its not an attack

38 days old pumpkin, u can leave to crawl on the ground during dry season without issue of diseases, but i love seeing the beauty. Pumpkin is a perennial climber. … sorry for the late update, stress too much.
