well my compost is black sand , top soil and cow dump with the ratio of 3:1:1 mine doesnt have ashe. Well black soil is a soil that has been burned with different kind of dirt and dump. So adding nutrient to it, so there no need to add ashe since its already been burned

Pls how did u mixed the cow dump, solid or liquid form or power form? And more so can I use poultry dump, pls did I also need to leave the dump for some days before I use it?

1.it should be in a solid form,to make the soil well drained and it helps the soil to retain water,2. Poultry dump is not good for sacks @ all cos its too salty for the plant 3. You just have to check whether it is dry and well decomposed enough if not you should dry it.

Pls from my research I learnt that I can use fish pond water as my manure, pls how true is this and more pls I need more enlightenment on this soil and manure composition.

well i have been using it for my experimental cucumber at home and it is quite doing okay, but it does not have the standard component fertilizer it has more nitrogen in it and your plants need phosphorus and potassium too, i used black soil, top soil and cow dump with the ratio of 3:1:1,then i add npk 15:15:15 every week 0r 5 days.

This is a sample of my sack cucumber variety (darina mix f1) that i planted

i am really happy to share my successful sack farm with you guys,i had my first harvest 2day with 3 bags out of my 157 sacks in my farm.hope you guys are inspired and like to try.

[quote][/quote]okay let us do it this way
sack farming materials and cost analysis

---

1. sack =#80 per dozen
2. soil(black soil,cow dump,top soil)@ ratio 3:1:1 price and quantity may varues,so no price,
3. seed =any high yielding hybrid variety is highly recommended = #4900 -#6500 depending on the state, company etc
4. fertilizer = apply every 5 days or 1 week. or check fertilizer application for a particular plant and the type of fertilizer needed for the plant.=#5000(npk 15:15:15 25kg)
5. pesticide= fighter 32 ec is good for killing pest, check for the types of plant to apply to and check manuals on how to apply. =#900(500ml)

*The sack should be fill half with the soil mixture
* 1 to 2 table spoon of npk
*sack should washed properly
*proper row spacing should be done
*string your cukes early with strong wood and ropes

please it is always good to follow the thread well before asking questions to avoid asking answered or similar questions, will add more later if i miss some points.thanks

i got #12000 for the 3 bags which i broke even from the first harvest and hoping to get my second harvest next week with more bags.

Really inspiring. Did visit someone who is growing butternut squash and courgettes with sacks. Courgette is of the same family with cucumber. The concept is all about the possibility of growing where hitherto seemed impossible. Seen a healthy looking sack farm set up on the decking of an uncompleted building. Even if ones lives in a premises where the ground is concreted.....all you need is a bag and passion!

Nice try op.

So inspired! Hope to contact you when I start planting my Concumber. Tho my first experience!

God bless you ishaqteejay, your farm will continue to be fruitful n ur income will continue to increase, for helping ur compatriots with this valuable information, almost for nothing. We need more people like you. thanks bro, hope to drop a similar thing soon.

I am really inspired by u and other farmers on dis platform so can anyone pls link me wit someone/where i can learn hw 2 plant cucumber and other leafy fruits.i stay at ota in Ogun state ...pls i really nid as i also wanted 2 be a farmer .well done Bro nd keep it up

Well done. Which state are you in?
