good pm sir, I got your pin but I'm not on bbm and I have been so busy with research and others pertaining to cucumber sack farming. I am 70 percent ready but will kick start if you can kindly enlighten me more on this questions I want to throw to the house.
1. is hand pollination compulsory, if it is, when can I do it and how do I do it
2. is it compulsory I first plant in a nursery before I tra sfer to the sack to avoid predators
3. when do I start spraying with pesticide and at wat interval should I spray the plants.
4. is it compulsory I treat the soil before planting and how do I treat is
5. I read it somewhere that adding ash is OK to the soil, so what is the usefulness of the ash and how important is it
6. how do I prevent nematode
7. can I use rice sack in place of cement sack cos I'm really finding it had to get it here

pardon me for my numerous questions, I will drop my day to day activities in the house with pictorial evidence. thanks and God bless

1. Hand pollination isn't necessary (Bees & Co. will do that for you) except your plants are in a net or greenhouse.

2. No it's not compulsory. Pests or predators will always come.

3. Usually when you start seeing pests but I start spraying after the third leave emerges. 5 days to a week interval. Then I stop temporarily when they start flowering. @organicfoods will recommend neem oil. Contact him for organic pesticides.

4. Don't know what kind of soil you wanna use but the locals here treat soil by burning dry grass on it before tilling and planting.

5. The locals say the ash is fertilizer. I leave you to Google. He'll answer the rest.

6. Burning may prevent them but if they survive, drowning them is an option.

7. Yes you can. Be like say you wan plant 20 per sack

EMMAACHILE:

I even finish harvesting my last cuke dis evenin(personal consumption anyway) de species is Nagano f1 nd i hav planted anoda set, let me see if dis rain will affect de species, bt last month i planted anoda species(i guess is Murano f1) because i jst transplanted dem frm a cuke farm nd i guess it is murano f1 because it hav many stem frm de plant. Nd also ash could be good because if its numerous benefits. Pls try small nd make sure u protect dem frm lizard(if is in ur bakyard), because dey will eat up de blades. Gracias.

Hi all,

Was invited today to see the first jute sack backyard farm. Rama in Hausa and I think Ewedu in Yoruba. He grows them for his own use cos he's a food processor (mostly herbs though). Also saw a giant African spinach plant. See the comparison.
