Kudos to your efforts. From my experience with super marketer, it doesn't like morning dew or water on its leaves. It dries them out.

Noted!

vanpeele:
It was very dry....for 8 months

You have to leave the poultry waste wet for 6 month to compost before you can use it. To make the process faster, mix with wood shavings or saw dust. Mix them every week to fasten the process. To test the readiness, it should not generate heat anymore and should not be smelly. Drying it will not allow it to compost.

ok thanks....Will try it out

Went to the farm yesterday and most of the cucumber seeds sprouted, will go back on Monday to check if all of them are out of the soil then replant any one which failed to germinate.

Please I'm interested in this cucumber farming. Can I have a practical class with you?

How long does it take to germinate

There's no need. Everything you need to know is on the thread. A sort of long distance learning.

But I prefer a practical class, being on ground and getting it straight to avoid mistakes.

5-7 days.... at most.

The farm set up after sowing.

light watering after sowing ,though there was a heavy downpour late in the night .

Cucumber seeds

Liquid fertilizer to be sprayed on the plants when they have more foliage.
Hand sprayer to substitute for knapsack sprayer till I save up to buy one.
Attacke pesticide to fight off the insects and NPK fertilizer to be fed to the plants on biweekly bases.

It is a matter of personal interest as this can be replicated in any part of Nigeria and it is not only limited to cucumbers as one can grow Capiscum, Tomatoes, Ugu, Butternut Squash, Strawberries, Okro and so many other crops using these same bags........interest is the keyword!

True. It is just that Nigerians refuse to latch on opportunities even when it is staring at them!

A word is enough for the wise. Moving forward, food won't get better or cheaper if we don't make it better or cheaper ourselves.

We've to start growing what we eat. #urbanfarming #sustainability

Your liquid fertilizer, how effective is it...that's if you've used it before.

Can you please take a closer picture of it? Thanks

Thanks a lot pavore

Actually I'm farming for the first time so haven't really had any experience with forliar fertilizer. I just got info on forliar feeding of cucumber plants while doing more research and decided to try it out. According to the research plants tend to absorb nutrients readily from their leave more than from roots. However forliar feeding can not substitute root fertilizer application totally. As for the picture will do that tomorrow.
