Yeah, my cement bags started tearing after a while sef. Considering his long t takes for organic waste to release its nutrients, won't t affect the plants, e.g cukes that round up their life cycle in 40days tops
not quite correct the last crops we planted in our 500 sacks was around 900 plants it started flowering at 28 days,we harvested at 45 days and we continued harvesting every 4 days for a total of 12 times and we got 43 bags.so the total lifespan of a well managed crop is around 90 days.

this is a standalone project we at meglee farms are doing on our own,it will be 8,000 stands of cucumber,we will plant on Friday to harvest in yuletide,I hope the stream we are pumping water from will not dry up the rate we are sucking water from it I fear oo!,during dry season it will be 4 water pumps sucking water everyday simultaneously.

Yampotatocarrot:


Sorry, I had to quote the first write up... But 8-10 fruits per seed, is that an average? Cos t sounds too small to me. Why didn't you go for Murano, which produces faster

(I planted Tokyo though)
8-10 fruits Cu 999 is not small considering the size of the fruit,if u leave an interval of 5 days in between harvest u cannot fit 65 fruit in a bag

Not true. Planted Tokyo, Darina n Greengo as pilot and sometimes i kept for a week before selling.
maybe our storage is faulty

we have info from our customers that cucumber price will go through the roof this dry season,so we started clearing 3 plots of old garden egg that is behind our piggery.this is the season for cucumbers,if you are irrigating crops it feels good to be seeing the results instantly,also the garden egg has been harvested since first week of June,so its old the fruit is now of poor quality.

the seeds are still germinating ,we had excess rain yesterday it rain for more than 9 hours and it affected the tender crops,but we have a standby nursery to replace dead ones, who says agric is an exact science sometimes mother nature throws a spanner in the works.

we use fresh poultry litter from battery cages,put it in the vat put water to get a thick slurry and let it stew for 3 days minimum, then apply to the stems it will not burn the crop,but if the drops touch's the leafs it will scorch only that area it touch's the leafs,just like chemical fertilizer,it is better. chemical ferts has only 3 ingredients (NPK).but organic manure has that and all the essential micro/macro nutrients needed for plant growth.
