[quote author=Psalmy2cute post=88228592]see what it's like, farming ugu with driptapes..[/quot

Is it necessary to stake if your doing commercial considering you will be cutting every 2 weeks

[quote author=Benagro post=88235826][/quote]not necessary.. but I believe you'll get better produce when you stake the plants.. to avoid it crawling on the soil

, staking will be nice only if you are growing ugu for pods production, if am cutting every two weeks I don't think is that necessary.

Funny enough I did ugu last year October and staked, I used drip too and it did better than crawling ones. though i didn't stake like cucumber, i did shade staking

the leaves will be fresh, and you'll get less issues of bacteria leaf spot

Though I didn't witness th harvesting but my farm manager told me he was impressed with the outcome

and u cut every two weeks?

EverythinDeals:
I am budgeting 4 or 5k. Can I get at this rate next week?

Budget 5-7k because those bringing it can't have access to Lagos State were they usually sell as at last week, it was 4k5 u should know that it might likely increase

Adamma91:
and u cut every two weeks?

every 10 days

HornyTave:
every 10 days

lol just saw it among my ugu.

Lol... that's wonderful.

Give it a special treatment and make some findings. Who knows

Adamma91:
ugu sell very well where I am, my friend has been here for three years cultivating ugu and she has been selling very well. it just matter of this lock down, buyer from Lagos troop in here every four day to buy all sorts if vegetable. I live in Lagos but I farm in Ogun state. She has ugu that she has been selling before now and demand was high. This one is for both of us.

Generally, the current country's situation affected almost everything especially farm produce.

By the way, does your friend cultivate ugu all year round or during dry season only?

How much did you get your farm at lease

Is it an acre??

Adamma91:

Im still trying to understand the economics behind this, for waiting that two weeks how much worth should that be if you sell all what you cut after waiting for 2 weeks?
