Thank you.

the height should be 1.8meter why distance between poles should be 90cm. Some people do it like cucumber but I don't do my own like that.

Who is interested in colabo? Lets put resources together and run an ACRE OF TOMATO WITH IRRIGATION. IF U ARE INTERESTED WE CAN CREATE A THREAD OF FORM A WHATSAPP GROUP FOR THAT AND TRY TO RUN IT TOGETHER?

Thanks for your prompt response.
Poles for my cukes are 3m apart to save bamboo cost.
I'll try your recommendation on a part and use 3m on some other parts to see which will be suitable (pocket-wise )

Thank you mentor

mentor 🤨...abeg nah learner I be. Please don't use 20:10:10 that is why I bold 15:15:15. Also, get insecticide that has imidacloprid has ingredient because whitefly will still be very active when your tomato will be ready for transplanting. Good luck sir 💪💪💪.

20 10 10 works well with it as well. We do use that always and the results are excellent. Thanks.

In addition to what my oga @farmerakinyole6 said about nutrients, you could use a water soluble fertilizer in very very small doses while watering, pls very small doses o! And pls always use sterilised materials for your nursery as your plants may have been infected, nothing you can really do about it as most times it doesn't affect your transplanted crops too badly, but prevention of calamity is better than cure

Can I see the picture of your seed planter and how much are you selling?

Farmerakinloye6:
It will definitely be a 5-6month journey. I actually did the nursery on 15th of February 2020 with nursery tray and cocopeat.

@farmerakinloye thanks for the great effort you put towards educating everyone and sharing your knowledge.

My question:
Do you buy buffered coco peat? If yes, is there any other treatment you do before planting?
Also where do you buy from?

I’ve heard some vendors sell fake cocopeat as buffered and the tomatoes end up dying.

Please how much is 1000m drip tape?

The planter is very strong, it's the type that the spring don't get damaged by soil easily, because they are covered with plastics It's goes for 75k, negotiable when you are ready sir.

Drip accessories are also available for those who need them for irrigation this season.

I don't know which one is buffered, just tell the agro seller you want original one, the difference is like 1k. The Day I took my vexination 😅🤣 to our major agro dealer here, plus rubbing his name to mud among my colleagues for wasting my money and time is the day he stop selling the fake one.

Farmerakinloye6:
Diva, I will be doing pruning, and put third line by next week.

Please how many bundles of twine do you use to optimally stake 10g of Platinum or say a plot?
I am budgeting for tomato project.

in the absence of SAAF, can fungu force be used?
the agro dealer I checked is not having SAAF but Skywalk and Fungu Force.
