DemeUdo:Alright demeUdo, don't know why your name sounds like an Akwa/cross name though ![]() ![]() ![]() I understand your viewpoint, but the business terrain in Nigeria, especially for the agro-allied businesses isn't levelled and ready to embrace this innovations blindly, especially considering the value of items waybilled, and hence, some of the innovations used in the general food delivery, and light goods sectors will need to prove resilience before they can be adopted by the other heavy duty sectors. I understand you must be mad at her for not accepting your offer, but just know it's business! And most agro-allied businesses won't accept pay on delivery, as there have been reports of couriers carting away with goods worth huge sums, and the litigation process is back breaking. The best you can do is go an agrovet shop around you, send someone who stays there to get it for you, or you take the risk to pay 100% for the items, which understandably is risky. I can only guarantee you that the big names you meet here have done loads of business without failing, eg okoroemeka, komoland, emmaachile2, seedworld, etc. 1 Like 1 Share |

Farmerakinloye6:. It shud be across the slope. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by abouzaid: 4:54am On Sep 13, 2021 |
aquadude15:i don't know about driptape but secondary agriculture taught us to make ridges across the slope as it would reduce the speed of running water and therefore it's erosive power during rainfall, it also helps the soil to retain more water, it's known as cross ridging. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Ayoolu(m): 6:00am On Sep 13, 2021 |
CedaAgro, Solokad and Farmhelp are solid and trustworthy. In fact i have been doing business with them and they have never failed me. Look beyond the money, they are practical farmers who will guide you through without asking for a penny. Go ahead and place your order. They have been of tremendous help. 1 Like |

Please help, i have secured a large plot of land that might be as big as 20 plots when measured but my problem is how to irrigate it, it doesn't belong to me so drilling of a well or borehole might not be allowed by the owner so the next option would be to buy water from neighbors with borehole and transfer it by pipe to a plastic water tank or tanks on site, i would like to start with one crop and one plot at a time and gradually turn the entire plot to a full time vegetable garden, so how best should i approach the irrigation problem? What size of tank should i buy giving my current and future plans? Any other advice would be appreciated? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by flowmama: 3:35pm On Sep 13, 2021 |
abouzaid: Will the owner of the borehole allow you finish his water reserve wey dey aquifer? Irrigating 20 plots of land from a domestic borehole, won't the water dry off? Climate change is really oo. Even a commercial borehole sef might not do oo. And cucumber consumes more water than tomatoes and pepper. Just think it through so you dont get stranded midway. |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by abouzaid: 3:50pm On Sep 13, 2021 |
flowmama:i intend to start from one plot and then expand over a period of atleast a year, i just have to get it right. |

Farmerakinloye6:awesome, what did you do differently is it your spraying regime or feeding plan or probably spacing? 1 Like |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by abouzaid: 11:01am On Sep 14, 2021 |
Farmerakinloye6:in your video on staking, did you do the ridges first before mounting the bamboo stakes on them? Do you re-use the stakes with them been permanently installed on the ground? And the rope that connect the bamboo stakes together, is it twine or binding wire? |
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by REUBEN010(m): 2:08pm On Sep 14, 2021 |
abouzaid: Although it is tempting to believe that you can cultivate even a plot of Cukes with water from a neighbor's domestic borehole but I'll suggest you shelve that plan to avoid stories that touch the kidneys and lungs. What will happen at the middle of cultivation should the sumo or generator develop issues? What if the neighbor travels for some days without informing you? Your cost of pumping water may surpass even your total projected revenue. If the land is located at the Southern part of the country, I'll suggest you dedicate 75% of the land area to drought tolerant crops (eg cassava or potatoes) and 25% to watermelon at moderate spacing to hasten the formation of live mulch that will reduce soil evaporation. The cassava/potatoes will serve as a buffer should the watermelon fail so that you are not left empty. Cucumber is too risky to attempt without solid irrigation plan. 2 Likes |

Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by aquadude15: 1:15pm On Sep 15, 2021 |
komoland:if you are in an urban area you might not see it around your vicinity. the best bet is to purchase from a saw mill |
