Has anyone gotten uniform germination here??

if you plant directly don't expect uniform germination.

emmaachile2:

Unbelievable! It's likely the management oh. Mydaz RZ F1 is about 3500 for just 100 seeds. Darina F1 is up there if you get the nutrient right. Darina should give minimum of 10 mature fruits under open field but if no nutrient, even Mydaz may not even give 3 fruits to maturity.

okay thanks! True the seed is on high side, I will try it one day.

I took 10bags to market this morning, and I sold it at 7.5k. Next harvest will be Sunday or Monday.

I'm trying to achieve uniform germination planting directly.

Maybe I'll just stick to Seedlings tray

Farmerakinloye6:

.
Great strategy. Thanks.

Applying Manure and Ssp in the middle of the beds just like the way of Applying Akara to Bread.

Is this method diff from the convectional basal method where manure/fertilizer are buried few inches away from the seedlings?

Yes

This one is just very easy and less stressful to do than the one you are talking of.

In my next Cucumber project... I'll show you a practical example using pictures
