DemeUdo:

Madam get it right, maybe you are referring to another person, l have your N10,500(Delivery fee inclusive) intact at hand, all l am asking for is payment on delivery, which you should make provision for that too. Asking for 100% payment before delivery is not just cool with me, l even agreed to pay 1k delivery fee and and pay the remaining 9.5k on delivery you refused, l asked for your office in Abeokuta so l can come get it myself you refused, if you can't trust me upon agreeing to pay delivery fee ahead.. l can't trust you too.

ceda can be trusted! There is other agro shop too in ogun diekola farm, solakad in ibadan check page 2 for their contact. If you want me to send it to you,#10,500 for 1000 seed, and you will buy minimum of 2 sachet. You pay before I send,and also pay driver waybill tp. Ball in your court.

DemeUdo:

okay boss Farmerakinloye6, I'm considering waiting till mid October or ending when the rain will hopefully subside, besides the farm area is a bit waterlogged, the risk is obviously high ... Pls can you recommend any other source l could get the greengo seeds apart from ceda agro, I'm not very comfortable with her modus operandi. Thanks

if you have every materials needed plant now ASAP... ALL tomato farmer will back to cucumber soon. I will be planting another one shortly when am through with my cassava maintenance.

Nezzjnr:

Bros if you are in her shoes.... You'll never do that

If you are looking for someone that will deliver an item to you before you pay... You are really on a long thing because no one will do that

baba if l were in her shoe l wouldn't do same, l have worked as a delivery manager in an online shop and courier company, if a customer insist on POD, highest is to ask for commitment fee which is delivery cost..

Boss na just one plot l want run first, and a sachet will be okay, a friend l discussed the seeds with would have opt for a sachet too but he's complaining the price is on the high side.. let me check out diekola farms I'll get back you sir

Alright demeUdo, don't know why your name sounds like an Akwa/cross name though ! I can vouch for the authenticity of cedagro, as most farmers over here in Akwa Ibom pay huge amounts to her for delivery of goods to Uyo! Amounts that will make someone have orgasm just hearing, especially those buying irrigation kits and I swear I don't know her as a person, but I have had an Excellent business relationship with her.
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.

I will choose along the slope, upload like 2 pix on my irrigation and kit installation thread for more insight.

It shud be across the slope.

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.

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.

what's the prevailing price?

For the first time, my Cucumber lapse for like hundred days, guess this cool weather play a crucial role. I took six bags to market this morning, sold finished at 8k. My harvest on this particular project is total 102 bags From...let me say "2200 stand" highest I can harvest more is 2-3bags..this particular project make farming sweet me ....no cap! money was make... another one loading......

105bags multiplied by #8000 is 840k, oga find me recharge card.

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?

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.

awesome, what did you do differently is it your spraying regime or feeding plan or probably spacing?

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?

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.

1. I make ridges first,lay drip tape to know the distance then bamboo.2 If you use mature Baboo it should last for like 2 years 3. It Binding wire.

Good morning great farmers. Please I need bamboo for my cucumber project, please if any one know where I can cut or purchase, I reside in ibadan. Thanks.

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

Noted with thanks
