Thanks a bunch for the vital information you are sharing freely. I have a 2 hectare farm that I just planted plantain on. do you think I can put cucumber on it too. The major thing is the borehole that i don't have. |

Okay, time for evening class. Let's talk of NUMBER FIVE is SOIL. The type of soil is very important vital to the performance. Basically, you should look for a soil that absorbs and retains water. (Loamy and semi-clay). Soil preparation is also vital, top dressing should be done with NPK 15:15:15 or organic manure. (I am pro organic farming so I use manure majority of the time) After the initial top dressing, you need to apply manure/fertilizer during the vegetative stage and mega super continous manure/fertilizer during the flowering/fruiting stage. This is to ensure continuous harvest for a longer period. In my next post, I'll share my personal experience with fertilizers and manure and also bad soil. Stay tuned 7 Likes 6 Shares |

stint:Yes sir, you can plant if your plantains are still young because cucumber likes correct contact to sunlight. If there is shade, the performance will dwindle. But if there's a portion secluded from the plantain, you can just test run. But water is needed o. |

Okay my soil experience. Now, the young cucumber seedling needs a strong boost of soil nutrient for rapid early growth. Very important. How do you enhance their nutrient at early stage? By doing top dressing before planting. What is top dressing? No be wearing of cloth o or shirt o. ![]() ![]() 5 Likes 2 Shares

Let me just deviate a little. I am fighting a war with irrigation. One of my customers complained of slightly bitter taste in the last supply. It means my workers have short-circuited the irrigation routine. And am not happy about it. I love my customers to always be satisfied. They deserve it. Now I have to water day and night, to make sure the bitter taste experience don't happen again. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Okay, I just met with representatives of a farm technology company in Thailand. And they said they can solve my current irrigation problems by supplying me a GUN SPRINKLER. A sprinkle water like rain with a 45metre radius. That is an impressive one, considering it will cover one hectare in 30mins. It's supposed to work hand in hand with my hydraflo machine. This machine is a beast. It can fill up a geepee tank in 30 seconds. An average sumo pump releases 50 psi at a go. This beast can go up to 2000 psi at a go. That is 40 times an average sumo pump. I havr not been able to use it because the pressure at which it releases water can cause erosion and even leaching if not checked. Please does anybody knows any other machine or mechanism that can be used for irrigation in my farm? Thanks 9 Likes 2 Shares
