Great job. Where do you sell your products and how much per kg?

christian11:

I see u Oga Soloxam...
Greetings

Soloxam:
Boss this issue of market has been a very difficult issue here to solve, mostly I ave people here that buy from me in bulk it is not sold in Kg oooo, at times a bag goes for 2k, aT times 2500.....

jasper7:

I won't lie o. Haven't used drip before. Not because it's not good, but because I haven't seen the need to. Sprinkler does the job fine for me. Even whith the mulching, it just rains down and waters the crops. I have over 10km of drip tapes that are perforated in the right measurement as the holes on my covered bed. But I haven't seen any need to install them.

jasper7:

Market in Nigeria should hardly be a problem, especially in this dry season. Do you know that a 25kg bag of cucumber cost up to 7k around this period? I advice you source for other markets o. It's very important. No be monkey the work, baboon dey chop

Soloxam:
@Jasper7, u just make me laugh boss, not in this part of Nigeria, at most they buy it in Lagos this time of the year is 5k. Except you have good time to locate the consumer or hotel to supply to. Their own problem is they don't buy so much.... All the same thanks, I will make some move.......

Soloxam:
CEO, I sight u too, how ur end sir.

Merry Christmas in advance to all my followers on this thread. Please do ensure you eat well this festve season. Unfortunately, I have gone through a terrible run of weeks (about a month). After the meeting with the farmers at ogbomosho I have been sick, really sick. Well, according to the doctors I suffered soft tissue infection. Which led to an operation. Am fine, thank you . This is the reason why the thread has been on slowmo for some weeks now. Well, there's no holiday for the farmers but the doc said I should take some time off from tedious work (a month or 2). So... I'll have all the time for you guys once am discharged fully from the hospital. Unfortunately I won't be joining much in the festive flexing due to restrictions on what and what I can eat and drink. Abeg make una kindly share my portion. . God Bless Y'all

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been away from the country for the past 3days. Currently at songhai farms in port novo, benn republic. Once am back by the weekend I'll give a detailed report.

INFOTECH2:


Thanks for all the quality information.

Quick question: if I don't use the mulch film, can I make use of herbicide/pesticide. If applied well, would it not be cheaper than mulch.

mercylicious:
Get well Jasper. speedy recovery.
