Pls tell the ratio of your soil, manure, ahes used and d type of manure used. |
Re: Sack Farming From Start by ishaqteejay(m): 1:04am On Feb 14, 2016 |
Liadi2:well my compost is black sand , top soil and cow dump with the ratio of 3:1:1 mine doesnt have ashe. Well black soil is a soil that has been burned with different kind of dirt and dump. So adding nutrient to it, so there no need to add ashe since its already been burned 1 Like 4 Shares |

Pls how did u mixed the cow dump, solid or liquid form or power form? And more so can I use poultry dump, pls did I also need to leave the dump for some days before I use it? |
Re: Sack Farming From Start by ishaqteejay(m): 11:31am On Feb 16, 2016 |
Liadi2:1.it should be in a solid form,to make the soil well drained and it helps the soil to retain water,2. Poultry dump is not good for sacks @ all cos its too salty for the plant 3. You just have to check whether it is dry and well decomposed enough if not you should dry it. 3 Likes |
Re: Sack Farming From Start by Liadi2(m): 5:59pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
Pls from my research I learnt that I can use fish pond water as my manure, pls how true is this and more pls I need more enlightenment on this soil and manure composition. |
Re: Sack Farming From Start by ishaqteejay(m): 10:08pm On Feb 18, 2016 |
Liadi2:well i have been using it for my experimental cucumber at home and it is quite doing okay, but it does not have the standard component fertilizer it has more nitrogen in it and your plants need phosphorus and potassium too, i used black soil, top soil and cow dump with the ratio of 3:1:1,then i add npk 15:15:15 every week 0r 5 days. 1 Like 5 Shares |

[quote][/quote]okay let us do it this way sack farming materials and cost analysis 1. sack =#80 per dozen 2. soil(black soil,cow dump,top soil)@ ratio 3:1:1 price and quantity may varues,so no price, 3. seed =any high yielding hybrid variety is highly recommended = #4900 -#6500 depending on the state, company etc 4. fertilizer = apply every 5 days or 1 week. or check fertilizer application for a particular plant and the type of fertilizer needed for the plant.=#5000(npk 15:15:15 25kg) 5. pesticide= fighter 32 ec is good for killing pest, check for the types of plant to apply to and check manuals on how to apply. =#900(500ml) *The sack should be fill half with the soil mixture * 1 to 2 table spoon of npk *sack should washed properly *proper row spacing should be done *string your cukes early with strong wood and ropes please it is always good to follow the thread well before asking questions to avoid asking answered or similar questions, will add more later if i miss some points.thanks 5 Likes |

ishaqteejay: Really inspiring. Did visit someone who is growing butternut squash and courgettes with sacks. Courgette is of the same family with cucumber. The concept is all about the possibility of growing where hitherto seemed impossible. Seen a healthy looking sack farm set up on the decking of an uncompleted building. Even if ones lives in a premises where the ground is concreted.....all you need is a bag and passion! ![]() 14 Likes 3 Shares |
