My people my people, please help me out. How can I get this brown sugar..... Or better still, wetin be brown sugar? N @organicfoods, please I really don't get that lactobacillus preparation, so even though u stated that it's optional, will it's absence in anyway reduce the efficacy of the microbes?

organicfoods:
You can get brown sugar from those shops that sells cake stuff.

lereinter:
am really fascinated to read that bacteria wilt can be eradicated by organic solution, this is a menace that has been affecting open field planting of tomatoes
sterilization of soil is a big task of combating the wilt, but with your guideline here; i dont know what to say. i will like to visit your demostration farm in ibadan to learn the skill life.
great work you are doing

organicfoods:
Sorry for the late reply. Yes it can be used, white sugar contains chemical that can kill the micro organism. Sugar cane liquid will also serve.

Healthilyea:

Organicfoods please can honey be used, molasses or brown sugar seems to be too expensive(i bought this small less Dan 500g pack for N850.)

organicfoods:
Haba...That is way too costly. Its 300 here in Ibadan for 500g. Honey can be used...but that itself is costly though.

Supplementing "Farmer's Fertilizer" with your home made fertilizer.

Our next fertilizer exploit promises to be interesting.We will be making fertilizer from Aloe Vera and Pigweed (Tete elegun) and then adding seaweeds from our Farmer's fertilizer. This will cut cost on nutrients supplements for our plants.

Ingredients:
Aloe Vera
Pigweeds (Tete Elegun)
Water
Farmers Fertilizer (Rich in seaweeds and Humic Acids)
Sugar

Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera contains saponins, salicylic acid, auixins, cytokine and gibberellins that are necessary for promoting and stimulating plants growth, they suppress harmful plant pathogen and help them develop strong healthy roots and stem system. Aloe Vera is a super plant for making liquid fertilizer.

Select some health succulent leaves of the Aloe and blend, add equal weight of brown sugar. (Note) Do not wash the leaves. Keep in dark cool place and allow broth to stay for seven days. After seven days keep strain and keep in a bottle and keep in dark corner of the house.

Pigweeds Tete elegun: Harvest the tips of this legendary weeds...Harvest it like you are plucking leaves for vegetable soup....Make sure you harvest the tender parts of the leaves. Measure equal parts of sugar and the weed then blend...add some little water to make a good paste. Keep aside in dark place for seven days. Pig weeds are rich in potassium, Calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, copper, and sodium. Strain and keep in a bottle.

Add equal volume of the Farmers fertilizer(Farmers fertilizer is already rich in Macro and micro nutrients) to the Aloe Vera and Pigweeds broth and your nutrients supplements is ready.This solution will help you spend less on fertilizer and maximize returns on investment.

NOTE: pigweeds can be substituted with Dandelion (Efo Yanrin) if your plants demands are high in Iron, manganese and Boron. As a farmer, you must know what and what nutrients are needed by your plants.

Dosage: Use 5ml into one liter.

@ organicfoods any help with organic management of broad mites?

Mercie123:
I'll suggest you check a pepper/tomato focused thread if your not getting an immediate help here cos the bosses seem to be busy. I'm just planting cucumber so it's all I could talk about for now. Lol

docfarmer3:


Thanks will do. Can you assist with any such threads. I'm a JJC in nairaland.

Mercie123:
Sorry I've been offline since morning. Pls use the search box at the top. Just type in the appropriate keyword but limit the search to agriculure so it'll be more concise. I've been on the farm since.
