Good morning compatriots and fellow farmers.....I'm an admin of three whatsapp group since last year and I can no less agree with your position on such social platform....indeed it has its merits but most often times does not really address the specifics....some Adkins created whatsapp for their selfish intentions, some whatsapp members joined for their selfish intentions.......it takes God and a sincere, passionate and committed agropreneur admin to manage such platforms.... In addressing some of such limitations.....my network though not specifically for ugu will support every move to see your idea comes through....we are over 50 registered members across Nigeria......should we be able to get it right in consolidating our efforts....it may history in the making....... Below are few pics of ugu farns visited yesterday for survey and data collection...... God bless Nigeria Agriculturist/Farmers.... Ejulafarm:

Update on Pesticide usage: Recommended usage of neem leaves as pesticide is to soak for days and not boil. Boiling reduces active ingredients in the neem leaves. |

That is impressive Mr. Kalu. At House... We are in the business(trading) phase of Ugu farming, so a lot of time is invested in making sure profit is optimized. I think the rain is here to stay and I hope you know what that translates to, considering the very nature of this thread. This year Ugu cycle happened so fast that alot of farmers are in the dilemma of either planting now or waiting a little longer (as per the raining season). I believe it is time to put on the thinking cap as it pertains to the next dry season Ugu farming. One thing seems likely and that is this year dry season cycle will come early. This is TOP secret.... ![]() Farming is hardwork but with perseverance and passion not forgetting needed resources, It can be quite rewarding. I will update you all of progress made thus far. God bless. Ejula FARM. 1 Like |

The Pics below are taken from different segment of my farm. This is after like 4 to 5 harvest. One should realize that there were a lot of challenges. The challenges are listed in order of magnitude. - Labor Management : Lack of planning attributed to this. From my assessment there was suppose to be at least 1 full time farmer on ground. From inquiry, I realize I could have gotten labor from cotonou or northern farmers. The most important thing is that, the challenge was assessed and there's probable solution. - Irrigation: 1/2 inch Hose and surface pump was a NO NO. I later graduated my irrigation system to 6Hp pump and 3 inch hose. The only missing part is a sprinkler (Finance couldn't allow me get the sprinkler). But next planning, will take cognizance of best suitable irrigation practice. So there you have it.

Notice that I intercropped the Ugwu with water leaves. This is because water leaf is a natural weed in this part of ogun state and I decided to leave it instead of elephant grasses which is also very much incumbent here. The water leaves were sold and also used as incentive for my customers Take a look at the picture below.

Notice the farming area is in residential area, so it is certain that next farming cycle will be in another location. Plans are made towards that. The picture below is a 5 feet dug well that is connected to a water source. Before the rains, I pumped water from this. The farm pictures shown here taken this morning after 5 days of harvest. So the leaves are just springing up.

Good morning all, I have been reading all the conversation on this thread for some days now and as a result of my interest in being a member of the train I decided to open a nairaland account to enable me connect with you guys. You guys are doing really great, and I really appreciate that and kind of jealous too. Anyways, I am also an aspiring farming, that's what I can say because I have only being training and gathering knowledge about different kinds of farming (animal & crop), but I have not started out my own farm. I used most of the times I had during the many delays that my Alma mater (O.A.U Ile-Ife) brought my way during my university days to learn farming as it has always appealed to me. Now, after spending so many years in delay, from schooling to NYSC, I have found my self at home jobless despite graduating with a good grade (2.1), and even taking professional certifications (CIPM, CICRM) to boost my appeal of employability to employers since I have a deep passion for people management, I still find myself checking my mail each day to see if I have been called for an assessment by prospective employers, yet nothing, and I still keep sending out CVs. Although I have always had it in plan to venture into agribusiness but I was not seeing it as a stand alone means of livelihood. "Me sef wan wear suit na, and tie rope for neck, and AC dey blow me, you get". Then I can now use some of the money I get to finance the farm blah blah blah since the knowledge was there already, that was the plan. But now things have not gone as planned. It is now approximately 5 weeks and 2 days after P.O.P and still nothing. But before I finished service I started making plans towards starting a farm since I was already seeing signs of no job prospects, but my main issue still remain - LAND, I have not being able to get since I have been searching. I had plans of starting my farm in my service year before but fortunately I was posted to Lagos, in the heart of it - Ikeja. Where will one be able to farm like in such a place? Well, guys please I would love to join the association in advance prospect of starting up my farm, I hope my request will be granted. Anyhow "sha", I pray the Almighty God bless our hustle. Still in search of land, and as soon as I get one, ugu is a prime candidate for my venture start up, for I look forward to start up my farming venture with crop farming - vegetables precisely before any other provided there are viable means of advancement. Thank you for your patience and time. Mr Egula hoping to hear something positive from you and the crew. 1 Like |

Hello all, I have being away from my thread for sometime now. Though the thread is limited to dry season ugu, I could still have continued the discourse. But I have being so engrossed with a project not related to farming and the way I'm seeing it, it will take a while to finally conclude this new chapter. I'm into farming for the passion first, then other things follow. So when I'm done with this present project at hand, I hope to further grow my passion (i.e. farming). Since I will not be doing dry season farming this year, I thought it wise to let off some of my equipment at a reasonable price. I wish I could use this equipment to sow a seed but I feel adding value to it will make one bent on achieving something with it in this field. 3- inch Honda water pump... (very reliable for sprinklers, especially rain guns) - I bought this brand new around february this year and it is still working very well. Specification: Model : WP30X Sunction/Discharge : 80MM Capacity - 60 M3/H Total head - 30M Rated Power: 6.5 HP. Price: #40,000 150 yard blue hose (at #150 per yard), It is about #300 in Ojo, alaba. Total Price; #22,500 Very effective for rain gun. Or for use manually. I prefer to sell both, but I can sell each a piece.
