ideepaul:what you will realize is that veggies grown strictly organic fetches premium prices and are desirable by oyibo people,that crop grown with manure is what they want.and also realize that this said pathogens in UM do not live inside the plant tissue,they stay on the outside and a good wash will take it off. 3 Likes 1 Share |

okoroemeka: In others words excanny should wash his vegetables instead of faulting our choice of manure and it's methods of application |

Wow, please let's not destroy ourselves with our own hands. If using manure the right way is difficult, I would advise we don't use it We cant twist things to suit our narrative when extensive research has been done to show us the implications of using fresh manure. In fact it can be done in days if a particular temp can be maintained(cant remember) if not leave it for a long time to compost. It's easier for me because of the poultry farmer I buy from. I buy a bag for 400 excluding transportation. The cucumbers have produced on my farm, I don't eat cos am not too fond of it, but every other member of my family does. It's one of the reason I stick to PHI of each product. There are times the fruits are big and am told to harvest, I say no especially when the PHI is not complete The country might not be encouraging, but we can't complain about our leaders and then we also are culprits. My oga@okoroemeka you will be surprised that if you are committed to it you can compost successfully most especially because of human resources you have at hand. I would encourage you sir to reconsider and give it a try 2 Likes |

Here's a photo of our first attempt at composting. Completed about 2hrs ago. The pile contains: Intermetent layers of brown plant materials (brown grass, small sticks etc all broken into small pieces; green plant materials (chopped elephant grass & some small grasses). We also threw in left-over cucumber fruits, & some remnant tomatoes. We brought & added some of the best soil we could find on the farm. Then we wetted with water, then covered it with the black plastic. We plan to turn it in 10 days time and every week thereafter. I hope it works though I expect the composting to be slow as we have been contending with unusually cool weather for several weeks now, and I don't expect better until late September. 3 Likes

FarmTech: Cabbage does well in the rain, but like everything else, it needs attention. As someone mentioned, successful transplanting is the holy grail of cabbage farming in the South. Our latest transplant was more than 90% successful. Sometimes, our success rate is less than 50%. Painful ![]() This picture was taken this afternoon.

One of our cabbage croppings. Picture below. When we first harvested and started selling in our city, the market people couldn't believe the cabbage was grown locally. We would harvest in the morning & by 11am, it was already in the market. The ones from the north simply couldn't compete on freshness & taste. We were selling N1000 per bag more than the ones from the North, yet we always sold out. A lot of things we think cant grow in the South actually do, and if you chose your time cleverly, you'll do very well. That said, the people in Jo's can probably plant cabbage all year round, whereas, in the south, it is challenging to grow cabbage successfully outside the rainy season. 3 Likes 1 Share

DeLaRue:this is very interesting we did nursery of Gloria variety by technisem and they wilted immediately the nursery cover is removed for hardening,but a friend did the same Gloria variety but from a Danish seed co,and it worked like magic,I guess a successful cabbage farm starts from the seed. 4 Likes 1 Share |
