Hello Nairalanders
Last week I created a topic asking if i could plant cucumber seeds in bags, due to the large numbers of termites in the land i wanted to use, only one person commented, saying I should go ahead. Since then, i have been filling properly washed cement bags with sand mixed with manure. I want to start with only hundred bags, to see how productive it’ll be after harvest.
I went to buy the seeds at Dugbe (Ibadan) yesterday. I got the local seeds, I don’t want to start with F1 ( make my money no go waste if the thing no do well ). I will be posting about the cucumbers from time to time to show how things are going in the farm. As at this morning, seeds have been planted in the 100 bags.
I’ll like to get advice and tips on somethings e.g chemicals to use during insect infestation and fertilisers to use for speedy and healthy growth of the cucumbers. Thank you
