I think it also depends on price...
I'm always amazed when I hear they're selling cucumber for 9 to 11k in Akure... It's always been 5-7k here in osun o... So I think price matters too sha
Same here. For the past 2weeks, cukes price has been within the range of 4k-6k per bag over here. Although bagging differs.

You are welcome.

But I open the beds and spray manure and ssp all over.... It touches every aspect of the bed.

Do this when you have it in excess.

There was a time I did Cukes with only ssp and manure... Everything came out well.
