UGU PLANTING IN SACKS / PUMPKIN CULTIVATION IN BAGS/ Ugu farming/ Ugwu farming/ Bag/Sack farming

With the ever-increasing demand for agricultural lands for commercial and residential purposes, it, therefore, becomes necessary for farmers to come up with innovative ways of cultivating with little or no space for farmland.
Therefore, PLANTING IN SACKS OR BAGS proffers a solution to this major challenge in urban areas. This video is therefore aimed at guiding Ugu farmers both new
and existing on the step-by-step approach to cultivating our Ugu in sacks/bags.
Leave us a comment if you've got any questions as regards the processes or any other related questions.

I always get so amazed with your understanding of your craft Chidav.
Thanks for always teaching so well

Thanks so much Sir

[@TheFarmLadyAquatics]

I really learnt a lot in today's session. Thanks for sharing great value🙏🙏🙏😊

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Thanks for always supporting the brand ma'am.

[@ojukwuchinonyeebere4823]

Please can I use cement bag or poultry feed bag ? then can I plant 2 seeds in each bag n get good yield?

[@dejiadeleke2831]

Nice, pls do another video after 60days, lets see how they are doing .

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

You will definitely get update videos on the ugu in sacks

[@okpekegabriel7995]

Thanks

[@charlesadimah]

How did this Ugu sack harvest go?

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Wonderful sir

[@onwukweonyinyechi8202]

Are the sacks open to allow air circulate?

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Yes they are.
And this sacks are used for experiment and update videos would be released on things and areas looked at, so as to help Ugu farmers manage their fields better.

[@Storiesbymaxzy]

Great work sir. Pls I have one question that no one has never answered. How many seeds is needed for a plot of land. Pls kindly reply. Thanks

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

This is determined by your spacing .
Using 60cm by 50cm I recommend for beginners, you'll need, about 2,222 seeds per plot.
The seeds needed can either go up if the spacing is more close or less if the spacing is less close.

[@Storiesbymaxzy]

Thanks so much sir. I really appreciate.

[@Storiesbymaxzy]

I saw somewhere that 4000 seeds is needed for an acre. That's not true I guess... And ummm can I use ridge to cultivate them as I have already existing ridges in d farm or must it be beds

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Beds give better results, as you maximize your space using beds

[@omotoshodaniel159]

@@ChidavAgriculturalHub But during harvest, does that means we shouldn't be expecting it to also reach the seed production (pods) stage if we're to use sunken beds??

[@obichukwu3371]

Please what can one expect from these 100 bags during the week/month of harvest and how long does it take before harvesting?

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

You should be able to realise about 5,000 to 10,000 every month

[@marvyozioma783]

What if the sacks are placed on cement floor outside?

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

No problems, just ensure the soil are well irrigated and properly applied nutrients

[@adafelix5127]

Please any video to show the results?

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Please go through our ugu playlist

[@titilayoodukoya8136]

I prefer using cement sacks though... Black polythene will cause heat. And Cement sacks won't need making holes at all

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

I like cement sacks too
But opted for polythene because it's more cost effective than cement bags and the heat generation / retention would have no major effect on Ugu though, as its a tropical crop and would not be affected by heat retention by the sacks. Plus, I also considered the fact that we don't really need so much soil to produce ugu, so we just went for something well fitting.
But, even with cement bags, proper agronomic practices or management is key to having a great vegetable at the end of the day.
Thanks for sharing your thought ma'am.

[@titilayoodukoya8136]

@@ChidavAgriculturalHub alright then. Pls update us.

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

@@titilayoodukoya8136 I will definitely.
Many thanks

[@ijeoma3681]

A lot of confusing videos on You Tube. Some say face the pointed part downwards others say it should face up😂

[@ChidavAgriculturalHub]

Let me ask you, if the pointed part produces the root and the flat sided produces the vines, which one should be facing down or up?
