Absolutely brilliant farm, and highly motivating. How do you deal with diseases, and other parasites, do you sell the raw plant or are you involved in processing them?
@@Myfarm6768 not what I meant. I was expecting a Nigerian voice . It was nice hearing a Malaysian voice . I worked in Malaysia for years . So , yeah , it caught me off guard . Your video was very informative. Thanks again.
Hi, I never knew this wonderful plant was used in Malaysia. Ugwu is the Igbo name for it and in my language is Nkong Ubong used for Edi Kan ikong soup. Can you please let me know how those stakes that is holding the vine assembled? What do you use to hold them up. I'm hoping to get seed from mine. I've been trying to figure out how to build something up so I can move my ugwu plants from my basement laundry room (makeshift greenhouse 😂) to outside when it warms up soon. Thanks for your input.
@Daughter of the King , Put up tripods using wood or bamboo sticks, then run 3 rows of wire across , then put up trailing nets. Please watch the video " Ugu trailing net set up and Put up trailing net for ugu.
Malasia? How i which you are in nigeria? Is you seed hybrid? I wish you van train me? Am in nigeria am just a new ugu famer, i just hot some seed and your farm encourage me the more. Weldone sister!
nice farm you have going there, where is your farm located? how long does it take for the plants to produce pods? How is ugu used in your side of the world & who uses it? I always assumed this was mainly used by Nigerians. I am about to plant it in my backyard and wonder if i would get pods
Thank you for watching. This farm is located in Melaka, Malaysia. After 3 months it will pods. Is a kind of vegetable. Mostly consume by old folks in the nursing homes in powder form.
@Adeniji, blue containers to collect water, use if no rain. Choose only 10 female plants a season to grow at mother garden just to produce seeds pod only.
@@Myfarm6768 Alright thanks. But with that enormous of plants I think the pods should be given more consideration because it's lucrative here in Nigeria
Till with chicken dung on beds, set free for 3 weeks, then start sow seeds direct or transplant pregerminated seeds. After 6 weeks apply urea, then the urea application is once a month/ 5 weeks once..
@Sebastian, I grow ugu in tropic, I do not have this issue. After more or less than 13th weeks ugu will start pod, it will take another 8 weeks to mature. If you have mature pod by November end, I would suggest keep fully mature pod (do not cut) inside the cooler. (About 16°C) for three months (Dec, Jan, Feb), you cut the pod by March and sow.
After harvest for 6 months,, all the vines removed, the stumps will regenerate again, I have tried it for one and a half years. This one in the video can harvest for 7 months.
