Vegetable Farming in Zambia: Sowing, Growing and First Harvest of our Cucumber Crop on Riverside 4

Cucumbers are one of those fruits that are often considered vegetables. This is the origin story of how we planted and nurtured a crop on our Riverside 4 Field at Winterthorn.
Starting with the preparation of beds, we detail how the drip tapes are laid out, how the seeds were sown, and share the various steps in crop husbandry up to the first of many harvests.

Great video, I'm a agriculture student from Liberia and I'm about to start a cucumber production. This video is very informative 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Having lived in Zambia l was very happy to see a small farmer doing such a great job managing his farm.

You said pesticides and sprays. That means cucumbers are not organic.

If I left my driplines exposed like that in Florida, the rodents would have them full of holes in a week.

Please for God's sake, how did you mange weeds before planting. I see the field is still clean after 2 weeks. Help a brother. I struggle with weeds a lot

Well done. I love the intensity of the farm operations. However I wish you demonstrated how you went about the staking
