Very interesting detailed information. Thank you as usual Fred. Very quickly... do you irrigate by watering directly on the ROOTS only or on both the roots and the vines/leaves? I'm asking this because my type of irrigation is tap water in my farm. I have 16 tap water in different locations fixed with hose. Also is this boron fertilizer you are talking about different from the fertilizer rich in potassium and phosphorus which I use after day 35/40 of planting? I use npk in the first 30days. Your response will be highly appreciated!
Hey fred have come across your channel today and am so happy.i started water melon farming this year and it's my first time. I like to know more about the farming. How can i join your class?
Bro, you need to chill! African farmers are very patient, hard working, slow talking people. They don't need fast talking, chemical selling, condescending type (not that you are). so, don't scare them, talk slow and easy on the chemicals!
Fred, please I have a big Problem with the watermelon I planted in cement bags which I copied from far east videos. When they start flowering and fruiting they start to wilt despite that I water them morning and night. I also put adequate chicken manure. I'm not happy at at all. What do I do please?
Get your soil off of chemical fertilizer. Its a welfare system. You sterilize your soil and then it depends on you. Plants grew beautiful before we were born. Love you and your mission
