Watermelon is a nutritious fruit and it is widely known around the world.
One other thing about this fruit is that you can eat the whole part. You can eat the fruit, with the seed and bark.
Watermelon cultivation has been known to be cost effective, and considering a capital as small as 40k, you can generate over a million within 70-90 days.
I hear someone say SCAM!
You can invest 40k and expect 1 million naira in less than 4 months.
YES
I AM SAYING IT AGAIN
Now, what am about to share with you is a proven way of hitting our target of over a million naira within 70-90 days.
There is no time for unnecessary stuffs, let’s ride straight into our calculation
Basic amenities
A Plot of land
Basic farming skills
Crude implements etc
Fertilizer
Irrigation/Buckets
A plot of Land
I will be real as possible.
A few years ago, owning a plot of land is like having a Benz parked in your garage were everyone sees you as the wealthiest person in your community. BUT now, everything has changed. So, I know the cost of owning a plot of land isn’t something we want to toil with. However, I won’t justify this point as a reason not to venture into watermelon business because apart from buying a land, you can also talk to people or relatives that have lands but they aren’t developing the land yet.
This will make me say that: it’s possible we cultivate on a plot of land giving to us for free. By the way, strive to get a plot of land for free, it’s cost effective.
Basic farm skills
Clearing of 1 plot of land shouldn’t be a big deal. Don’t mind me, how can the posh you bend down to cut grass! There are many ways to go about this, so it’s not an issue. You can use a labor.
Crude Implements
Hoe and Cutlass One other thing I would love to talk about is the best time to plant watermelon. Watermelon can be grown throughout the year. Exact time vary depending on your location. In cool climates with short growing seasons,
Fertilizer
This is very important in order to arrive at our figure. There are two types of fertilizer: organic and inorganic fertilizer. For the organic, it can be produced with little to no cost. All you have to do is to locate a poultry nearby or cattle ranch to pack dungs. Well, a posh you can always get someone to get this done. And for the inorganic, it isn’t expensive.
Irrigation
Avoid over flooding in watermelon field. Don’t spray the vines or vegetative parts of the plants while applying water. Oh, am supposed to tell us the cheapest way of doing this. We are dealing with a plot of land, you can get a very big jar of 50 litres, and it will serve as your storage. For irrigation on one plot of land, you need a keg and a bowl and bucket.
Weed control
You don’t need to spend a dime before you get this done. Enter your land and carry out intercultural operations, 15 to 20 days after sowing. 2-3 weeding are required depending upon severity and intensity of weeds.
THIS WILL NOT COST YOU MORE THAN 40K… PUT YOUR MONEY TO WORK
