DID YOU KNOW?

Earthworms function as unpaid farm labor. By carrying organic materials from the top down and blending it with the soil below, they assist in "turning" the soil. Making fertilizer is another intriguing task that the worm performs. In an acre of soil with 500,000 worms, 50 tons of castings may be produced.

LOOK!

Farmers are true innovators. Check out this Eco-Bag made by our organic farmers from Santo Niño South Cotabato.

Made from Rice Straws, which is the vegetative part of the rice plant (Oryza sativa L.), cut at grain harvest or after. It may be left on the field before the next plowing, plowed down as a soil improver, or used as a feed for livestock.

However, Women members of Farmer Group - Peoples Action for Liberative Agricultural Industry (PALAI) developed a new use for their surplus rice straws - turn them to Eco-Bags! This may be crude but it showcases creative innovations farming communities are capable of.

According to Jethel Kapunan, PALAI Chairperson Initiatives such as this will be of great help to rice farmers who are still experiencing the impacts of Rice Liberalization.

The bags are sold at 35 Php per piece and are available in other sizes. You can directly send your queries to our farmers via Mr. Joffrey Jofax Frinal (Masipag BOT Member) or Mrs. Herminia Beramo Fabay Kapunan. Check thier page PALAI Handmade Paper Industry for more details.

Oregano plants from just small oregano cuttings! 🍀

I started several oregano cuttings from a previous harvest I had started about 2 months ago.

They just started with 2 to 4 leaves.

Now, they've fully grown 😄

Transferred my avocado tree from the temporary plastic pot from before 😃

Nakakatuwa na pinatubo ko to mula sa seed ng kinain naming avocado several months ago 🥑

Pinatuyo at binalatan namin ng onti yung avocado seed, tapos diniligan araw araw sa pot niya :)

Yung problema ko na lang talaga ay wala na kaming space para sa malaking puno 😅

Making new worm composting bins!

Ang saya talaga gumawa ng mga ganito :) Making a small business with a purpose has always been my goal.

I have a lot more ideas in mind, that I believe can make a difference in people's lives and the world, too.

I hope I can share those ideas to all of you, soon. 🙂

Corn in my compost bins!

Most of the food scraps you will use in worm compost bins are composed of veggies and fruits that have seeds embedded inside of them 😄

With the healthy compost surrounding them, this allows them to grow! That's why you will see plants growing from time to time in your compost bin 😃

You can save these plants by transplanting them, or you can also crush them, so that they will be composted by worms once more. :)

:o

It is biologically similar to grafting and such trees are referred to in forestry as gemels, from the Latin word meaning "a pair". 🌳

What are your thoughts, eco-friendly buddy? 🌱

After 15 years, our calamansi tree at home is still producing lots of fruits!

Naaalala ko pa noong wala pa akong 10 years old, kumukuha na ako ng bunga dito 😄

I've tried searching for the lifespan of calamansi trees. Some say that it only bears fruit for 3 to 5 years, but I read another article saying it can live up to 15 years.

This is really fascinating to know, and I hope to plant more of this long lasting tasty fruit tree. 🌱

Harvests from my different plants today 😄

More okra, eggplants, bell peppers and blue ternate flowers!

I want to add more variety so that one day, we won't have to buy our veggies any more. 😃
