Rizal PHL | April 30, 2013
I just visited the farm of a former class classmate which grows organic fruits and vegies in Jalajala Rizal. It is near a dairy facility that produces carabao milk
Some facts:
l. For water supply she uses wind power. However at the time we visited the farm, there was little wind and it was not turning. (Maybe the design needs improving. It uses a split plastic drum for vanes)
2. No pesticide is used; shrubs that are vs insects like marigold are planted everywhere.
3. For fertilizer, compost and manure are used. Vermiculture is used extensively.
4. She put up the farm 2 years ago in pursuit of healthy living
The lady owner is searching for buyers and will expand her farm accordingly depending on the demand.
