Early this October our farm took its first harvest of cucumbers, okra and tomatoes.
Our Product is quite amazing , it bears us larger fruits ( i.e. 1 pc of cucumber weigh up to 1.5kg instead of normally 3-4 pcs in a kilo.
Our Okra and tomatoes also bears us good quality of fruits despite no pesticides being use.. unlike the neighboorhoods garden, ours now are not much prone to any pests. This I believe is because of the lemon grasses we plant around our garden as experts advised us.
Our first Products are now are being enjoyed by our staff and students as part of meeting their needs as day by day food. As of this month we encourage people in the community to come in and see for themselves that a backyard garden is very do-able and not costly.
We are now preparing fertilizer to help at first those famly who will be willing to do it at their backyard and soon make also their own vermi-culture.
“vege@table” is possible and it can be done if the villager will just be equipped and guided of this D.I.Y. backyard garden.
