    Orchard Farming

    and You
    Tips in performing scientific
    way of propagating fruit-bearing
    trees
    1.Select a stem which is not too young or
    too old.
    2. Be sure the propagating materials are
    of the same specie.
    3. See to it that the stock and the scion
    are fitted with each other.
    4. Do the propagation at the right time.
    Healthy and Safety Measures in
    Propagating Fruit-Bearing Trees
    1.Before working make sure you have
    refresh yourself (like taking a bath) in
    order to work well.
    2.Always wear complete personal protective
    equipment which includes hairnet, hand

    The Use of Organic Fertilizer

    According to the Bureau of Agriculture


    and Fisheries Product Standards, organic
    fertilizer is any product in solid or liquid
    form of plant or animal origin that has
    undergone substantial decomposition that
    can supply available nutrients to plants.
    Composting is essentially a natural
    process by which organic material is
    decomposed and stabilized.
    Various ways of Preparing
    Organic Fertilizer.

    1. The Sandwich Type of composting is an


    old practice where different organic
    materials or wastes are placed on top of
    one layer to another such as plant,
    animal, and soil. The mixed materials are
    kept moist until totally decomposed, then
    exposed to sunlight before applied as
    fertilizer.
    2. Chopping or hammer-milling is a way
    of composting wherein organic materials
    are sprayed with probiotics to make a
    mixture, then covered with plastic sheet to
    avoid dehydration. A mixture of various
    organic materials both from plants and
    animals source ensure a complete
    nutrient content of the organic fertilizer.
    The probiotics spray inclusion of this
    compost is helpful in increasing
    microorganisms that are helpful in
    creating a good compost.
    3. Vermicomposting is composting plants
    with worms wherein the process is faster
    producing a rich nutritious soil made by
    the earthworms.
