Little Gardeners

Our neighbor, Zack, helped me plant kangkong, pechay, and lettuce yesterday.

My niece, Juju, helped me feed the goats malunggay and lapnis cuttings.

Our new carpenter, Kuya Ides, started building my goat pen for Bumblebee and Twinkle.

Some New Organic Techniques


Rice hull as mulch. But it makes me wonder, isn't rice treated with lotsa pesticides? Is rice hull a good mulch material?


I saw this Solar Water Drip Irrigation system on SOAP's FB page. I got curious, since it's been extremely hot lately, so I tried it on one plot. I also did a clay pot method I read about in bio-intensive gardening. You're supposed to bury a clay pot in the soil and fill it with water and cover it with mulch. I put used coffee filters inside so it would seep through the soil slowly.
