  • IT'S A FRESH START AT MY CALAMANSI FARM IN AGUSAN DEL SUR.
    With a new crew working, I am starting to overcome some of the challenges of farming in the Philippines.
    We are replacing the seedlings that died - and seeing results from proper care of the others!

    One thing with farming, I learned when we had our farm, They have to buy into it. Almost if not a partnership, and if the farm is successful? Then they will be employed and make a leaving. I admire your dedication though. Power on.

    Mulch the surrounding ground of the Calamansi tree until they are big enough. Use rice hull with saw dust, it not only prevents weeds from creeping to the plant, it also traps moisture. It's very cheap, you can buy it in any nearby rice mill. Use cow dung to fertilize your plants. Invest in proper irrigation as well. Good luck Commader, i hope you find people who have the "malasakit" to care for your farm.

    @normaacey3513 Před rokem +6

    KD make sure you maintain the space around the calamansi- no weeds growing around it, cultivate once in a while using shovel to air out roots, so they grow faster and healthier. I noticed your property has different elevations; do you have an area in your property where there is a water source like creek, canal, stream or brook? That would be great! In case of dry, at least you have a place to get water to water your calamansi. You can even plant some fruit trees from seeds like mango, avocado, guayabano, etc., or some of your favorite vegetables like sweet potatoes as ground cover, corn, tomatoes, cooking banana, etc. just a small part just for your consumption. We had banana in our farm and underneath those bananas wild mushrooms grow. Maybe your wife can help you and check your farm from time to time if you are out of town...just a thoughts.🤔👍

    Glad to see you're bouncing back on a more POSITIVE footing, Anselm. Good job! 👍🏻 ... A few ideas from the Comments = 1) FENCE: someone suggested putting up a fence to keep away goats etc. What do u think? ... 2) TARP or Mulch: this was suggested around each sampling -- to curtail the growth of weeds. Thoughts? ... 3) Security CAMERAS = when/if budget allows, is this a viable option? It should also give you a peace of mind. ...
    Thought I'd highlight these out to you, for easy reference. ... Take care, Anselm. Enjoy your Cateel visit!!

    Your vlog is very inspiring. We are also doing a rehab of an old calamansi farm. Our seedlings were planted right before the peak of el nino, so a few were affected.
    You are right, the grass, when not tended will impact the growth of the seedlings. It's also one the activities require the most effort aside from watering the calamansi plants (our plants are also in sloping area like yours).

    You can use washed cement bags to stop the grass growing around. They are free on jobs sites you can add them to the plants slowly, it will also help with water retention. Rice hull is also free and a good mulch after you take the grass out. Good luck on your venture, calamansi is very fragile young but gets stronger as they grow 😀

      Ideally yes... The problem is that I would be unable to fulfil my other commitments if I was always at the farm. Given that they won't fruit to commercial levels for a couple more years, I would also struggle to have any income. So I have to compromise. As long as I am there often, even if it is not every day, it is the best I can do. And it is better than one visit in 3 months, which was a mistake on my part!

    We have a 5 acre calamansi farm, but it was a failure. Money lost. We have the same type of soil actually and our area is elevated as well. That's also the problem we've faced before. No proper care for the calamansi tree, grass growing around, etc. Lessons are learned the hardway. Like people, these plants needs tender love and care. Our area is still vacant as we think of its best use. In the meantime, study study study, so that next time it will be a success
