NU 12 by Anton Pantoja - organic vegetable farm

Hi Prof Jorge,

Our family eats a lot of vegetables.  My father is practically a vegetarian.  We have a small garden at the back of our house that has ornamental plants.  My idea is to convert our garden into a small organic farm.  The biodegradable substances from our kitchen can be turned into compost and in turn be used as fertilizer for the  farm.  I was thinking of planting high turnover vegetables in one section of the garden first like malunggay, tomatoes, corn, okra, sayote.  Another section could house the kalabasa, string beans, upo, and other vine vegetables.  After the first harvest , I'm thinking of planting fruit bearing trees like kalamansi, papaya, banana lacatan, banana saba, which we also buy from the grocery.  We can use our harvest for our own food supply instead of buying from the grocery, whose produce are chock full of fertilizers and insecticides.  3

Thank you.
