I visited to trainee's farm.
In this place, he is planting zuccini, lettuce, sayote and pechay.
And Another trainee is planting romeaine lettuce, basil, dill, and chrysamtymum.
This area is called shilan.
I know some farmers in shilan.
This area is better place to farm.
Because there are road until near farm.
And they have wide area even it is on mountain.
They have 2,000 square meter or more.
It's already wide area in highland. Because of mountain region.
Those trainees are using chicken dung, mushroom compost
and carbonated rice hull to their garden.
They don't use commercial fertilizer.
But they are producing good vegetable.
And they have a market in baguio.
They don't hire labors.
Their family is taking care of their farm.
They are not using commercial fertilizer,
so their vegetable is not so big. Even though,
they are selling to the market.
Their vegetable is safe.
Because they told me they spray once a month.
I think the soil is very good.
They don't need to apply fertilizer, and also not so much spraying.
Maybe it is new land.
Even now they can produce good vegetable,
they have to take care of their soil using organic matter, and also crop rotation.
...
I hope they will have wonderful experience in Japan.
Of course they need to learn japanese and also to know other culture.
