auf der Erde

Suddenly, it’s getting hot today. It reaches 30 degrees compare to past days, was 27-28 degrees. Onions are growing, but also weeds are growing too. I don’t dislike weeds, however they sometimes disturb main plants on farm. they cut sunshine and get space and fertility. We should control growth of weeds, not totally remove. I believe weeds have also benefits for crops. There is nothing unnecessary on the earth at all.

We gave fermented liquid fertilizer to onion. This liquid was given by my friend. This is for experiment. However, when I used before, I observe good effect to plants. I hope it will be good effect to onion growth.

It’s cold in tarlac now. it was just 20 degrees in this morning. And it’s dry season,, world is getting drier and drier.. though, our plants are growing. … I’m thinking if less chemical production is acceptable to consumers in the Philippines. Less chemicals, also no pesticides, are still safe for humans. Agriculture is aim to produce foods for people. It is much better if foods are supplied to people as much as possible. However, we must produce foods for human healthy life, not for giving sickness. … I understand how good is organically production. I need to try to materialize independent farming from chemicals.

We transplanted onion seedlings. This is red onion. I’m expecting to harvest on April. I hope they will grow well :)

Weeds are strong. I am removing weeds for onion seedlings. If you don’t care safety for foods, you can use herbicide. It’s easier, but might be affecting to us and the nature. Onion is growing slowly, but growing surely.

タマネギの種まき。 種をまくだけでなんだか満足した気分になってしまいます。無駄に。 敵は動物。ニワトリ、犬がやってきます。 他にもいろいろな動物が…。

おコメの隣でタマネギの苗床作り。 とうとう、小型管理機の導入です。借り物。 野菜畑っぽい土になっています。
