Davao City waste management has open the consciousness of Dabawenyos on segrating their waste segrating it as residual ,compostable,and  recycable. Housewives, school children,and almost  all sectors in Davao City are  aware now of these ordinance  from the city government.

Only residuals are being collected,while compostables are left at home for their compost pit. Many also are starting  to use vermi to compost their compostable waste which turn into organic fertilizer.

Vermi is big help to maintain the cleanliness of our environment aside from  making our soil rich and fertile again. It is big help to our waste management the moment we start vermi culture.

Organic Biological Farming of Blueberry Plants

By Harold Stewart

Introduction

Blueberries are the most widely grown fruit crop in the United States. Blueberries are well-suited to organic culture, and good markets exist for organically grown blueberries. To return the soil to good health is the means to growing healthy flavorful blueberries.

Compost

Great compost is the cornerstone of a nutrition package for the soil. To achieve optimal results and better crops use a combination of homemade compost and compost tea.

Vermi-compost (worm castings or composting with worms)

Vermi-compost or worm-compost is a fine source of reliable compost that is biologically full of life to start a brew of compost tea. Vermi-compost is made from worms who feed on the compost. Earthworms will turn organic material into very high quality compost full of many beneficial micro-organisms. The most common types of earthworms used for vermicomposting are brandling worms (Eiseniafoetida) and redworms or red wigglers (Lumbricusrubellus). Many garden centers such as Wal-Mart usually supply them. The micro-organisms in worm castings favor healthy plant growth. And the worm castings don't contain any disease pathogens. As the worms process the organic matter any pathogenic bacteria in the compost bin are dependably killed in the worms' gut. This is one of the big benefits of vermicomposting.

Aerated Compost tea

One of the most important components of a good organic program is aerated compost tea. This tea, when produced properly, will introduce necessary biology into your field. Aerated Compost Tea has become the standard within the organic industry in regards to compost teas. Aerobically made compost tea is a concentrated liquid of active beneficial microorganisms, organic compounds, and soluble nutrients. An organic fertilizing system uses compost tea which is at the heart of a good organic fertilization system. The inoculums (biological material) used for the tea is worm compost from worms who feed on the compost.

Aerobically brewed compost tea is teeming with live useful microorganisms, and is the most excellent way to supply the soil with nutrients and these valuable microorganisms and maintain a vigorous and healthy soil, which is the solution to healthy plants. Healthy soil is one that is full of beneficial microorganisms that are active and responsible for producing healthy plants. This makes plants more able to fight pest and disease, which makes them more fruitful and able to endure extremes in temperature and humidity.

Aerobically made compost tea is a practical alternative to growing with chemicals

Aerobically made compost tea offers ecologically and economically sound answers to problems faced by farmers due to chemical build ups in fields and in ground water sources. Compost tea also as helps the farmer to overcome chemicalization problems. Some of the benefits include healthier plants, increased yield, less irrigation necessary, and more resistance to stress and drought situations. These benefits have been seen in many places of the world including all across the U.S.,

We can repair the mistreatment to our surroundings from toxic pollution caused by a long use of harmful chemical applications has created. Using compost tea is among the safest, most successful and most direct way to get away from and disengage from the negative blow from using chemical pesticides, herbicides, and man-made fertilizers.

Compost Tea can be is useful at five gallons to an acre. It is about impossible to apply too large an amount or too often. If there are food sources are on hand in the soil, a single application of tea will give huge profit for months or even years after. The application of compost tea helps in the establishment of a true sustainable soil environment.

Frequency of Use

The rate of use is reliant upon a number of factors, the soil in the region, the specific plant and its vulnerability to disease. Weather environment and other factors may also be involved. You cannot over use compost tea. One example of application is to make three applications each year.

In the early spring use a soil drench just before planting before the blueberry plants come out of dormancy.

Mid-summer as the blueberry plants flower out you can use foliar spray. This foliar spray helps protect the foliage and nourish the plant.

Late fall after spreading sawdust or other mulch cover to the blueberry beds. This late fall application, along with worms in the soil, will help the compost to be digested and the nutrients will be acquired the soil by spring.

Grow your own Blueberries and other plants using these methods.

Purchase your pesticide free blueberry plants from a reputable nursery. Two year old plants are usually you most cost-effective purchase. They will start producing fruit in a year and continue to mature over the next 5 years producing more and more blueberries.

Summary

Using these methods you can improve your soil and grow more healthy plants and fruit. Blueberry growers like Bob Wilt of Sunset Valley Organics have seen dramatic improvement in the production and quality of the blueberries they grow.

Earthworm Castings Organic Fertilizer

Earthworm Castings Organic Fertilizer is an all purpose natural fertilizer that comes to you straight from nature with no alterations whatsoever. These night crawlers are fed a very rich humus which contains a wide variety of minerals and trace elements. The earthworms digest this material and in its' passage through the worm, it is beneficially altered both chemically and physically. The end product is "super humus" which is extremely fertile top soil properly conditioned for best root growth, containing in rich proportion and water soluble form, all the elements required of the earth for optimum plant nutrition.

Earthworm castings, as stated, contain rich proportions of water soluble nutrients. This is a primary reason for being able to provide incredible results. earth worms allows plants to quickly and easily absorb all essential nutrients and trace elements. This is possible because the earthworm grinds and uniformly mixes the nutrients and trace elements in simple forms, so plants need only minimal effort to obtain them. This is not the case with most other natural fertilizers. Though they may have many nutrients and/or higher analysis, the ability of plants to optimally use them is limited because they are not broken down to the degree in which the earthworm is able to provide them.

As well as an abundance of available nutrients, earth worms also provides a perfect mix of nutrients that are not readily available, but present for long term nutritional needs. This allows plants to feed as needed for weeks and months at a time, depending on the plant.
