AGRI CONNECTIONS

In our ardent desire to find ways and means to really develop Patty's Farm, we go around meeting people of consequence. Specially those who knows anything and everything about farming.
I haven't touched the end of a harrow or plow for more than 30 years(and that was when i was just a teenager trying to help the family survive) so there is virtual lack of experience and knowhow. But what i do not have and know, i try to make up for it with internet surfing, researching and asking.
Today we asked for help at the city agriculture office. I was given some information that are useful indeed, but more importantly i was asked to go and see FITS (Farmers Information Training Services) here.
Not only is the office head a schoolmate in highschool, she too is into vermiculture! I finally found one expert who is doing it herself, and we managed to find common grounds with endless hours of information exchanging. Time flies when one shares common interests indeed.
FITS also provided us with cuttings of Madre de Agua, which i have been searching for a long time. Now we can reproduce and plant these in Patty's Farm together with our collections of many other legumes and plants for our animals. This plant is a known high nutrient legume that the ruminants like goats like so much.
She too provided us with compost boosters trichonderia for our compost making in Tinagacan. Our desire and goal for natural farming is moving forward.
It has been a good productive day!!!
