Planting more Hybrid Coconuts on the Cliff Section

Planting Hybrid Coconut Trees at West Cliff: A New Adventure!

Hey everyone! 🌴 Today, I’m excited to share our latest project at the West Cliff, where we’re diving into the world of hybrid coconut tree planting. It’s been a journey filled with planning, adjustments, and a sprinkle of creativity, and I can’t wait to fill you in on all the details!

The Layout Change

First off, let’s talk about the layout. We decided to reduce the distance between the trees from 9 meters to 8 meters. Why? Well, we wanted to maximize our space on the terrace-like slope of the cliff. By pushing for a triangular layout, we’ve managed to fit more trees into the area without compromising their growth potential. It’s all about making the most of what we have!

Sunlight Challenges

Now, here’s the catch: the 20-meter cliff above us means that sunlight will be a bit limited. With the growth on top of the cliff, we know our coconut trees might not get as much sun as they ideally need. But hey, we’re optimistic! We’ll take whatever sunlight we can get and adapt as the trees grow. After all, nature has a way of surprising us!

Planning for the Future

We’re also thinking ahead. As part of our layout, we’ve made sure to accommodate a future road into this section. This will not only make access easier but also help with maintenance down the line. And speaking of maintenance, we could really use some help here—if anyone has an excavator lying around, we’d love to borrow it! 😉

Erosion Control Efforts

On top of all that, we’re making strides in erosion control. We’ve started forming small natural retaining walls around the coconut trees. This is crucial because it helps stabilize the soil on the hill, allowing it to settle and increase nutrient content over time. Healthy soil means happy trees!

A New Landscape Awaits

Our ultimate goal is to create a beautiful new landscape that thrives in this unique environment. It’s a long-term vision, but we’re committed to nurturing these trees and watching them grow. Stay tuned for our next video clip, where we’ll share more about our progress and the exciting changes happening at West Cliff!

Thanks for following along on this journey with us. If you have any questions or tips about coconut tree planting, drop them in the comments! Let’s keep the conversation going! 🌱

How to Progress to a Simple Office Building

by admin

Life on the farm is always busy.

And we’re excited to share a small update about a recent Office Building development. We are in the process of converting our orchidarium into an administrative building. This might seem like a simple change, but it represents an important step in the growth and organization of our operations.

What will happen to our Orchids

Our beautiful orchids will find a new place where we can nurture them to create a serene environment filled with vibrant colors and refreshing scents. However, as our farm continues to expand, we realized the need for a dedicated space for our office and reception area.

Transitioning space to Improve Administration

Converting this space into an Admin Building will allow us to streamline our administrative tasks and better serve our visitors. While this change may not be particularly groundbreaking, it is another important module in the puzzle of our farm’s development. Having a centralized location for our administrative work will enhance communication and efficiency, making it easier for us to manage our activities and connect with customers and partners. As we work on this renovation, we are excited about the opportunities it will bring. We anticipate that the new administrative building will not only improve our operations but also create a welcoming space for those who come to visit us.

Overall, this update is just one of many steps we are taking to ensure the sustainability and success of our farm in the long run.

We look forward to sharing more updates as our project progresses!

From Rain-Soaked to Safe and Sound!

New compartments for our feathered companions.

Hey everyone! It’s been a wild week here on the farm, and I’m excited to share some updates about our feathered friends.

First up, the chicklets! Remember those adorable little guys we were raising? Well, they’ve finally got their own two walkout compartments! It was a long time coming, and we lost a few little ones to the harsh weather. Rain and wind, you’re no match for our chicklets now! We have 7 in total, 4 native chickens and 3 “monster chickens” (they’re just a bit bigger, haha!). They’re all safe and sound now, and I can’t wait to see them grow up.

Speaking of growth, our pabos have a new compartment too! Their mom wasn’t exactly the best at taking care of them, and we lost 8 little ones. We built a second compartment to give them some extra space and hopefully a little more protection. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that this new setup will help them thrive.

It’s been a lot of work, but it’s so rewarding to see our little flock growing and thriving. We’re taking it one week at a time, and we’re excited to see what the future holds for our feathered friends!

What do you think of our new compartments? Do you have any tips for raising chicks? Let me know in the comments!

When Nature Decides to Redecorate, Part 2

A Tale of Landslides, Floods, and Grass That’s Out to Get You Ah, nature!

The ultimate interior designer, always ready to throw a surprise party with a side of chaos. Picture this: a quaint little creek, minding its own business, suddenly decides to channel its inner Niagara Falls. Cue the landslide and flood damage! It’s like Mother Nature looked at our peaceful pathway and said, “Boring! Let’s wash it away!” The Great Flood of the Small Creek Our beloved creek, once a gentle trickle, transformed into a raging river faster than you can say “waterlogged.” If you’re looking for a scenic detour, you’ve found it! Just be careful not to take a wrong step—unless you fancy a swim in the muddy abyss or enjoy a fall into the pit of hell, which is 30 feet deep and dark. There will be no escape from that tomb.

Grass That’s Gone Rogue

And let’s not forget the grass! Oh, the grass! It’s grown to a staggering 6 meters tall—that’s taller than your average giraffe! It’s as if the grass decided to audition for a role in a jungle movie. Who knew that a little rain could turn our farm into a scene from “Jumanji”? If you’re looking for a new hiding spot, this grass is the perfect camouflage. Just don’t forget to bring a map and bolo; you might get lost in there!

The Great Green Wall

You thought you were entering a lush paradise, but surprise! It’s more like a botanical version of a lost in the desert. Every step forward feels like a battle against a wall of leaves that seems to have a personal vendetta against you.

Conclusion: Embrace the Chaos

So, what’s the takeaway from this delightful disaster? Nature has a sense of humor, and sometimes it likes to remind us who’s really in charge. Whether it’s a washed-out pathway or grass that’s plotting to take over the world, let’s embrace the chaos and enjoy the wild ride. After all, who needs a perfectly manicured lawn when you can have a rainforest right outside your door, when God is in charge?

Tubers of Terror: A Cassava Comedy

by admin

Alright, folks, let’s talk tubers! Not the kind you find in a bathtub, mind you, but the kind that grow underground and make you go “Hmmm… should I eat this?” We’re talking cassava, those rooty, starchy fellas that come in two flavors: bitter and sweet.Now, before you go thinking these are the perfect picnic snack, let’s get real. Cassava, in its raw form, is a bit of a party pooper. It’s got cyanide lurking in its flesh, like a tiny, toxic party crasher.

But fear not, my friends! Cooking is the key to unlocking cassava’s potential. A good ol’ fashioned heat treatment will banish those nasty cyanides, leaving you with a delicious and (hopefully) non-lethal treat.

So, next time you’re craving a rooty adventure, remember: cassava is a wild ride, but with a little heat, it can be a tasty one.

And hey, if you’re feeling adventurous, try a cassava smoothie. Just make sure you blend it really, really well. You don’t want any surprises in your drink, do you? 😉
