Parcel 6, AMonth Later.

It's been a month since we had started planting. We had almost finished planting the first lot. Did a checked and did a fertilization run. Our terrace method, planting style and technique had improved. Most of the plant-lets are looking healthy, except for approximately 60 plant-lets that had died off. Shall be needing about 120 to 150 more plant-lets to replace and plant some remaining area. By maximizing the plants per acre, we hope to get a higher yield. Banana had also been planted for a quarter of the lot.

We also took this opportunity to start trimming the branches as the plant were growing well. Only a couple of the pumpkin sprouted. We are also exploring what other crops we can plant on the edges of the terrace. Banana, papaya, sweet potatoes, groundnuts, pumpkin, chilli are some of the plants under consideration.

There are about 45 old rubber trees here. We shall be using it as a training and testing trees. We managed to do two test run and obtained about Five kilos of rubber clumps.

 Overall I think the results so far is very encouraging. Looking forward to our next maintenance sometime in December. In the mean time, am looking into planting more cash crops.
