My Own Ecological Orchard

by | 01-07-2013 01:25 recommendations 0

The climate of my city Loja it's temperate humid equatorial, so me and my family were thinking in having an Orchard because of the climate of my city Loja we can plant a lot species of plants, so we decide to do it, but I propose to my family to make an Ecological Orchard, we want that with this orchard we can enjoy natural food, and we do it in a natural way so we are helping to reduce the contamination in our city.

Frist I bought organic fertilizer that I mixed with the soil, and then I make the holes to plant the plants I was searching information on the internet for maintain the orchard in an ecological way, so I start to recollect all the organic garbage to use it like organic fertilizer that as you know have a lot of benefits like recovered the soil organic of the land, allow the carbon fixation on the soil and also improve the ability to absorb the water given us fresh and natural products.

Also to maintain the plants healthy we need to control the plagues, and I was searching on the internet ecological ways to control the plagues with organics pesticides, and I found easy ways to prepare organic pesticides so I bought some plants and I made my own pesticide, to make a pesticide I had to bought one onion, one garlic and I have to take 2 liters of water, to prepare I had to peel and cut the onion and  the garlic, and also triturate, then I mixed with the two litters of water and I had to wait that pass one week but all the mix in a closed bottle, and then finally I percolate the mix and it was ready to use it like pesticide the benefits of this pesticide it's that don't contaminate the water or the land, don't contaminate the plants and improvement the quality of the crops.

Finally I found a way to provide of water to the plants when it's summer, and without using too much water, you just have to use the half part of a plastic bottle of 5 lt. and a bottle of 500 ml. then you have to make a little hole at a side of the plant and put the little bottle in, you fill with water and then you put the big bottle over the little one, but don't cover the plant, the idea it's to recreate the cycle of the water to provide of water to the plants as the temperature increases, so the water evaporates and go to the top of the big bottle and then fell in the land providing the plants with water.
