Basic Composting II: Composting Kitchen Waste with Bokashi
We all produce kitchen wastes. Instead of sending them to landfills with our garbage, we can easily compost them for use in our garden. Composting kitchen wastes can be a little tricky to do especially with the wandering cats and pests that we might attract to the compost pile. To avoid having to deal with this, I settled on Bokashi Composting for our kitchen scraps. Using Bokashi bran, you will ferment your kitchen scraps before...

A Water Dish and Bird Baths in the Garden
It’s 32 degrees Celsius in Lucena, this Saturday afternoon of May. It looks really hot outside and a glass of ice cold water sounds very nice. Before sitting in my computer, I caught a glimpse of a young bird, a Eurasian Sparrow, staring curiously at the water dish in my balcony. Another bird soon came, a Yellow-vented Bulbul, and it went straight to the dish like it’s part of his daily routine and started taking a bath....
Growing Basil in Lucena City
Basil is one of the best herbs to grow when you’re a first-time gardener. You can grow them easily in pots or directly in the ground. You can also let the soil dry-out a little before watering again, about 2-4 days for me with the help of mulch depending on the weather and location. When I was first starting a garden, I was told not to grow the seedlings directly under full sun saying it gets too hot in Lucena, especially if...
