So
you understand: only mulching is not sufficient at Curaçao. Best
would be to use wood chips, a layer of 12 cm (5”). Because I don't
have wood chips, I had to find a way using materials I do have.
I
have a large poly bag, it can last at least a year in the sun. I cut
it and laid the parts on the soil.
In
this way the soil can stay moist a little longer.
For
two hours I pump air through the water, using a fish-tank-pump. The
water is passing an 'emploder', existing of two vortex shapes and two
magnets. This makes the water more lively. Then I add bokashi compost
and epson salt to the water. This makes the water comparable to
rainwater.
This
water mixture I use to wet the soil several times before planting.
Then I planted Tayer leaves (Tahitian Spinach, Xanthosoma
brasilense).
Next
time: more plants and more on the emploder.
Kind
regards, Salomon, Eco-village SOL
