I am not talking about the ripeness of the vermicompost or the finish product-worms casting , I am talking about the food that need to feed the worms it had to be composted before feeding them, it work very fast in this way.

News: another type of Composting using Bacteria , was more faster
Coz Bacteria double X2 every 20min

VS

Two pounds of worms, approximately 2000 of them, will eat one pound of compost every 48 hours

Hey,Friend, share u experience here,what u hear?u friend/parent story?

Let me start with my grandma story first.

In the old days, my mum's family was very poor, grandpa is a carpenter and can barely make enough to sustain the family(make RM10 daily, some 40 years ago). So grandma decide to do something to help things out, she started planting vegetables in front of the house, and discovered that she can make even more(RM10+ daily), and so she rented a small piece of land(unknown acre, likely 1-2 acres), work everything out by family labor, including clear land, make tillage, cangkul soil, etc. And they they start making a life by planting vegetables.

My grandma vegetables were selling very well in the local market - she sell them in her own stall and very often, her vege finished up early.

Grandma consistency and hard work has earn her enough not only to raised her family of 10 children, they are also able to purchase a land(the land lady see them doing very well in farming vegetables, and trying to raise their rental)and then later had enough to purchase construction material and they build their own house there(grandpa is a skillful carpenter), and then, grandpa obtain his driving license and since then they deliver the vege to the local market with a van.

My uncles including two investors, one lawyer, one ACCA, one GM, and I can say, MOST of the are millionaires. All came from a humble small farm.

The farm land is now a wire mesh factory, operated by my uncles, grandma no longer need to go into planting vegetables but enjoying her retirement.

And hence i absolutely convinced that farming with hard work and the right way will not only bring you a promising future, but it is a wealthy and promising future.

Yeah, there is another agri magazine recommend to compost with bacteria too rather with worms. I was trying to find out what is the difference between regular compost and worm compost(rather then having a bit of extra protein supply).

I have read about a method to cultivate vegetable on elevated bed/tray, the method is similar to the strawberry farms in cameron highland, but they put compost on the tray and even practice crop rotation on the elevated compost. It is said that by keeping away from the soil, you can prevent a number of diseases.

A friend has told me about a farmer from Kelantan "gantung" all his chili up, coz to prevent soil borne disease.

Mmm.... Just got back from Cameron Highlands. Was not very impressed with most of the farms. The only thing that really impressed me was how they managed to keep the hill zone farms functional despite the steepness of the slope. Oh, and also the orang asli village.

Interesting note about the rain borne disease part. Yet seeing how countries like Thailand, China, and Indon can produce high quality perishable produce with rain-feeding method tells somethings else... Well ya, they do use heavy amounts of chemicals, but that's what you get from the Green Revolution.

Strawberries... Not very true... Commercial trials have already shown success in cultivating strawberries in lowland areas. Kelantan has shown good results. Same thing with grapes. Almost anyone you ask would tell you grapes need to be cultivated under cooling weather, when in reality grapes has part of its cultivation origin traced to Egypt. I've grown both grapes and strawberries in Sepang on a hobby scale, and they have born good fruits. If anyone knows Sepang well enough, they would know how scorching hot it can be.

Speaking of the elevated bed/tray method, saw that too at Cameron. Vegetables looked really nice, but as bro Chinchillas pointed out, they really managed the inputs very well to get those results.

To me, I would be in favour of something like that. Not because of disease or anything like that, but more of control and management. It is far more easier and efficient to do quality control on your produce if done that way. Right from the start, you are delivering equal inputs to all your crops, assuming you're using crop of uniform profiles of course.

Change is inevitable; to move forward, change must happen. Isaac Newton once stated that no one can be a mere observer, for even the observer is a participant of a given system. No one observes something without imprinting an effect on that thing, and thereby changing it.

Strawberry farm in Sepang? Where got strawberry farm in Sepang? That is in Kelantan lar..... The Sepang one (Selangor) was my own hobby planting, and no they were not excessively sour, nor were they extremely sweet. Still good nonetheless.

The sweetness/quality of fruit can be manipulated under the right conditioning, eg. fertilizer inputs, soil pH, water KH, solar intensity etc. Of course, it is easier to cultivate certain crops if the right conditions are available at hand, then there are just a few parameters to play with. But if given no such easily available conditions, then the modern agriculturist has to get the crop to adapt, or adapt themselves to the conditions.

Just one example, cocoa. In the past, every planter swore that cocoa is a shade crop, requiring minimal shade reduction over time, and if exposed to too much sunlight, will not thrive. Why? Simply because cocoa was from the Amazon rainforest, and grew amongst the midland forest regions where light intensity was at median. However in Tawau, cocoa is planted bare, without shade trees, and yet they are one the highest cocoa producing places in the world, and they produce some of the finest cocoa in the world too. How could this be? The agriculturist who did it made the crop adapt; That same agriculturist also adapted as well.

Hi there, I've been reading about the worm breeding and I was wondering where to start? I have 2 frens going for the course, 1 on the 19th and 1 on the 22nd. But I would really like to have a look at the farm myself first to get a clearer picture? Anyone willing to let me see your earthworm farm. Kindly PM me your e-mail or contact number. I'm planning to start this project next week. The IT market is bad, why not we make our money in breeding worm, after all we don't have to monitor them 24/7 still got time to go leveling if anyone playing online game

Hmmm.... Tawau cocoa is regarded the best in the Asian region lei.. in terms of production, it is ranked 3 after Cote d'Ivore and Ghana.

Maybe the reason why many Malaysians dont know the quality of Tawau cocoa is because it is largely used in high grade stuff, especially the cocoa butter.
