A friend here in Davao had a problem with his plants, such
as with arugula or Kale or tomatoes -
all things that he had brought as seeds from home. These plants did not want to "get on their feet",
did not grow. They were quite different from his other vegetables taken from
the local, Philippine countryside.
He brooded. Then he found out that the higher UV radiation here in Davao,
directly on the equator, could be the reason. So he looked for a spot on his
garden wall, which was not directly in the sun - there he made his VERTICAL
garden with plastic bottles. A garden on the wall.
And he added a
"water-saving idea", because he wanted that the water will flood each plastic bottle after the
other. So the water drips through all plastic bottles.
The first result is impressive: A tomato plant has developed the
first small tomato. Soon there will hopefully be more….
With best regards,
Ludwig from Davao
