It was over five months ago when we had our first trip to Mulao, Compostela. On that trip, we took a survey of the prospective site for our demo farm on organic farming. And it was the height of dry season and the searing heat of the sun baked the soil and caused shallow-rooted plants to wilt. A sight remisniscent of a great drought during the early 80’s.
Nonetheless, I was impressed and others seemed impressed too. Not by the wilting plants and the cracking topsoil now heavily dessicated as a result of intense heat that scorched everything on earth. However, as a farmer, I can tell if the soil is rich in essential nutrients needed for the crops to grow well, judging on the kind of weeds growing in it. So I readily concluded that Mulao could be a great site for our demo farm.
On September 8, a Saturday, we had the chance to visit Mulao, Compostela again. This was our second trip to Mulao in over five months.
