we sourced our seedlings from Mr. Marasigan. his place is located along the winding road in antipolo... somewhere there...=) we got it for Php 10/ seedling. this includes, clearing of the planting area, planting of the seedlings and a 2 month verbal guarantee from the straight faced old man who i fondly call... tatay or tatang... of course his farm stories are for free. =)
the mahogany seedlings... 2,000 of them... and more to come.
what used to be weeds and wild grasses....
we will be planting it in a 2 x 2 m grid. but the option of making it 1 x 2 m or 1 x 1 m is still open... because i am thinking that just incase we harvest it next time for our own consumption or to generate some cash (i hope it does not get to this)....we could harvest the interplanted 1 m grid trees only and still have a thriving 2 x 2 m mahogany forest. =)
i also plan to interplant some eucalytus trees. and plant nymph and mangium trees along the perimeter. the leaves of the last two types of trees would be harvested as insect repelant and feed for goats respectively.
any suggestions?
