Converting a convetional farm to a natural farm is not an easy task.
But for sure, it's worth the effort.

Concrete Raised Beds

It was trial and error in building this plot. We had to choose the right size of rubble to be stacked in order for the structure to be stable. So far, no problems were encountered in this area. It even got hit by 2 typhoons already. The area has a slanted plane which enables proper drainage so there are no issues in terms of flooding (Remember that this was a gestating house for the pigs before so water drainage was designed already).  

Each plot measures 1 meter x 20 meters with plastic mulch.  This area will be housing a total of 8 plots. Marigold will be planted in the surrounding area.
