Implementación de la práctica
I develop the tree seedlings on a seedbed ( some of the seeds I buy while majority I produce on-farm)
I use organic manure and use potting bags and recycled products
for the seedlings
In terms of water use, I have a small water pan that I use for rain water harvesting that I later use for the practice.
In terms of market access, I sell the seedlings locally and sometimes in outside markets. I also plant some on my farm
