URBAN-AGRICULTURE powerpoint presentation

Introduction
Food consumed by urban dwellers mostly come
from far-off barangays/provinces, making food very
expensive. Total food expenditures at home is 43.9%
(based on the 1997 Family Income and Expenditures,
NSO) of the total home expenditures.
The introduction of “Urban Agriculture”, city
dwellers will have the chance to eat freshly harvested
fruits and vegetables. They no longer buy vegetables
since they grow it themselves. With this development;
food production will increase, it prevents hunger and
malnutrition and the volume of solid waste thrown out will
be reduced as some garbage materials will be recycled.

This approach helps promote strong family
relationships, ecological balance in urban living will be
practiced and it reintroduced the love of nature which city
dwellers have longed for.
One approach to Urban Agriculture is “Container
farming”. This refers to the use of recycled containers (a
project of Central Luzon State University). Container
farming can be done in any available space as long as it
has access to sunlight and air. Any individual, as long as
they have available space, can grow his own vegetable
garden. Any discarded containers can be used to hold the
growing medium like plastic bags, plastic caps, used tires,
hollow blocks.

Container farming has plus factors: it saves money,
helps green the city, it reduced air pollution prevents the
haphazard disposal of discarded containers, reduced the
volume of garbage by reusing these as recycled planting
containers. Organic garbage such as kitchen scraps or
anything that decays may be processed into compost,
which will be waste as growing medium. These can help
beautify the city, since all waste products are transformed
into reusable containers and growing medium.

Any individual who engages into container farming,
will be spiritually and emotionally invigorated. It gives the
grower a sense of purpose and a rewarding occupation to
those unemployed. Engaging into this activity, adds to the
welfare of the urban dwellers. With contained farming you
don’t just talk about improving the environment, you’re
actually doing something about it.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO
SUCCESSFUL COTAINER
FARMING
Planning Your Container Farm
1. Location
* Any location will do as long as it has access
to
a minimum of 6 hours sunlight each day.
* The amount of air movement and water
source are another factor to consider in
container gardening. Insufficient air move-
ment will cause the plants to get
waterclogged
and will induced the growth of fungus, that

2. Choosing what to plant
* One’s container farm is a microcosm of
vegetative
life on earth, it is very important to remember
that there should be “bio-diversity”. This
means,
that we should mimic how nature us with food.
- edible herbs
- vegetables - fruit bearing trees
- ornamental - medicinal plants

* A bio-diversified planting makes difficult for
insect
pests to attack one specific plant because some
plants harbor natural immunity and protective
capabilities against certain pests. Ex. Marigold
plant (ornamental) planted around a patch of broccoli,
cauliflower, carrots, eggplant, tomato, and
peppers
will ward off pests from attacking.
3. Diffirent types of vegetables
3.1 Leafy vegetables
Examples: Pechay Lettuce
Cabbage Mustard Sweet

3.2 Root or bulb crops
Example: Onion Radish Garlic
Carrots Sweet Potato
3.3 Beans
Example: Munggo String beans
Snow peas (chicharo)
3.4 Fuit Vegetables
Example: Eggplant Tomato Sweet
Pepper
Okra
3.5 Flower Vegetables
Example: Cauliflower Broccoli

3.6 Vine Fruits Vegetables
Example: Squash Cucumber Ampalaya
Upo Patola Sayote
3.3 Tree Fruits Vegetables
Example: Malungay Camansi

1. Sustainable
2. Recycling of animal plant wastes & residues
3. Self reliance in Production of inputs
4. Space intensive
5. Pest control
6. Elimination of pesticides health hazard
7. Improve nutrition
8. Labor intensive rather than capital intensive
9. Water conservation
10.Conserving of plant generic resources
11.Income generation
12.Risk free
13.Ecologically sound

 Ideal Soil Mixture:
(For loam soil) 1 part loam soil plus 1 part compost
(composted manure ) plus 1 part rice hull or coconut
coir dust.
(For clay soil) 1 part clay soil plus 2 parts compost
(composted manure) plus 1 part of rice hull or coir
dust.
4. Soil Medium
•Factors to be considered for a planting medium
 The growing medium must be porous
Have a good deal of air inside
Well – drained soil

5. Some source of soil
-river soil -garden soil
-organic commercial soil -compost soil
3 ways of making compost
Traditional method =3-4 month
Rapid method =3-4 weeks
Bio-Enriched Method =2-3 weeks

6. Choosing Containers
• In designing your container farm garden always keep
design goals in mind
• If goal is recycling and finding long term use for object
that was normally thrown out in the garbage, the following
can be used.
 native basket wares and wooden containers
Use households wares
Transform mineral water bottles into decorative pots
Glass and ceramic wares
Recycling tin cans
Recycling plastic gallon containers
Recycling old tires
Bamboo poles
Recycling gutters

Creating drainage holes in container:
All containers should have drainage holes to avoid
watercloging.
For tin cans: Make drainage holes 5-7.5 cm (2-3
in.) from the bottom of container. Fill the container with a
layer of small stones to create water reservoir which will
hold water in the container so that plants will have a
continuous supply of water. Fill the can with compost mix
until ¾ full.
For plastic gallon water: Cut plastic gallon bottle
in to 2 parts. Heat an ice pick over a flame . Use the ice
pick to punch holes 5 cm (2 in.) above the base of the
gallon. Wire the top portion of the plastic gallon and
punch holes around the neck

a. Recycling Tin cans
1. Soak cans in a basin of
water overnight Remove
label.
2. Make 3 drainage holes
5cm (2 in.) from the
bottom of the can.
Remove the top cover
with a can opener.
3. Brush the interior and
exterior with enamel paint
and let it dry.
4. Decorate as desired.

b. Recycling Plastic Gallon
Containers
1. Soak and clean the plastic
container with detergent and
bleach solution to remove all
residue.
2. Cut the top portion for a
wider surface area for
planting Leave the handle
attached to container
3. Use heated scissor of knife
to punch holes 5 cm. (2 in.)
from bottom of the container.
4. Use permanent markers to
draw designs or paint it with
enamel.

c. Recycling Old Tires to Grow Vines
Old tires can also be used in growing vine vegetables in a
Christmas-tree like trellis. Put the tires over plywood.
Anchor the bamboo poles by nailing wooden supports on
the bottom of the pole. The supports must be nailed to the
sides of the tires to anchor them properly to the bottom.
1. The bottom of the pole should be nailed to 2 pieces of
wood to be attached to the tire.
2. The GI wires should be nailed to the tires to serve as
trellis of the vine vegetables.
3. This type is suitable for small fruits vegetables with
small leaves like pipino, amplaya, kangkong and
kamote.

grow vines

d. Gutter in an A-Type Frame
Used gutters can be converted into planters. Retouch
used gutters by drilling drainage holes in 10 cm. (4 in.).
Intervals on the side along the length of the gutters., then
construct a frame holder with ball casters to make the gutter
garden mobile. This type of container should be watered
regularly as it holds very little soil.
You can plant an assortment of vegetables in an A-TYPE

e. Using Bamboo Poles to Grow Vine Vegetables
Bamboo pole may be used to grow vine vegetables like kangkong
kamote and alugbati
1. Make 4 drainage holes on top of each node of the bamboo ole.
2. Make a rectangular “windows” on top side of the top node. Position
each “windows” on the oppoiste side of the preceding bamboo node.
3. Nail the bottom of the pole on two pieces of wood forming an “X” for
support so that the pole can stand upright.

gallon nga tubig sa kada 6-7 ka kutsara sa ginalimg ug
binulad nga bulak.
Sagulan ang tinunaw sa pino kaayo nga hagkot ug malumoy nga
yuta ug ibomba ngadto sa daghang mananap.
Kamatis – pabukalon ang tubog dayon ilunod ang lindog ug dahon
pabugnawon. Ibomba para sa ulod ug sa itom o berde nga langaw.
Mao usab kini ang makaasdang sa un/maabot nga dangan.
Lantana Camara- Putlon ang sanga, ibulad sa init ug sunugon. Ibutang ang
abu ngadto sa dahon sa tanom aron masugpo ang mga
bakukang ug ulod.

Soro-Soro (Euphorbia Neciflora)- Gamiton ang
putting duga para masugpo ang dangan.
Mint- Oregano ug uban pang may baho ug
tambal nga tanom. Itum kini palibot sa garden.
Ang ilang isog nga baho maoy makapahawa sa
mga mananap. Kinig maong mga tanom
mahimo usab nga gamiton ug panakot o
tambal. Sa kada 100 ka metro kuwadrado
pagtanom sa 8-10 ka mari gold sa
kadaplinan ug isuklip sa pagtanom ang 20-
25 ka lusok sa ahos o sibuyas Bombay.
