It's not malunggay as what you expected but it's Chinese malunggay belonging to a different species and even genus. It is known in Tagalog as Binahian, scientifically known as Sauropus androgynus (Linn.) Merr., English name is STAR GOOSEBERRY, and chinese name is Mani cai.However, it's medicinal. Leaves are an excellent source of provitamin A, vitamins B and C, proteins and mineral. Its protein content is higher than most other leafy
vegetables; the mature leaves having more nutrients than the young
leaves.

Congrat's to your Mom, edbcleofe.

what I do is boil the bark and leaves... about 7 fresh leaves (if not available then dried is fine) and a small piece of bark in a ceramic pot filled with more or less 5 glasses of water...

I make my own FAA... if you have access to fish innards,gills, bones and other discards from a market near you place then you can also produce FAA... molasses can be substituted with brown sugar... here is the detailed link of how to make FAA and other concoctions..

problema ko rin po iyon dahil it used to be that one trying hydroponics must by the material ingredients by volume - not inexpensive for a hobbyist. I wish today there are already pre mixed solutions for use.

Perhaps three of four retiring executives will buy a piece of land, divide it among themselves in proportion to a share in the cost. Then hire one caretaker and then go to the farm together in just one vehicle. Perhaps a rest house can be in the center where kamote can be grilled and coffee can be brewed. If one gets tired of the his farm, he can sell it to his partners or to someone they know.

Two very important item not discussed are the size and the price per square meter.
I would say for a retiree, the size should be enough fit for his desired activities. And it would be balanced by the price per square meter. If the retiree is in Metro Manila, he may want to be in his farm in 90 minutes or so so he can return home before 6pm. Thus, his farm may be somewhere in Imus, or Montalban, or Bulacan . The farther he gets the less expensive the farm will be. It will be interesting if you can suggest places and prices and sizes for the people desiring to get to retirement farming.

You may try the Simple Nutrient Addition Program (SNAP). The technology was developed by Dr. Santos together with Dr. Eureka Teresa M. Ocampo of UPLB. This is supported by the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR).

Exactly correct we can't live long If we don't change our food preferences from inorganically produced to organically prepared food from the farms to the processors down to the consuming public both for the poor and the wealthy people here and abroad.DR. VIc Rustia
