Does Mulching or Composting Exist in the Philippines?
I feel alone. I generally give my best effort so that I can process my kitchen scraps and other biodegradable materials like paper. From the various garden blogs, I've learned to mulch with plastic, paper and leaf litter. In fact, I enjoy the topic so much that my Google Reader is filled to the brim with subscriptions about these topics. But you know what's strange? About 90% of the stuff I read are from the US and Canada. How strange is that? I know for a fact that there are tons of Filipino blogs. Mostly though, I encounter these blogs when I look for recipes, vacations and complaints about telco providers. What about worms?
On the other hand, there are those nice people that buy my little starter worm bins. I know they're making an effort to make use of stuff that unnecessarily swell our landfills. I read occasional articles on the broadsheets about some farmer success stories. I just wish there was more. Now I'm a fairly timid person so I just give a pained look whenever I see leaf litter being hauled to garbage cans or being burned. Sigh. Maybe they're out there. You know, I really dislike social occasions; I think big dinners are boring. Part of it I guess is that people never talk about recycling, composting or energy conservation. It's always work, politics and travel. Snooze-fest.
Oh well. Maybe it's not my time yet. Until then, I'll keep avoiding social events to the best of my abilities.
