My Favorite Christian Music From 1994

I've finally done the task of compiling my favorite Christian songs for my MP3 player on my pc. I'm ecstatic to share the songs and I hope my friends would love listening to these songs again from 1994-1996. Enjoy!

In Your Presence by Marty Nystrom

Such Joy

Speak to One Another

As High as the Heavens

Don't Grow Weary

We'll Be Faithful

Broken Spirit

Ever Let It Be

I Love to Be With You

More of You

In Christ Alone

Humming to.. "Such joy... such unspeakable joy.. such peace.. everlasting peace.." :)

Vermiculture How-To: A New Venture

Finally I can write my article on vermiculture composting, which I should have done in February when I started the regular habit of gathering compost materials. I've had this blog entry put on hold due to the long wait for the red wrigglers . Without those, this article would have served no purpose. And so, here I am :)
Since our town felt the brunt of Mother Nature from previous typhoons over the years - with unforgettable names such as Cosme, Pepeng and Juan - I began to think of small ways in helping save our planet. I believe that if each small earth-saving practice is done in every home, we can contribute largely to our earth's improvement. One way is proper waste disposal of our green materials which include fruit and vegetable peels and other scraps to prepare compost and/or compost food for the red wrigglers (African Nightcrawlers) Here is my simple step-by-step process:
We will need...

1.Green materials such as fruit and vegetable peels (limiting citrus peels), fresh grass, cow manure. These green materials are usually green or colorful and wet. They provide the nitrogen of the compost to grow and reproduce more organisms to oxidize the carbon.
2. Brown materials such as wood shavings, sawdust or dried banana leaves. These provide the carbon content of the compost.
The ratio suggested for the compost is one part nitrogen and 30 parts carbon (1:30) to keep the balance. Weighing the materials is necessary to get the right mix.
These are the green materials which we get from the market...




... adding also some from the kitchen scraps we have at home.


These are the brown materials: wood shavings we can get from the nearby furniture shop. We take extra care to remove sharp edges and nails from the pile before we mix them in.


Occasionally, we add torn scraps of paper...



(...hehe, that's me right there, mixing the greens and browns. This is the "tough" part as my vegetable vendor-friend at the market would grimace whenever I pick-up their market scraps. )


Important: After mixing them thoroughly, don't forget to pour right amount of water on the mix to speed up decomposition. Add some decomposed mixture if you have some .

After mixing, tie the sack tight enough, place a plastic mat or tarp underneath to keep them ants away. Wait for 2 weeks to decompose.



Eventually it's best to keep the sacks under the shade away from heat and sunlight. Occasionally, within the two-week span, open the sacks from time to time for proper aeration.

Our Second Batch Of Red Wrigglers From The Municipal Agriculture

Woo-hoo! We are blessed!

Just this morning, brought about by some drive in me, I was anxious to get to the bottom of this so-called "irregular government practices" that we thought of giving it a go again and visit the local agriculture departments. I can't really say for certain about the issue as we only got second-hand information that agriculture LGUs have no red wrigglers or worms for composting.

So there, without further plans and just a spur-of-the-moment visit, hubby and I went back to all those LGUs and requested for what we need, even planning to negotiate on purchasing just half a kilo of the red wrigglers if we get disapproved.

First stop was the neighboring town's agriculture office. Sad, they closed by 2:00 PM because they simply had to leave early. "Your taxes are working for you" rang in my head.

So we went to our own local agriculture department next. It was quite a surprise really, the department head and all employees were in today on a Friday! Apparently it's their salary day, and good for us, they were so generous! The head of agriculture was kind to write us a note of approval so we can pick-up our "first" batch of red wrigglers (African Night crawlers). He approved our request for 30 pieces. And when we got to the Municipal Nursery we were given much more, around 50! Now that is surprising!

I am just as excited to try my hand in this vermiculture business by beginning small. I'm still considering it as an experiment if we can make them grow and multiply sooner. Once again, I will keep you greenie folks posted with my worm composting how to articles.
