FROM FISHPOND TO FRUIT FARM! Clearing Our Land In Mindanao

[@clint1261]

So happy to see you out with the family. Means more than anything else you'll do there. Family is everything.

[@jakeperey8032]

Nice to see you as a family man. What a beautiful family. keep it up!

[@catbalins]

I love how your wife is always smiling and has a great sense of humor! Her energy is like yours...warm, playful and humble. You have a beautiful family.

[@nicdel347]

I love seeing you adapted to a provincial way of life (not easy to do and not all Filipinos like it) so proud of you Kumander! God bless you and your family ❤

[@sailorjohnv2473]

Filipinos are hard workers. I'm always impressed with how long they can keep working in heat.

[@johnblenkiron5126]

This brought back memories of hillside farming which I set my hand to in my past. It took a creative approach to take advantage of the various land features and the use of anchoring vegetation to minimize soil erosion. Figuring out access tracks to wheel the crops often seemed like the greatest challenge until I learned to trust the wisdom of the farmers who harvested the nearby land for many generations. God bless all farmers.

[@esperanzagilpo2714]

You must be a generous person,feeding your workers and keeping them satisfied,May you have good returns in all that you plan to do.Keep safe and May you resolve your shoulder injury/pain.More power.

[@bencyellorin7874]

You can designate a place to have these cut plants rot and please minimize burning. Also, do contouring in slopes to preserve the fertile topsoil.

[@DannyArangale]

The best vlog ive watched. So natural and it features the normal Filipino daily routine in the provinces

[@JohnPaulSacramento]

nice farm and and nice farm house very simple and real , i appreciate foreigners that are grateful for what they have here in the Philippines and not always complaining on just anything. good to hear that your shoulders haven't got severe injury and are getting better now, take good care of your self always, your wife and lily still needs you, so don't push your self too much just for the vlog its not worth the risk if you can't do another vlog or can't be with your family because of an accident.

[@rudyhenderson5002]

My wife has a fruit farm in N. Mindanao also. We grow mostly mangosteen trees. Mangosteen trees grow "true to type", very wind resistant and profitable. We also grow durian and avocado trees. These trees lack the wind resistant however.

[@joodeki]

I know it rains a lot in the Philippines, but are you into permaculture at all? If possible, you can build a small pond in the area to create an ecological system that works with nature. For example, the pond could have frogs to eat up the bugs in the area, and attract birds to prey on the frogs and the bugs. The pond could also serve as a water storage for really long periods of dryness (water which you might not need, but it's there if you do need it). Another purpose of the small pond could just be a little scenic area where you can rest nearby or fish quietly with the boys if you add fish into it. Disadvantages are, of course, added cost, a small area dedicated to water instead of more plants, and maybe attracting wild pigs or stray dogs that could ruin the farm.

[@KumanderDaot]

I like the principles of permaculture 🙂

[@joodeki]

@@KumanderDaot Yeah, it's really neat when applied properly in an area. It's all about catching rain water that flows down and away from an area that needs it. The water gets gathered into a man-made pond, where it can last for months or years, which helps regenerate the soil in the area, making plants and trees greener and increase their fire resistance (probably negligible in the Philippines). It's a very long term project that requires a lot of planning though, but I figured I'd let you know about it, something to consider in the future.

[@gleenatrillo5390]

The baboy is beautiful and the cat stays near the fire to warm herself. Careful with people taking advantage of your kindness. You might be spending way too much for them than you should. Shrubs and grass easily grow specially during rainy season and you will be clearing the area every now and then. Nice banana leaf umbrella. Lily is so cute. Wishing you succeed in your new undertaking.

[@El_.5794]

He’s buying them lunch and snacks. It’s not everyday. That’s commendable for a good land owner. It’s also customary in the province for land owners to cook lunch fir their farmers during harvest time and it’s like a celebration of a good harvest thanking also the farm workers. So, it’s okay for Kumander to buy them food and it’s not that much though…

[@edgaraydaon291]

What do you men to take advantage Gleena

[@lowcarbhigh7428]

We’re glad you’re including your family in your vlog. I assure you that it will also help you to in your journey to improve your mental health. We saw your accident and it felt like a reminder that time is fleeting and seeing now that you belong to a family that cares for you instead of seeing you with your individual journey is very refreshing. It gives us a real feel good feeling! We hope you’ll feel the same! We’re rooting for you👍🙏💪

[@LilyGWard]

I wish you all the best on your future endeavours with your land and hope you will be able to share this with us in the future. 😊

[@juliusplazamondejar9763]

I admire you KD. This is what really becoming Filipino! I will visit your granja someday. Suerte en su nuevo proyecto. Felicitaciones!

[@craigevanoff6895]

Always good to see what you have going on, and how you interact with people, you are a good person Mr Daot... wishing you and your family all the best

[@claudiafernandez6125]

I love watching your vlog with your family, wifey n lily with the workers and neighboring eatery. Keep going with your new project and focus until it bears fruit. I also like the way you treat the workers, they are inspired to work coz u treated them well and feed them with love from the heart. God bless your new farm venture.

[@istvannemeth5912]

I’m from Hungary and my wife family also have a land in agusan del sure Maybe we’ll run into each other on day until that keep up the job you and your family doing and nice to see you happy in the Philippines My favorite place in earth Nicest happiest people

[@iloveyouforeverlove]

Beautiful baby, beautiful wife, what a happy life! You’re a lucky man KD.

[@estelafrost7067]

It's so nice to see you with your happy family together commander. Hope you have many more vlogs like this. You all looks very Happy. I used to work in the farm like that chopping weeds and brushes and small trees, so we can plant corns and rice. Back when I was young.

[@michaelseabeck7685]

Hi Anselmo I was really happy when you said you would not spray poison onto the land to kill the underbrush and weeds. So many people there rely on wells for their drinking water. Also what about the food you will grow if pesticides are used. Spraying pesticides is a quick fix that has long ranging detriments. Yes burning the land will also do the trick but be careful for erosion and loss of soil nutrients. A good ground cover to plant is alphalfa. This will help protect the newly uncovered soil and give back nitrogen to the ground. My friend did this on Tablas and it has worked superbly. Way to go Anselmo. I really like your vlogs and hope to meet you someday.......

[@KumanderDaot]

Thanks for this advice! Alphalfa! Will find some!

[@BongiePilapilMacas]

So happy for you Anselmo❤And we're excited to see the fruits of your labor❤

[@NickyDunn]

Great to see more of your family. Good vibes. They did so well clearing the land. Lots of hard work. Good vibes. Looking after those. Who look after you

[@christopherturco197]

Kumander, what kind of fruit are you planning to grow on your land? The men you hired did a terrific job clearing your land. That's not easy work, so it's impressive how quickly they completed it.

[@KumanderDaot]

They did an awesome job! Really impressed with how they keep slashing away!

Nice to see your family visiting your farm. What are you going to plant there after clearing the land? Lily is so cute, she’s a mix of you and Nhel. The boys are happy eating their lunch. Grilled fish is a satisfaction 😋

[@georgepastrana5244]

Coordinate with the DA technitians for soil testing of your farm and they will tell you what fruit trees is suitable.

[@eli.capinbxu]

No need for any DA technician. Anything planted in Agusan Sur will always grow be it fruit trees or any other type of trees or even bushes. That's how fertile is the soil in Mindanao in general and Agusan Sur in particular.

[@christopherturco197]

KD love that you include your family in your vlog Love it 🥰

[@LifesJourneyNZPhilippines]

Wow lots looking good now, I would recommend spraying the freshly cut weeds, it will really help with any potential grow back, I used a spray that has a fertilizer built into it, works awesome on our coconut farms. Got an awesome harvest about 3 months after we sprayed. What you planting?

[@AFSHomestead]

Good to see you and family doing well KD.

[@aussieme-mt7vr]

Kumander plant banana those rare species that are from Philippines only, cacao, coffee, rambutan, durian. The coffee can be planted between coconut trees my relatives did it. So if that land is not fully planted with coconut trees plant more make enough spaces so you can plant coffee too.

[@rexendurotrail5238]

You can plant coconut on the boundery kumander for copra.

Lami kaayo. Hami kaayo. .. The farm scenery is so beautiful. Someday fruit tress will grow. Let one or two persons plant trees and vegetables. .. it would be nice. Rather than forgetting the farm's fate for a while. You started clearing, then slowly plant something then it's maybe the best thing to do. Co co cool kaayo.
