Good afternoon to my friends who love agriculture in this beloved community.
Hi friends, wherever you are, this afternoon I want to share a post about how I've been observing the development of my oil palm plantation. Farming is my hobby.
On this very precious occasion, I'm back again. Of course, I'll show you my garden. I planted oil palm trees in 2024, and I visited them again this morning. My oil palm trees are about 2 years old.
Last month, I cleaned my garden by spraying herbicide, using Bioaqua poison, and mixing it with garlon to kill small tree seedlings to prevent pests from attacking my oil palms.
While in the garden, I saw incredible beauty and serenity. I felt it, and of course, I took some photos of my garden to show you here this afternoon.
This is what it looked like when I was in the garden this morning.
After that, I immediately sat down for a moment to rest because I had walked to the garden. I no longer have a motorbike because the one I have is broken. The distance to the plantation was about 2 kilometers, and I was feeling tired, so I sat in a hut in the garden to relieve my fatigue.
This is me resting in a hut in my garden.
After my fatigue subsided, I immediately went around to see my oil palm trees bearing fruit. I was very happy; this was probably the first fruit called sand fruit. A few months later, I fertilized them with a mixture of urea and red pearl fertilizer, and I saw quite satisfactory results. This is my experience caring for an oil palm plantation in the garden.
This is what the oil palm fruit looked like after being fertilized two months ago.
After enjoying a walk around all my oil palm trees and clearing the small weeds growing beneath them, I quickly returned to the hut and decided to go home. Since it was already midday, I didn't bring any food supplies.
Well, friends, I hope some of my experiences in caring for an oil palm plantation and applying fertilizer have been helpful. And of course, every effort will not betray the results, which is what independent farmers like me hope for.
All the photos I show above were taken using my Redmi Note 7 camera.
Okay, that's all I have to say. I hope you enjoy it.
