Fixers

This is the reason why we plant legumes; for the symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria - rhizobia. See those pinkish nodules? Those are rhizobia colonies.

About This Blog

Raymond and Mariel.........................................: Hello, Raymond and Mariel here. We started this blog to share the developments of our small farm to all of you. We decided to call it the Daily DOSE Farm. DOSE stands for Diverse, Organic, Sustainable and Eco-friendly. Our farm is Diverse because, although small, it is home to about 100 kinds of vegetables and herbs. It also shelters hundreds of different insects, a few species of birds and billions of beneficial fungi and bacteria. We practice Organic farming. Not a drop of pesticide or a granule of synthetic fertilizer is used in our farm. We hate chemicals! We only use the best compost we can produce, freshly brewed compost tea, and the wisdom nature gave us. We support Sustainable agriculture. For us, we are only borrowing our land from our future kids and grandchildren, so we must preserve its fertility. From our farm to our stores we follow Eco-friendly practices. We use recyclable materials for packaging and encourage people to shop bringing reusable shopping bags. Shoppers with reusable bags get discounts and freebies. Join us in making our world better. We can’t imagine Mother Earth being worse than what she is today.
