As a national newspaper editor, gardening activities also give him benefit which is the mind is always clear and fresh, because the environment and the air clean and free from pollution.
Mr. Budi started a gardening business since 2.5 years ago. Work in garden starting when someone who have much of land, requested him to manage vacant land in mountain Ciampea areas. This empty land by the owner asked to crops with timber, such as teak and sengon. As a reward for his efforts, Mr. Budi entitled to get a part of the timber sale, 5 years to come.
Part of his garden
To manage this teak garden Mr. Budi recruit 3 workers. In their work, Mr. Budi implement very high discipline. He does not hesitate to scold him for his men, if their work is unsatisfactory.
Age 6 months Already Harvest Starts
After a while, it felt heavy work because must pay 3 people, while still too long to get a piece of timber. For that he asked for land owners to be allowed to use the land around the plant to plant with papaya. This request was approved by the land owner. So, he cleared land immediately around the plants to be planted with papaya.
As a graduated from Bogor Agricultural University, Department of Social Sciences Economics, he is including as quite hard worker. He does not want half measures in gardening. See, how the garden clean of grass and shrubs. Never once during droughts, water shortages occur, so he must make use of river water over 200 meters away from the location of the garden. With effort and do not care about time, and assisted the three employees Mr. Budi managed to irrigate the whole garden. As a result, his business has been able to finance all of its employees, even excessive, so as to provide additional income.
Know Mycorrhizae
With the knowledge gained in college and also learn from the internet and the people around him, Mr. Budi has already felt the results of his activity. Although it provides additional income, but felt his papaya garden has not yielded a maximum yet. If a long dry season arrives, so much going loss papaya flower, thus reducing the fruit it produces. Unfortunately in the first planting time (about 1.5 years ago), he's not using mycorrhizae. Although already familiar with mycorrhizal, but at that time was still very difficult to get it.
Growth Differences
Approximately 6 months that we offer mycorrhizae on him, and he agreed to wear them. It was beyond expectations, using mycorrhiza, plant pepayanya capable of harvesting at the age of 6 months! This means that 1 month earlier than in the fastest ever planted. In addition, its fruit is very dense and more resistant to disease and drought! Now when other papaya farmers began to fret with the emergence of various diseases, Mr. Budi would start to feel the harvest of papaya that he was only 6 months. Congratulations Mr. Budi!
