Costales Nature Farms

Firstly, we have adopted the teachings of Japanese farming technology  from   Dr. Terou Higa using Effective Micro Organisms (EM). We inoculate beneficial microbes into the soil, which combat harmful ones.  It makes the soil porous and attract earthworms that eventually dig the soil for us. Hence, 'no-till' farming is attained. 

The number of  beneficial microbes that are present in a bottle of EM-1 is  around 80 different species, making it the most complete and most widely use inoculant in the world. It is estimated that 150 countries has already adopted the use of EM Technology.  One of them- The Philippines. Some of the the group of microbes that can be found in a bottle of EM-1 are Lactic Acid Bacteria, Actinomycetes, Photosynthetic Bacteria, Yeast and Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria. 

EM Technology is truly the 'lifeline' of our farm. Without it, Costales Nature Farms will not exist and will not become successful.  We use the EM technology in crop production as soil conditioner, microbial inoculant, foliar spray, composting agent and fertilizer.

Also, we use EM in our poultry and livestock as pro-biotic(mixed with their drinking water) and to control odor. We do not use antibiotics and no vaccines either. Moreover, we use EM to make mud balls, which in turn, use to clean the bottom of the fish ponds for our aquaculture. 

Furthermore, EM is use in our fermentation process of different organic fertilizers such as Bokashi, EM fermented plant extract, EM fermented fish extract and EM fermented fruit juice.  Our best pest botanical repellents are also made with the use of EM.

Finally, we use EM in our different composting like vermi composting, earobic composting anaerobic composting like the  fermented kitchen garbage.

We combined the Japanese technology into the Korean Natural Farming system mentored by Dr Han Kyo Cho. We ferment our own organic fertilizers, foliar sprays and insect repellents ie. Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ), Fermented Fruit Juice (FFJ), Fish Amino Acid(FAA),  Foliar Calcium, Calcium Phosphate, Oriental Herbal Nutrients (OHN).

We also brew compost and harvest compost tea for foliar supplements. In integrated natural farming, we utilize the by-product of every farm produce (waste) for the feeding requirements of other farm products.
