Earth Ranger Marvelous Miguel
Yesterday, a few Earth Rangers joined me to do some clean-up at our UPB Tree Nursery located in Teken Quarter at Mile 4 Nkwen.
You can learn more about the UPB Tree Nursery here:

We started with cleaning-up the entire nursery space during which we removed all the weed from the nursed pears as well as around the entire UPB Tree Nursery.

The weed was used to fill a gully on the road that was located just around our nursery. This was to ensure the smooth passage of vehicles along this stretch of road.
After filling it with the weed, we covered the weed with a thick layer of lateritic soil and then watered it.

The weeding was followed by the hardening of the avocados that had already been nursed. This was done by Earth Rangers Marvelous and Frank-Kightley and myself (Hive account@mr-greens).

As you can see, the nursed avocados are doing exceptionally great in the upcycled plastic bottle nursery pot.

In March 2020, we will commence selling the nursed avocados and mangoes.

We are encouraging steemians who live in plastic bottle polluted communities to start collecting the plastic bottles and repurposing them into UPB Tree Nursery Pots. Plastic bottles are a huge opportunity for arboriculture and agriculture and if we exploit this opportunity, we will significatntly reduce plastic bottles pollution around the globe.
