How to Plant Low Bark Nam Doc Mai Mango seedlings
Here are the steps to plant Low Bark Nam Doc Mai (LBNDM) that we used in our farm.
Land Prep
Yes! Finally after weeks of careful planning, watching millions of youtube tutorials, research and negotiations, we have finally planted on our first farm site. It was an exciting two weeks and I have a lot to tell.
First day, we added the pipes for the existing water line, we prepared the ground for the next day's planting, and started with the perimeter fence. The picture below shows them starting with the temporary fence. This was necessary because of the cows and goats roaming freely.

Planting Map
I promised to show you guys the final planting map for the 2000sqm land. This is a pdf file that contains the mapping of the Nam Doc Mai mangoes, Longkong Lanzones and the "Tomboy" Calamansi. All these plants costs about Php17250 or (~$370) . Additional expenses include shipping them from Davao Php5000 (~$110) and trucking Php10000 ($215).
Planning the farm

You might have the impression that there was no planning done and we were just two people diving into totally unchartered waters. Hopefully we did enough research and planning before we took the plunge. Here's some of the things we did:
