ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF WORKPLACE

It is important that plant nursery should be managed properly. If not, effort and
money will turn into nothing but a wastage of investment. A properly and organized plant
nursery can become a source of income. Customers, clients who need planting materials,
ornamental plants, seeds are looking for reliable source. How can you become a known
supplier if plant nursery is in disarray and not properly maintained?
 The following are preventive maintenance techniques to ensure the quality of
the nursery grown plants:
 Plants will be pruned as needed to ensure good health and structure.
 Routinely groom crops. Remove debris from ground cloth to reduce the slips and falls.
 All plants shall be spaced to allow for optimal growth and good air circulation to prevent
diseases.
 Containerized plants will be re-potted as needed to prevent encircling roots and to allow
them to grow into their desired natural form without girdling.
 All plants will be watered as needed. The primary method of irrigation is the existing
overhead system. This system works well for field growing areas but is modified as
needed for watering containerized plants.
 Fertilize plants as needed with a fertilizer appropriate to the crop. Use a slow release
product whenever possible.
 Plants requiring shade conditions will be held in the shade houses or provided a shade
cover.
 City water used for plant irrigation purposes will be used efficiently.
 Plants should be grouped by size and water needs.
 Watering will be done on an as-needed basis.
The most efficient system for watering individual planted areas will be used.
Where plants are dissimilar in size or species differ, hand watering will be required.
Avoid watering nursery areas that aren’t currently holding plants.
 The nursery will support recycling operations.

 Compost will be used whenever possible.
 Growing containers will be reused (following cleaning).
 Plant debris will be sent to ―clean-green‖.
 Plant holding areas will be used for plants that are in transition. While in holding, plants
shall be mulched, staked as needed, watered, and provided with shade protection if
required.
 Protection shall be provided for plants as needed especially during rainy days and when
the environment is too hot. Smaller and more tender plants will have priority during these
period.
During summer season, El Niño is prone to happen. It does not affect only the plants,
but also us human beings. Plants are our source of food and if they are dried out, there
will be a possible scarcity of food to humans and animals who depend on these life-giving
plants. La Niña, on the other hand, causes increases rainfall that may lead to flood which
may damage farms. Therefore, in any weather condition, plants must be protected.
 Routinely evaluate all gravel surfaces where crops are staged for the presence of
potholes and standing water.
 Site Maintenance
 All potting soil, compost, and bark mulch will be covered with a tarp to prevent weed seed
germination. Alternatively, routinely turn all piles.
 Noxious weeds will be controlled or removed from the site during preparation.
 Roads and pathways will be maintained on an annual basis to ensure accessibility.
 While the nursery supports various community programs the general public shall not be
allowed to get in and out of the vicinity.
 WASTE MATERIALS MANAGEMENT
Every business especially agricultural practice produces waste. Waste represents a
loss of resources and money for your project. By thinking creatively, you can reduce the
waste you create and make better use of the waste that can’t be avoided.
Here are the following strategies that can be done to manage waste properly:
a. Install recycling bins in and around your premises. There are materials that can be
used as media or containers in the nursery. Place them in a bin immediately then sort
them into recyclables. You can reduce the volume of waste going to landfill and you
may be able to “on-sell” your waste.
b. Use recyclable and reusable plant trays. Reusable and returnable plant boxes, pots
and trays can reduce the waste generated significantly.
c. Reuse and recycle other nursery products. For example, reuse potting mix in top soil
production, use pruning material for compost and mulch.
d. Install water efficient monitoring and management systems. Read how to save water
in the reducing water use section.
e. Order in bulk where possible. Purchasing in bulk minimizes packaging. If necessary,
consider installing larger storage facilities so that you can order raw materials in bulk
and store them for later use. Bulk purchasing is usually cheaper and you will also be
reducing the environmental impacts of frequent deliveries to your premises.
f. Minimize production waste. Look at your production processes and see what can be
altered to minimize waste. If you have a café, consider the size of the meals and if
food is leftover consider downsizing the portion a little.
g. Think about waste produced by your customers. With takeaway coffee, consider
refillable mugs, which costumers can come back and get refilled at a discount, rather
than throwaway cups. If the throwaway cups are used choose cups made from
recycled materials and/or are certified as sustainable.
h. Establish a composting system. If you are preparing food at your nursery, you might
like to consider a simple composting system. Even a city business can compost
nowadays, using a counter-top composter like a “bokashi bucket”. If you have outdoor
space, you could establish a worm farm or compost heap. Paper can be composted,
along with fruit and vegetable scraps.
i. Introduce a no or low plastics policy. Ask members to bring their own water bottles of
clean cups or use recycled alternatives.
j. Use recycled materials for fixtures where possible. Recycled building materials can
also reduce the construction costs.
k. Act as a recycling center for other recyclables. Work with council to be a recycling
center and promote this service to customers.
l. Implement inventory control procedures to avoid over-ordering. Custom made
computer programs can be set up specifically to track your business needs, if
necessary.
m. Eliminate materials that cannot be recycled from the production process or the
services you provide. Convert to recyclable materials to reduce your waste volume and
seek out businesses that will take your waste for recycling.
D. Elaborate
ASK: (Learners’ answers may vary.)
1. What routine maintenance techniques have farms in your locality already been practicing?
2. Which among the practiced maintenance techniques is the best in your area? Why?
3. How do you manage waste materials in your home, in school or in the community?
4. Why do we need to protect the plants in all ways possible no matter what weather?
