my actions to make our environment cleaner, greener and healthier 🌲🌲🌲🌴🌴🌴: Recycling A nonbiodegradable material, separating my pawpaw suckers
Hello dear friends, I welcome you once again to my blog. This time around, I have taken action to save our environment through recycling of a nonbiodegradable material.
Around my environment, nylon bags from sachet water are always littered here and there. On Monday when I went out for my workout section, I noticed such littering. It wasn't good at all. What came to mind was recycling of this material.
I have been planning to separate the pawpaw suckers that I nursed from the first fruit of the pawpaw I planted in my compound. This pawpaw is the envy of those in my neighborhood and passers-by. They love the fruits because it is both huge in size and beautiful in appearance and it started bearing fruit at a tender age.

Almost everyone desires to have this spacie of pawpaw in their compound. We have been able to give out some ripened fruits from this tree. And I thought of giving out the suckers to help them grow the same spacie in their own compound.
Last most in my post here, I told us about my first harvest from this specie of pawpaw in my compound. After eating the fruit, I planted the seeds in a recycled cement bag and nursed it till this day
you can see the seeds here |

They grew and needed to be separated so that anyone can just carry one or more to their compound for planting. See how grown they look

Picking up the nylon from the ground and gathering them for the purpose
Arriving early at my workout place, I bent down and picked up the littered water sachets and then selected the few that I needed for the separation.

On getting home, I immediately changed to my working clothes and cut the sachets open to widen it. Then sat down to fill them up with wet soil from the compound
Filling the sachets with soil and separation
I dug out the soil and separated them. Then wet the soil with water, started filling the sachets one after the other. They were 14 sachets that I filled up.
The next step was the separation of the suckers into those nylon. I had to wet the bag and the soil for easy separation. I put them 2 in each sachet. One by one, I was able to complete the separation and placed them at a conner visible to the passers-by for easy pickup. In separating them, I made sure that the soil from the original bag accompanies the sucker to the new sachet so that they can easily adapt. I don't know if they will survive there but I will try to care for them. When I bought this sucker last year, they were in a sachet as I have just done. I believe I can preserve these ones too.
My neighbour who I promised a fruit from the pawpaw tree came around the next day to plug the pawpaw, I told her about the sucker and she said she will go and pick one after getting where she was going to transplant it ready.
I will do the same to the other specie of my pawpaw in my compound. Meanwhile, we have just eaten the first fruit from that one and I have also spread the seed to grow
Hopefully, they will germinate and I will do the same thing to them.
I am determined to encourage others and myself to make our planet cleaner, greener and healthier! Let's do it!
