Still in fundraising mode .... ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
This time around, kita nak promote satu barang bagus untuk pokoks ... ๐ช๐ช๐ช
We have fish poop expert in the making yang telah meng-offer-kan his fish poop liquid fertiliser to help us raise fund to replace the wear and tear stuff, especially the tents, around the kebun ... ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
Nak tau macamana fish poop dia berkesan tak berkesan ... Tengok le pokok betik dia dalam video tu ... The product of fish poop fertiliser hari-hari dia kasi ... Experiment nak tengok berapa besar the pokok can become .... ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ
The pokok is a bit unik sebab dia tanam dalam tong sampah hitam biasa ... tak de buat lubang kat bawah ... So all is contain inside the tong ... The pokok is fruiting well and tinggi pokok tu is lebih dari setingkat rumah ... about 15 feet or 5 metres like that la ...
Meh la try test tengok ... beli sebotol fish poop liquid fertiliser ... cara pemakaiannya senang aje ... sebotol fish poop tambah dengan sebotol air biasa ... pastu kasi pokok tu minum ... tak berani nak kasi dos sebotol, boleh le start ngan sedikit dulu tapi portion dia masih 1:1 ... ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Benefits of Using Fish Poop as Fertilizer:
> Natural Nutrient Boost: Fish poop is rich in nitrogen, a vital component for leafy green growth. It also contains phosphorus and potassium, promoting strong root development and overall plant health.
> Balanced Nutrient Ratio: Unlike synthetic fertilizers, fish waste provides a balanced nutrient ratio, preventing over-fertilization and reducing the risk of nutrient runoff into water sources.
> Microbial Magic: Fish waste encourages the growth of beneficial microbes in the soil, creating a healthy and thriving ecosystem for your plants.
> Sustainable Gardening: Utilizing fish waste for plant growth aligns with sustainable practices, as it's a natural byproduct of aquaponics or fishkeeping.
Harga sebotol as follows:
250ml RM1
500ml RM2
1.5L RM5
Nak beli, bagitau dalam komen nanti saya
One of the few species of ulat bulus found in the kebun ๐๐๐
Tu la dia ... While attending to the plants, we get to see assorted insects and bugs ... This one is spotted by Alice while she lawat kawasan ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
One thing for sure, no touchy touchy the ulat bulus, if not the itchy will make you go crazy ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ

Sekarang musim banjir ... Jadinya kita pun kena buat our own preparation for flash floods ... Mesti we will have 1 bad flash flood every year without fail ... not full fledge flood ... Just only 2 hours of heavy rain will give us knee high water rushing into the land and houses, and tak sampai 1 jam lepas hujan, tengok keliling macam tak de ape ... ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ
Nasib la rumah all we put up flood barriers so no water come in fast fast, kalau tak nak bersihkan rumah and all that stuff ... Huish mana boleh tahan year in year out ๐๐๐
Sepatutnye la the parits are being handled by workers from the council ke, jkr ke or jabatan parit dan saliran ke ... I pun confius sebab derang ni suka taichi menaichi ... tapi derang datang setahun sekali ... Itu pun kalau kita komplen baru nak datang tengok ... So sehari THEY come n clear the parit, and then THEY expect the parit to remain clear and honky dory the rest of the 364 days ๐ง๐ง๐ง ... I cannot brain that part ...
Neways, I would like to thank the forward thinking of my late parents, who, when they bukak tanah and jalan back in 1980s, they make sure they planted 2 sets of kelongkong (culvert) under the dirt road ... Yes, tempat I dulu tempat jin bertendang, jalan single lane more like lorong motor kiri kanan semak lagi tinggi dari kereta ... masuk hutan belukar sunyi aje ... Harimau, babi hutan, ular, landak scorpion, centipede etc etc banyak ada kat sini masa tu ... ๐ฆ๐
๐๐ฆ
๐ฆ๐ฆ
The last civilisation on this road at the time was the house (yang banyak pokok pisang) at the simpang empat Lorong Wak Makdon .... Pastu jungle and occasionally we got Orang Asli passing by from the inside cause their kampung nun jauh kat dalam (Perkampungan Orang Asli Bukit Komandol used to be where Tropicana Aman is now, then THEY (I dunno who la kan ๐
) shifted their whole settlement to across the SKVE Highway) ... The plot my parents kerjakan bukak tanah has humongous r
Got lots of animals to see here ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐
These two notti tupais are among many found here ... Tak tau la brape banyak sebab tak boleh kira .. Maybe ada 5-6 aje tapi nampak macam banyak la ... Unless dapat tangkap, tag derang pastu lepaskan, then detect ngan tag scanner ๐๐๐ ... So tau la mana permanent resident, mana PATI ๐๐๐
So kalau musim berbuah, ni la kena cepat "chup" buah ... Kalau tak, tinggal ranting gantung buah aje ... Huhu ๐๐๐
We are having OPEN KEBUN DAY on this Saturday 29 July from 12nn to 6pm. All are welcome.
We have lots of SEEDS to giveaway FOC ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
Come visit us in your gardening attires (covered shoes/boots, long sleeves/pants, etc) coz we are a community farm. You may even want to contribute ๐ช๐ช๐ช to do some weeding & planting & harvesting. For your ๐ช๐ช๐ช, you are welcome to share & take home cuttings/seedlings/harvest.
Today Mr Tukang Roboh tolong I cut the Moringa tree a.k.a pokok Kelor ... Thank you Michael for your ๐ช๐ช๐ช and Alice for helping out ๐๐๐ ...
That tree has been living with us since 1984 when the house was completed and we moved in. ๐ณ
According to old folks, they believe that if you tanam the pokok, it supposedly ward off evil spirit ๐ป๐ป๐ป or curb mumbo jumbo ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ ...
So my late dad tanam le beberapa spesis ... Some short and fat, some thin and long, and some regular size ๐ค๐ค๐ค
So yg kat depan nak masuk gate ke rumah ni is the short and chubby type ... I suka makan the young pods ... Masak dengan kari ikan masin ... Sedap sampai orang bagi salam kat depan rumah kita tak dengar sebab sibuk makan kat dapur ๐๐๐
Tu la kisah pokok ni ... Tebang dah berapa banyak kali tapi masih grow back ... Kalau hujan lagi la cepat dia grow back ... Musim panas slow la sikit ... ๐๐๐ pun lagi laju ...
Pernah sekali my late dad tebang sampai tinggal ciput aje ... Agaknya dia merajuk terus tak nak grow grow a few years sampai la after my late dad passed on ... Next thing you know, the tree is back ... Alive and swaying ๐๐๐
Macam dia tau aje that my late dad is not around ... Cause my father ni suka potong pokok ngan chainsaw ... Tinggi sikit potong, tinggi sikit potong ... Pokok-pokok kat kebun ni I rasa takut nak grow back time tu ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Nak percaya pun tak, tak percaya pun tak ... But not only that tree grow back, but a few other trees yg tinggal stump aje grow back with a vengence ๐ค๐ค๐ค
True la kot if people say trees have life, feelings and emotions ... Tapi I ni bukan la pakar pokok ye ... Just my observation aje โบโบโบ
So enjoy the short video I buat sendiri ... Tu yang lambat posting ni ๐๐๐
