In this case, sweet potato is grown more for leaves as vegetable since tubers would be hard to harvest without damaging katuk.

It would be good to cover it with plants to protect the soil, even if it's just green manure.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-06-05-16-07-26.jpg2014-06-05 16.07.26The food forest is left at the furthest end of the farm. For the past few years, lots of organic waste has been dumped there without any weeding or human intervention. It's quite a mess, but only to the untrained eye. Look at those papayas! I have no doubt that this is the most fertile land in the entire farm.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-06-05-16-07-10.jpg2014-06-05 16.07.10We dug a hole beside the pond to bury the water hyacinth that has completely covered the two ponds. Water hyacinths are one of the fastest growing plants in the world, doubling their population every two weeks! Great for composting and mulching with their high nitrogen content. The greedy bananas will suck up all that nutrients readily. Good chance to look at the fertile volcanic soil in Bali.

It's dry season in Bali and mulching really helps to retain moisture under the baking sun.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-06-05-16-04-50.jpg2014-06-05 16.04.50A living hedge of gamal leaf, moringa, and passionfruit.

There's no such thing as a passionfruit tree since they are creepers. The passionfruit has partnered with the moringa tree, which works quite well with sparse foliage trees like the moringa.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-06-05-16-45-08.jpg2014-06-05 16.45.08More mulching can be done.

The pond is very deep but I am not sure the exact depth because it was already filled when I saw it. https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/imag0561.jpgIMAG0561This is the same pond after a couple of months with grass on the sides. A pipe has been added to direct rainwater harvested from the warehouse roof into the pond. Another pipe on the left (that you can't see) is the overflow. It leads to the river about 10m away. https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/imag0557.jpgIMAG0557After a few months...https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2014-04-02-15-16-09.jpg2014-04-02 15.16.09https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/imag0562.jpgIMAG0562https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/imag0569.jpgIMAG0569Soil that was left bare was leached to a white sandy mix.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/imag0567.jpgIMAG0567You can see that the green manure did better in certain areas while in some areas the grass took over.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/img-20140515-wa0017.jpgIMG-20140515-WA0017The beans look very similar and it is only when I open the pods that I can tell what kind of beans they are.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/img-20140515-wa0016.jpgIMG-20140515-WA00162014-08-04T15:23:01+00:00monthlyhttps://intotheulu.com/2014/06/24/plastic-farming-in-yunnan-china/https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-04-22-13-38-40.jpg2014-04-22 13.38.40I'm not sure what this is but I am guessing it is buckwheat or wheat. The local eatery has a crepe made from buckwheat.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-04-22-13-45-54.jpg2014-04-22 13.45.54This farming couple are planting corn. The red coloring on the yellow corn kernels is fungicide. The corn seeds that I buy in Singapore have them as well but I guess in much lower concentration since they are a light pink.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-04-22-10-56-04.jpg2014-04-22 10.56.04They create straight rows of mounds and then dig a small hole at the peak. Next, they water into the holes using water irrigated from the nearby stream. We had to pour quite a bit as the soil is so dry and the water is soaked up very quickly.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-04-22-10-44-35-1.jpgPlastic sheet mulchPlastic sheet mulch is then used to cover the entire mound. This helps to retain moisture in the soil. After a week or two, the farmers will cut a hole for the seedlings to pop out.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-04-22-10-41-01.jpg2014-04-22 10.41.01Seedlings or seeds are then planted into this watered hole.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-04-22-10-35-14.jpg2014-04-22 10.35.14A special kind of weed - marijuana. When I spoke to some locals, they say that humans don't eat it as it is fed to the pigs.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-04-22-10-31-26.jpg2014-04-22 10.31.26You can notice from this and the previous photo that the vegetables are growing out of a plastic sheet. You can also notice that the bare soil is parched by the intense sun at high altitude. The rainfall is nothing compared to the tropics. Even when it rains, it's gentle unlike the big smashing drops in the tropics. In some sense, they are not punished for bare soil cultivation as heavily as compared to doing the same in the tropics. There is less leaching, erosion, and compaction.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-04-22-10-26-35.jpg2014-04-22 10.26.35I first tried to speak to this farmer lady but we couldn't communicate as she was speaking some local dialect. She was however very kind and gave me the stalk of this vegetable. I eventually took it to a local eatery and got them to prepare it. They chopped into slices and served it raw with vinegar. Yummy!https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-04-22-11-27-53.jpg2014-04-22 11.27.53The farmers burn their organic waste from the previous harvest. Biomass is already hard to come by in their climate and they could do much more with this than burning. The burning of agricultural waste is a big source of air pollution in China and it is so bad sometimes that airports have to shut down.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-04-15-11-53-25.jpg2014-04-15 11.53.25Bee hives spotted! The hives are huge compared to the ones in tropical Asia. It gets very cold during the winters up here and the colonies tend to be bigger to tide through the tough times. It's flowering season and you can observe the air traffic at the hive entrance is extremely busy.2014-08-04T15:20:05+00:00monthlyhttps://intotheulu.com/2014/08/04/project-green-valley-our-very-own/https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/imag0231.jpgFarm porridgeAuntie Lynn cooks up a big pot of porridge with her farm-fresh produce for us.https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/2014-06-24-10-28-43.jpgPlanting densely verticallyAnother multi-layer planting, from top to bottom: papaya, sweet leaf, kang kong (river spinach)https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/2014-05-15-16-07-26.jpgPlanting densely verticallyFour-layer planting, from top to bottom: white bittergourd, corn, purple sweet potato leaves, purple sweet potato tubershttps://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/2014-01-22-16-26-18-1.jpgCardboard MulchCardboard Mulchhttps://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/polytunnel-e1407157930535.jpgPolytunnelPolytunnelhttps://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2014-07-03-14-02-16.jpg2014-07-03 14.02.162022-11-24T13:47:19+00:00monthlyhttps://intotheulu.com/2014/07/10/a-fixation-on-nitrogen-fixation/https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2014-01-11-09-47-03-e1405004875403.jpg2014-01-11 09.47.03https://intotheulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2014-01-29-11-40-59-e1405002612337.jpg2014-01-29 11.40.592014-07-10T15:13:06+00:00monthlyhttps://intotheulu.comdaily1.02025-06-02T15:13:47+00:00
