(ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္ ) Some scenes from the Yangon markets. They’re hot and noisy and full of people buying, selling, talking, shouting, laughing and working hard. Turn the sound on!

We would like to make bokashi from the fish scraps😉) /Jenny ရန္ကုန္ေဈးေတြထဲကျမင္ကြင္းတစ္ခ်ိဳ႕။ ေဈးေတြကေတာ့ ဝယ္ၾက၊ ေရာင္းၾက၊ စကားေတြေျပာၾက၊ ေအာ္ၾကဟစ္ၾက၊ရယ္ၾကေမာၾက၊ အားႀကိဳးမာန္တက္အလုပ္ေတြလုပ္ၾကတဲ့လူေတြရဲ႕ အသံဗလံေပါင္းစံုနဲ႔ဆူညံၿပီး၊ ပူလည္းပူအိုက္ပါတယ္။ အသံသာတစ္ခ်က္ဖြင့္ၾကည့္လိုက္ေတာ့ဗ်ိဳ႕ သိရေအာင္။ (ေျပာရရင္ေတာ့..အင္း…အဲဒီငါးအႂကြင္းက်န္ေတြကေန ဘိုကာ႐ွီလုပ္ခ်င္တာေပါ့ဗ်ာ။) #bokashimyanmarContinue reading “Fish for dinner!”

Demand for fresh, organic food is growing
(😊ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္ 😊😊) And now Inda and colleagues are on a visit to another organic farm outside Yangon – with the wonderful name Sein Lann, fresh green. Inspiring. The farm exports 3 tons of organic produce to Singapore each week
Organic farming near Yangon
(ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္ ) We’re learning what we can about organic farming in Myanmar and today Inda is at an organic farm just outside Yangon, a town called Hmaw Bee, as part of his course. It’s called ‘Doh Kyaung Tha’; our monastery boy.
Hyacinths and waterways

And after the sugarcane juice…?
(😊ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္ ) Sugar cane juice! So damn nice on a hot day. But the leftovers, where do they end up? Taken off to the tip, I assume. Which is a pity, we could make great bokashi from them. And one day we will!
Let’s stop burning brown leaves
(ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္ ) Here’s a message from India that’s really valuable and applies as well in Myanmar as anywhere else. Brown leaves are super valuable! They’re full of nutrients that should be returned to the soil. Composting, mulching, whatever — just to do it.
Beautiful Yangon flowers
(😊ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္ 😊😊) Yangon markets! So many beautiful flowers. But even they have their time, and when they’re no longer fresh and lovely we could at least make bokashi of them and return them to the soil.
Bokashi in a nunnery
(ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္) Another micro project we’re running is bokashi in a nunnery in Yangon. These nuns (one of them is Inda’s sister) live in a rural area and cook much of their own food. So they have organic mterial to take care of and hopefully soon a garden to use it in!
Cleanup day at Dala
(ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္) Just now Inda is at a community cleanup In Dala, Yangon. These cleanups are becoming a thing in Yangon and its great to see — every little bit helps! We’re in this area a lot these days, it’s the township on the other side of the river where the Chu Chu recycling and designContinue reading “Cleanup day at Dala”
