(ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္) At the end of the day it all ends up in a pile, a sack, a basket and gets transported away to landfill. I have to say the streets are impressively clean in the downtown area; the official and unofficial waste collectors do a good job. But the sad thing is that so littleContinue reading “All in a pile.”

At the end of the day.
(ေအာက္မွာျမန္မာလိုပါေသးတယ္ေနာ္) Behind the scenes. Yangon is a big city, the markets are huge, and every day great loads of produce come in from the surrounding countryside. By evening, there are waste piles by every stall. Mixed organic and non-organic, all headed for landfill. /Jenny ျမင္ကြင္းေတြရဲ႕ေနာက္ဝယ္… ရန္ကုန္ကၿမိဳ႕အႀကီးႀကီး။ေဈးေတြကလည္းတကယ့္အႀကီးႀကီးေတြ။ ေန႔တိုင္းပဲ အနီးအနားေက်းလက္ေဒသေတြဆီကေန ထုတ္ကုန္အေျမာက္အမ်ားကဝင္လာေနၾက။ ညေနေလာက္ဆိုရင္ေတာ့ ဆိုင္တိုင္းဆိုင္တိုင္းရဲ႕ေဘးမွာ…ေအာ္ဂဲနစ္ေကာ ေအာ္ဂဲနစ္မဟုတ္တာပါ ေရာေႏွာထားၿပီး အမိႈက္ပံုထဲေရာက္ရမယ့္ အပယ္ခံပစၥည္းေတြကတပံုတပင္။Continue reading “At the end of the day.”

Fish for dinner!
(ေ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! (And yes! 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

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!
