Journey to Moonriver - a permaculture experience!

Permaculture - permenant agriculture, where earth is replenished continuously with natural products and we get rich organic food all year round. Sounds familiar? Our ancester had been doing it till the industrial monsters started to swallow the traditional way. Now we learn it again, in a systematic and scientific way.

We found our way to Moonriver Lodge in Sigar Highlands near to Cameron Highlands. It is the first in Malaysia and nearest to home. After passing all the malodorous farms on the way from Blue Valley it was a surprise that this organic farm smells only of flowers.

Just by reusing many of our home waste from vegetables, fruits, newspaper and even more, rich and environmental friendly fertilizer was produced! The techniques are best elaborated by the sifu there.

We set our mind to practic the techniques as much as possible later. Then rubbish can be called "mulch" and worms are named "best workers".
