As part of “To Spray or not to Spray” Exploration, we visited an organic farm in Kratie province to understand more about organic farming and pesticides. There are so many ways to create organic pesticides. One of the ways is to use seeds and plants to repel pests and it is very effective due to their poison, strong smell, spiciness, and bitterness. Another way is to use yeast as the main ingredient, which is called EM (effective micro-organism.) Personally, when I first stepped on the farm that was full with bananas, carrots, and leafy vegetables, I felt like I was in a real nature that did not contaminated with any chemical. I got opportunities to harvest carrots and formed organic pesticides. Also, on the way back, we stopped at organic pepper farm and we got chance to interviewed the owner’s perspective on organic farming. After this special experience, I really want to practice organic farming both in Liger and at my home.
