Hass Avocado

 
Hass Avocado, need no introduction. It's the King of Avocado. 95% of the global commercially planted Avocado is Hass.

Hass had some other big advantages over other avocado. The trees grow vigorously, are easy to propagate and produce an impressive amount of fruit by only the second or third season. They have a longer harvest season than other avocados and, perhaps most importantly, the Hass's thicker skin makes it superior to handle and ship long distances.

Hass avocados have a pebbly skin that ripens from green to deep purple or nearly black, and they can vary in size from 140 gm to 340 gm. Although the skin is thick, it is relatively easy to peel. The flesh closest to the skin is pale green, and as it nears the medium-sized central stone it develops a yellow undertone. The flesh is soft, creamy, and barely fibrous, with good oil content. The flavor is rich and nutty with a slightly sweet finish.

The Hass avocado tree is a desirable fast-growing tree that produces high-quality, rough-skinned fruit with a long shelf life. Hass avocado trees are medium, spreading, evergreen trees that reaches 12 M in height and 11 M wide.

Paulownia Trees in Malaysia


Paulownia – also called the kiri tree, princess tree or empress treeis a genus of six to 17 species of flowering plants in the family Paulowniaceae, related to and sometimes included in the Scrophulariaceae. They are present in much of China, south to northern Laos and Vietnam and are long cultivated elsewhere in eastern Asia, notably in Japan and Korea.

Why Paulownia in Malaysia? 
From a commercialization prospect, we are still identifying the potential, such as market pricing of Paulownia Lumber in Malaysia. Our trial plot shall also provide us with accurate data, such as survival rate, growth rate, time to harvest, Bo-Mass production and etc. Most importantly is ROI. We are contacting buyers for Paulownia. Shall share more with you as we progress.

From a CSR prospect,
Paulownia is a fast growing tree that can help clean up our environment. They absorb heavy metals 
and harmful substances, where other trees would not survive. Absorbing these substances, it relieves the earth from them.


Paulownia helps for remedying the fragile soils, which otherwise would perish and be lost completely.
The huge leaves of Paulownia reach 50-70 cm in diameter. After falling they not only fertilize, but also restructure the soil with natural humus. In this way, they ensure the necessary conditions for the growth of the species grown jointly with Paulownia and after.

Paulownia is a preferred tree species also in fighting erosion. Besides purifying the soil and the waters in it, Paulownia clears the air of harmful gases, which are often in unacceptably high concentrations, especially in the large industrial cities. Paulownia absorbs 10 times more CO2 than any other tree species, releasing large quantities of O2. 
Human activity, the power industry, the huge traffic etc. bring about the fast accumulation of CO2 in the air, which in turn leads to global warming.
 


With the planting of 5 acres of new areas with Paulownia, the absorption of 13 tons of CO2 from the air per year is ensured. With our new planting in Bandar Baru Bangi, we are actually creating an Oxygen generator. Our farm shall be greener than Green! This shall greatly reduce our carbon foot print from the Bangi Golf Resort Hotel down to the Bangi Farm Resort. We hope to finish off the planting by 3rd quarter 2019.

In short, Paulownia improves the soil, controls the pollution of subsoil waters with heavy metals, chemicals and animal waste polutants, controls erosion, serves as shelter and barrier from the sun and winds, purifies the air from pollutants and releases large quantities of O2. Not least is the importance of Paulownia for the enrichment of the landscape and the biological diversity of Bandar Baru Bangi.
Here are 6 reasons why you should head for Bangi Farm Resort and spend time in our Paulownia farm as the fresh air improve your wellbeing:


1) Fresh air is good for your digestive system
Fresh air increases the flow of oxygen helping you digest food more effectively so this will particularly help if you are trying to lose weight.

2) Fresh air helps improve blood pressure and heart rate
Avoid polluted environments particularly if you need to improve your blood pressure.
3) Fresh air makes you happier
The more fresh air you get, the more oxygen you will breathe which will increase the amount of serotonin (the happy hormone) you inhale, consequently making you happier.

4) Fresh air strengthens your immune system
By increasing the amount of fresh air we get, will increase the amount of oxygen which helps our white blood cells function properly by fighting and killing bacteria and germs. 

5) Fresh air cleans your lungs
You lungs dilate more from having an increase of oxygen so fresh air improves the cleansing of your lungs. You release airborne toxins from your body when exhaling through your lungs.

6) Fresh air gives you more energy and a sharper mind
You may have noticed after spending time outside, you come back indoors feeling brighter and perhaps ready to get back to work. More oxygen results in greater brain functioning, improving your concentration skills and providing you with more energy.

We had just managed to plant 3 rows, and there's plenty more to go.













It's turning woody !

Golf Course Turf Grass, Shifting Goal Post

Golf Course Turf Grass Part 2

Our initial trail.

The amended soil.
The amended soil.
Just came back from my vacation in Vietnam and now back to work. We are shifting our goal post. Our initial Goal is to find out if AgroSol works for Turf and after a couple of weeks, we are finalizing an order of AgroSol for a bigger trial. We are just waiting for the official documentations.

In the mean time, am shifting from "if it works" to optimization. From the initial concentration, 1:200, 1:400 & 1:600, I find that 1:600 works better. This is definitely a run off from our normal perception that "more is always better"

My last spraying about 14 days ago, was done while drizzling. So I guess this is a good time to change the concentration.



Let this run for 28 days and check back on the results. Stay tuned.

Golf Course Turf Grass

Hotel Bangi-Putrajaya

Turf Repairing in progress
Let's go have a round of Golf!
Did a presentation with the Course management people and started a trial for Turf at Bangi Golf Course Resort on the 4th October 2017. Went around the course to orientate myself with the Assistant Course Superintendent. A big thank you. I understand a little more as Turf to a layman like me is weeds.

I found out that Turf needs to be repaired and lots of efforts and steps are taken to to that. Let along using machines that I had not encountered before.

Turf is practically planted in sand and I was made to understand that there is a sub soil level, which include drainage as well. In-fact layers had to be prepared one by one.

There are also different Turf for different area, like greens, fairways, putting & etc. Name of the turf also sounds so alien to me, as I normally refer them as weeds or grass.


As I had never planted grass before, and had a long though on how to go about this.


Irregular Turf.

I can out with an idea of making a marked area and do it at a different concentration. After a couple of trails with other plants in Malaysia, I have a hunch that we don't require a high concentration as stated by our principle, or was it that I calculate wrongly...

This is what I came up with. Bought some PVC
pipes and raffles string. I guess yellow is easier to see. We did this in the nursery in 3 sections. Concentration from 1:200 to 1:600. I then sprinkle in some compost, our Richfield, formulation with Micorriza and Super Nano Gel.
Took me about 2 horse to complete. We were recommended to apply AgroSol either in the morning or evening. Most of the time all my trials, my application time is away from the recommended time, as by the time I finished preparing, it's most probably late morning or afternoon.

I left, and schedule my next schedule in 14 days' time.




Note the Turf is practically growing on sand.
In the mean time I was reckoning, what else can we do for Golf course? I then took time to find out why do they need to grow Turf on sand, which is a poor growing media. It needs lots of nutrients and water to support the Turf. Due to continuous irrigation, we need to manage fungus disease.  I found out that Turf is practically growing in a hydroponic method, because it need to drain off water from the course way. Easier to walk for the golfer with soil/ mud sticking onto their shoes.




Green is turf, Red is root zone and Blue is sand.
On the right, we insert in a layer of BioRichar

Can we make the Golf course more green as in less chemical? Can we reduce the workforce required? After discussing with the management, they came up wit a magic number, 30%. If we can have a saving of 30%, yes , they can explore working with us.

After corresponding with the Assistant Superintendent. I proposed that we work with 2 approach. On the top we treat the turf with our Pure Plant Energy, AroSol. On the bottom we try to amend the sand (Soil). Our Richfield is a good candidate. Germany technology, the Mycorriza promotes root growth, right in the root zone. Porosity and Moisture retention is great. Rich with organic matter, inoculated with good effective microbes shall manifest the growth of the EM. Super Nano gel absorb water, retain and release slowly shall greatly reduce irrigation and energy cost. Introducing a thin layer of say 10 to 20 mm in the root zone should have very good long term effect. Hope this shall help us reach our magic figure. Decided to incorporate this on my next visit.

23rd October. As anticipated, the 1:600 shows better performance.
This is the first time I used an auguring tool of this sort. I had initially scheduled half a day for this task. With this tool, it was a breeze and managed to complete in a very short time. But still, age had caught up with me. Needed plenty of rest in between.

I aimed for the root zone depth, replaced some sand with Richfield. 4 holes per slot.















My visit today 3rd November . Check out my video. The round patch is visible. It is effective
The 200, note the round patches.

The 400, note the round patches.

The 600, note the round patches.








































Closer up of the 600.
My visit today, it's drizzling and not suitable for spray AgroSol. Shall come back and continue the trial later part of the month. I personally is very excited as am getting remarkable improvements in 28 days.

Looking forward to optimize further, maybe with a higher range of 1:500, 1:700 and 1:900.

Well, can only do this after my vacation. Stay tune.
