Goodbye Merah, one of our two chickens at Gasing Garden. It was all fun and lovely having you around for the past two years. You had gone through so much… bumblefoot… dog attacks… and still managed to make it through everything until this fateful day. Not sure what creature had taken away your life without even doing justice to your death by just leaving you to nature’s decomposers. Thank you for the good times, for munching on our overgrown grass, excess bugs rice leftovers and giving us eggs in return. ️#eatsshootsandroots #merahforever

READY, SET, GROW! “Living Gently With Chickens” – 9th Issue, November 2017.Growing up in Australia and Malaysia, Baida Hercus always knew she wanted land of her own to grow and nurture her family in nature. Baida and her husband Ricki have an off-grid 2-acres family farm in Janda Baik, Pahang, that they manage together..A decade ago, the farm was just an overgrown patch of land being reclaimed by the forest trees. Today, it is an orchard with over 1,000 trees, a vegetable garden, 100 chickens, two goats, and an upcycled cabin, where the family spends weekends and grows part of their supply of eggs, vegetables, and meat..“We wanted to take control of our food source. We don’t trust what we buy. If you don’t know it, you’d have to grow it yourself. Secondly, to live gently and have that bond with nature. And when we had animals we wanted to make sure that they’re free-range, healthy and looked after.”.“Chickens are quite easy to man- age and largely look after them- selves. You let them out in the morning, and they put themselves to bed at night. Eggs are also a superfood, and you can get it yourself. Also, being able to slaughter a chicken, put it into your cooking pot knowing that it hasn’t got any antibiotics in it – the chicken actually tastes clean,” said Baida..Read more about Baida and her chickens in Star2, The Star* #eatsshootsandroots #garden #ReadySetGrowESR #TheStar *Don’t forget to get your copy of today’s The Star newspaper!

Q: I have a soursop fruit tree that is two-and-a-half years old and 3m tall. It’s very healthy and leafy and bears beautiful yellow flowers. After the petals drop off, something is left behind – not sure if it’s the fruit or seed. After a few days, this seed or fruit dries up, turns brown, and falls off! Why does this happen? What treatment or fertiliser should I apply to get my soursop tree to bear fruit? Is my tree a “male” tree that bears only flowers and no fruit? Or is it still too young to fruit, and do I have to wait another four or five years to see any fruit?-Another problem plant is a lime tree which I have nursed since it was under a metre tall. Now it’s almost two years old and 2.5m tall. It’s also very healthy, green and leafy. When I squeeze a leaf, the aroma is like lime. But it has no flowers or fruit. Please let me know why, and what I can do to get it to fruit. – Patrick Leong-A: Your soursop and lime tree are just about the right age to produce yields (3-6 years old), but you should prune your soursop tree to about 1.8m to 2.5m (6-8 feet) high &encourage more lateral instead of vertical growth to facilitate easier harvesting.For both lime & soursop trees, flower drops (or no flowers at all) are often indicative of over- or under-watering or applying too much fertiliser.For the soursop tree, you should be applying about 300g of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in a 10-10-10 ratio per tree, every three months. Fruit-bearing lime trees require more nitrogen and potassium, less phosphorus, and more trace elements. The simplest thing to do is get fertilisers formulated specifically for lime trees, and follow the instructions on the package. Do not add more than what is recommended.-Find out more in our Ready, Set, Grow! column in Star 2 – The Star [link in bio!]-If you have any gardening questions, send your queries to http://questions.eatsshootsandroots.com-* All questions are answered by Dr Christopher Teh, soil biologist and senior lecturer at Universiti Putra Malaysia #eatsshootsandroots #DearPlantDoctor #ReadySetGrowESR #TheStar #garden

Luscious leafy greens (pak choy and kailan growing at the edible garden we set up for @tiarajacquelina and family just 2 months ago. Thai basil also doing great. Very happy that it is growing well with love and care. On another note, Kailan is also called Chinese kale. Slightly easier to grow in this climate compared to kale! #eatsshootsandroots #growyourown #pakchoy #kailan #thaibasil

Q: What causes my plants to have unhealthy leaves and how I can rectify the problem? These are photos of my rose (above) and hibiscus (below) plants. Also, how can I keep bugs off my plants? – Mary John-A: Both your plants need fertiliser. They appear to be deficient in magnesium and possibly also in potassium. Your hydrangea could additionally be lacking phosphorus.If possible, change the soils of the rose and hibiscus plants and add a fertiliser that includes phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. Follow instructions on the fertiliser package and do not over-fertilise. Some people use Epsom salts, which contain magnesium sulfate, as a source of magnesium.To control pests, you can mix neem oil with water in a 1:100 ratio and spray onto the plants.-Find out more in our Ready, Set, Grow! column in Star 2 – The Star [link in bio!]-If you have any gardening questions, send your queries to http://questions.eatsshootsandroots.com-* All questions are answered by Dr Christopher Teh, soil biologist and senior lecturer at Universiti Putra Malaysia #eatsshootsandroots #DearPlantDoctor #ReadySetGrowESR #TheStar #garden
