We are here to teach you how to grow your own organic sayur.
But one thing most important we have to say first about our website: We are written in Malaysian English!!
People call it Manglish (Mangled English a.k.a. Malaysian English). Of course, we could without any hardship at all opt to be written in internationally correct English. But don’t want lah! Boring.
Some more this is not a corporate website what. This is for all the happy people in our country who want to enjoy organic sayur. Want to talk like we are wearing neckties for what? Relaks lah sayang.
Still, for the benefit of international visitors, sayur is vegetable.
Malaysia Boleh is Malaysia can (do it).
Satu Malaysia is One Malaysia.
Baja is fertilizer.
Cacing is earthworm.
Kebun is garden.
These are Malay words that made it into Manglish. In fact all Malay words and all English words and some Chinese words and quite a few Tamil words are also in the National Manglish Dictionary which hopefully will be published in 2020.
Anyway, enough Manglish lessons for now. Back to organic sayur.
Why must plant your own organic sayur
Not only you like to eat vegetable. Insects like it even more. You know how insects find vegetables? By sight and smell. The more vegetables, the more the sight and the nicer the smell.
So ah. A big vegetable farm will attract insects from miles and miles around. The jungle got a lot of grass and leaves what. But why insects never sapu everything? Because a lot of the green in the jungle know how to protect themselves by making natural chemicals that the insects don’t like. Vegetables where got like that one. So when got millions of vegetables grow together-gether in hundreds of acres, insects die-die also will go there.
Pity the farmers. Use pesticide, get scolded. Don’t use but cannot send enough vege to the pasar borong, get scolded.
So no need to scold. The government is doing its job to regulate pesticide use. And fungicide also. And herbicide also. Buy and remember to wash clean clean before you cook and eat. So far, still got nobody die all of the sudden from eating vegetables from the market yet.
Or you can eat organic sayur. Of course it’s much better lah.
You can buy organic sayur from the supermarket.
Or you can plant it yourself.
If you plant it yourself:
Even if you grow it so badly that the organic sayur is blue colour, korang korang also you know for sure that it’s organic kan? You won’t spray ridsect on the sayur that you are planning to eat what.
Your house got space la. Don’t waste mah.
If your house got children, it’s good for them. It’s good for them to see organic sayur being planted, harvested, cooked and eaten. It will help them view the world and our environment with more empathy and care when they grow up.
In our small but persistent way, we help to cut down the country’s food import bill lah, reduce world hunger lah, and even level down the amount of carbon dioxide in the air oh.
Ok fine fine. Let’s assume that it’s good to plant organic sayur. Now how?
