Day tour in Meifung Farm

8/7/2013

Today, we wake up early to have a bird watch. But honestly, I think the bird watch is not an interesting one. I think that the biodiversity of birds in Taiwan was very high. Taiwan was separated form mainland, which provide chances for living things to evolve into new species. However, the trees in Meifung farm  were very rich and close to each other. The leaves block our eye sight and it is difficult for bird watching.
At the afternoon, I attend the lecture about table waste composting and organic vegetable. I think the liquid organic fertilizer and natural defense system mentioned by teacher was very interesting. The liquid organic fertilizer can even toxic to apple snail. Apple snail is a extremely harmful invasive species in Hong Kong. It destroy the plants from local farm and park.  However, the agriculture in Hong Kong do not have a significant position, thus no one study for the solution of apple snail problem. I hope that organic farming can really be launched in Taiwan successful and I can eat the organic vegetables in Taiwan in the future!
