雞糞是一種本地蔬菜農場常用的肥料，通常會直接用在泥土中。雞糞當中過高的的氮磷鉀，久缺適量的碳及中微量元素作平衡，意味它不可能是理想的土壤改良劑。過量使用雞糞會傷害泥土，使泥土鹽化和壓實。這是農夫的惡夢，卻是病蟲害的天堂！
在復元計劃的前半部分，我們的顧問及技術支援提供者(TAPs)一直努力輔助昌哥減少雞糞的用量，取而代之的，是為土壤微生物及作物提供均勻的營養的堆肥及各種物料。得知昌哥最近豐收的黃色翠玉瓜完全不用雞糞，實在是一大鼓舞！很明顯，好的收成和環境健康之間不必存在矛盾。
Freshly made fish EM ferments. After several months, these ferments would be diluted and sprayed to the soil to provide nutrients and beneficial microbes. Chicken manure is no longer needed.
Yellow zucchini grown with compost and fish ferments, without any use of chicken manure. From only a few rows of the plants, 20 catties of zucchini were produced weekly over the harvest period. They grow so fast that they have to be harvested twice a day!
Worker putting mulch on a vegetable row. Theoretically, mulch can be applied to any kind of field to protect the soil underneath. In practice, some leafy greens like choy sum have such a short life cycle that by the time they are big enough to mulch, they are almost ready for harvest. It is therefore reasonable for farmers to only mulch for veggies with a longer life cycle like the Chinese kale here.
Compost to be applied to the field. Before going to the field, the compost is first mixed with cattle horn shavings, bio-fertilizer granules and a little water. The pile heats up a little and will be left for a week to cool before use.
