SHARE FARM UITM JASIN MELAKA

Asslamualaikum to everyone. i hope all of you in a good health and happy today. This week I will continue explain and telling to you about my activity at the share farm Uitm Jasin. On this week, our planting bed is already settled with others work, and we just doing the general maintenance for the planting bed such as watering the plants, cleaning the drains, remove the weeds on our planting bed and others. Besides that, we also take some initiative to make a shelter on our farm because the functions of the shelter was to protects us from the sun's heat when all of us take a rest. This idea to make the shelter was came from our lecturer Miss Azlina. 

Find the oil palm fronds

Together we build the shelter

Put the oil palm fronds on the top of the shelter as a roof

This shelter was design by all of us that its can put all of us under the shelter. We have only use the balance of the branch from the wood we finds for the staking process. Its enough to builds big shelter for us because the balance of the woods was so many. 

After this shelter finish the builds we can used of its for resting and eats together under the shelter. It is really function and useful to us that we are not doing the useless work.

General Maintenance 

We must do the general maintenance to our planting bed to make sure its free from disease and pest. We must cleans the planting bed from the fallen leaves because it's can cause fungi to our our crops.

Clear the drains to make sure the water can flow freely or not it's will make our planting bed hit by the flood.

We are also must remove and clear the pest that eats the leaves. This pest it's not good for our crop because it's eat the leaves that can disturb the photosynthesis process.
