Go green

Be environmentally friendly

Use paper bags instead of plastic ones

Takakura Home-composting Method (Part Three)

Posted by MGS enzymes at 7:23 AM

The officers are back!! Let's check the containers of soil mixture. We are ready for the final step.

Prepare to line the baskets with recycled cardboard.

This is how you do it. Open up a used carton. Line the basket like this. Cut the flaps so that they can go over the rim neatly. Be careful with the knife, though. You do not want to hurt your fingers. Then punch some holes and secure the cardboard with raffia to prevent it from moving out of place.

Pour a container of soil mixture into the basket.

There. Nice and neat.

Wear gloves or some used plastic bags. Loosen the soil with your fingers.

Break the pieces of food such as bread crumbs, leftover food or kitchen waste into the basket.

Phewwww!!! What a stench. Did something die in here?

Mix the leftover food into the soil. Ensure it's thoroughly incorporated into the whole basket of soil.

Finally, cover the baskets with some trash bags and leave them in a shaded area. Poke some holes in the trash bags with satay sticks for ventilation. The compost will be ready in one month. This will make wonderful fertilizers for the school or home garden. All natural.

Solar Cooking!! This is a great way to save gas and electricity. It helps the environment and also our pockets.


These are some simple things we need. Ask the Rangers and Pn Loke how to do it. Their cooking tastes super yummy.

Takakura Home-composting Method (Part Two)

Posted by MGS enzymes at 9:03 AM

Here's the second exciting episode of Takakura Home-composting Method. Let's check our jars from last week. Ooo, what have they become?? Looks hairy!!

Eeeks, it's ALIVE!!

What's that black hairy stuff doing in the jars?? Is something moving inside there?? Heelppp!!

Are these the Ali Baba jars of oil? Hehe, let's hear from them. Hello, anyone in there?

Are the girls keeping far away from the jars in case they explode?
Looks more like dancing to me

Ok, here goes. Get a bag of garden soil.

Pour the bag of soil into the container

Weigh the soil

The girls are putting the bag of soil into another container. Good work

Now weigh the paddy husk (sekam). 2 parts soil to 1 part husk.

Mix the sekam into the container of soil

Here comes the interesting part.

Pour the jar of fermented enoki mushrooms, cabbage leaves and orange peels into the soil-husk mixture

Mix them thoroughly. Good work, Yinqi!

This is what it looks like now. A bit like your breakfast muesli.

Then add the jar of tempeh and brown sugar

Look at my hand. Anyone for an invigorating face scrub?

We want to have some fun too


Yehhh, meeee too. Me tooooo.

Nice texture. Now you can make little cookies with this stuff. hehe. kidding

Close the containers and put them away in a shady corner until next week.

Check out our muscles. We're strong

Clean and dry all the used jars

Now let's wait for next week's exciting final episode. Be patient. No peeking into the containers. You'll never know what you may find inside them. Escaped wildlife?? Pythons? Iguanas? Anaconda? African tortoise? Wait and see.
