Hello Mariette, Carrying all that heavy compost is hard work, but imagine carrying it up an incline (or down for that matter)! It's amazing their joints don't give out. Taipei is surrounded by mountains, but luckily the central city is in a low spot and is relatively flat. There are wonderful parks in the mountains and I have gone hiking there, but it is not the type of walking I would love to do everyday. Your video clip today shows some absolutely stunning scenery! --Jim
Dearest Jim, We westerners are not trained for doing such climbing and it is amazing how those people manage. It is also awfully hard to carry the cabbage or whatever down the incline! Pieter still has seen them in the 1970s walk all the way to the bigger town for selling their produce. Later transport became an easier way. Hiking takes a lot of muscle power and training. Both of us miss that scenery, it was such a lovely scenery and especially in the early mornings! Hugs, Mariette
Dearest Anne, All those terraces are done by manual labor since no tractor or any machine can go there... Quite a challenge for adding the spent mushroom compost to those fields and having to carry it up! The same is true for the yielded product, has to be carried down. Hugs, Mariette
Querida Antónia, Sí, si lo has hecho tú mismo, entonces lo aprecias aún más. ¡Mucha gente no tiene idea de cómo se cultiva su comida! Abrazos, Mariette
Un bellissimo lavoro,bravi!
ReplyDeleteCara Olga,
DeleteSoprattutto, il compost di funghi esaurito era così benefico per l'orticoltura nella regione.
Abbracci,
Mariette

Really hard work. Difficult to mechanise I guess.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteIt is very hard work and there is hardly any chance for bringing in machines...
Hugs,

Transporting the soil is no easy job. It has been a huge job to make those habitats

El trabajo del campo, es muy sacrificado...eso lo saben muy bien, las personas que se dedican a las faenas agrícolas.
