Sahai Nan Permaculture Organic Farm 沙海南樸門有機農場

Sahai Nan Permaculture Organic Farm 沙海南樸門有機農場





沙海南有機農場是位於Nan省北部的Thung Chang區,算是比較偏遠的地方,這裡沒什麼光害,每天晚上的星星都非常地美麗,這裡很自然及景觀也不錯,很新鮮的空氣,清晨可以在小鳥的歌聲中起床。
Sahainai Farm is in Thung Chang District of Nan Province. It’s more remote place without light pollution and always very wonderful starry sky every night. I enjoyed the fresh air and bird singing everyday here as well.

如果要學習簡單生活及自給自足,這裡也是很好的地方。這裡的生活非常地簡單,甚至也沒有電跟瓦斯,其實他們是有一個太陽能板提供低功率的發電,但那通常僅供手機、手電筒、筆電的充電使用,這裡的有山泉水可使用,且水源很乾淨,不過當然喝的水還是得過濾後再喝才安心,這裡的過濾系統也很簡單,利用了重力來完成,他們將過濾的設備(就是像碳、石、沙放在網子裡)放在水桶的最上方,溪水接管放在水桶的上方往下流後,我們打開下方的水龍頭就能直接喝,當然對於太習慣於舒適便利生活的人可能得花更長的時間適應。

It’s also an ideal place if you’re interested to learn simple living and self-sufficiency. Life is so simple even there’s no electricity and gas. Actually, there’s one solar panel to offer very low loading of electricity and normally only offer for charging cell phone, torch and laptop. There’s very clean spring water available here, but surely we still need to filter the water for drinking. The filtering process is also simple with gravity. They put those water filtering system (net, charcoal, gravel &sand) on the top of drinking barrel with a tap in the bottom. We put the hose of spring on the top of barrel if we need to fill up the barrel and we could get the drinking water from the tap in the end. But this kind of life maybe is tough for those people get used of very comfortable and convenient life.

在這裡他們儘可能地使用他們現有的資源,且很充份地使用,縱然物資不多,但他們知道更多東西的使用知識,所以感覺不餘饋乏,但這麼多的志工且才剛開始的園區,我們的食物很明顯地不足,所以場主們得到市場買菜才行。場主沙海甚至也一直持續研究著更簡單的農耕方式,那裡的白蟻很多,他看見白蟻的好處,白蟻是如此地強壯可以啃這麼多的木頭,它很多成長及其分泌物質都留在它們的窩裡,所以研究用白蟻窩來作成有益菌以加強植物的扺抗力及對抗病蟲害,很多果樹生病主要是因為根不夠強壯,澆了稀釋的白蟻窩有益菌後很多病害都解決了;生長很快的植物如香蕉、蕃茄、小黃瓜等表示有很多成長的賀爾蒙,用他們來做酵素使用,可以讓植物長得較快,用農場現有的東西來做有益菌解決問題,以加強微生物及植物的力量為重點,不然坊間總得花很多金錢跟資源來灑藥或施肥,且對土地也不好。在這裡我才知道不只洛神的花可吃,它的葉可拿做沙拉、香蕉的花與莖也能做菜、薑黃除了做黃粉外也可以很好用的藥…..這讓我想起沙卡先生的著作理想農業,書中舉出很多植物的特性及其很多用途,沙卡先生鼓勵我們建立合諧健康的社會,而那整體農業的規劃應以建立自給自足為目標,不應依賴外來資源。

白蟻窩有益菌製作 Termite house EM
step1: termite house白蟻窩
step2: take them out one pice by pice 一塊一塊地取下

Step 3: one bucket with half cooked white rice準備一水桶並裝上半熟白飯
Step 4:put water & termite house 再加上水及 白蟻窩

They try to use what they have first and do their best to utilize fullest. Even it seems there’re not lot of resource here, we don’t feel too much shortage since they know a lot ways to use things. But they do really have to buy more foods from the market since too many volunteers, and it’s just a new farm, not enough food for everybody. The host Sahai keeps doing research of simple farming. These days, he even uses termite house to help plants growing. He was thinking to get the “strength” quality from termite to make the stronger roots of the plants. And he started to make termite house EM(effective Microorganisms) from a lot of termite houses in their forest. After regular spray those termite EM dilution, some sick fruit trees get much better he said. He tried on the vegetable garden and those vegetables also grow better. The termite EM makes stronger their immunity system and those crops get free from the pest. He also tried to get the “fast growing quality” from banana trunks (because they have a lot in their farm as well) and make it into enzyme. Those plants supposed to grow faster after spray those enzyme dilution enzyme regulary We could get more growing hormone from those plants grow very fast like banana, cucumber, tomatoes….  It’s so important to do more research or get knowledge to improve agriculture.  It seems he focuses on stronger the microorganism to help plants growing in his research. Most of farmers spent a lot of money to buy chemical and fertilizer to maintain the garden. But it’s not good for the earth in the end. That’s a better idea to make EM by what we have to help plants, isn’t it? I learned to take Roselle leaves as sala ( I only know how to use the Roselle flowers before). Flowers and young trunks of banana also could be cooked like vegetable. That reminds me the book “ideal farming” from Mr. Shrii P.R.Sarkar. He mentioned a lot of the way to use different plants and different functions in the book. Mr. Shrii P.R.Sarkar inspired us to establish a very healthy and harmony society and that should get self-reliance in our farming projects, hence they should be oriented towards production and should not dependent on outside resources.

這裡算是新開始的樸門園區,在2014年的9月中才開始這個園區,我過去當志工時他們才剛開始二個月,但很訝異地,他們己經頗有樣子了,沙海分享著當初在決定承租土地時,這附近有兩塊地可出租,一塊地是很漂亮可一望無際的平原,很討喜;另一塊是高高低低不同地形的森林地,他選擇了這高高低低不同的森林山坡地,因為他主要是需要在此達到自給自足,而森林裡有很多食物、資源及水源。

This farm is just new started from mid Sep 2014. Only 2 months old farm while I was volunteering there. But amazing to see what they have been done. Sahai said in the beginning there were 2 farms available for renting here. One is a flat land with very beautiful view. People love that kind of land so much. The other is the forest with bumpy land in the hill. He chose the forest mountain because his main goal is to get self-sufficiency and surely there’re more diversity, more foods, resource and water in the forest.

在租下這塊地,完成大體規劃後,沙海先安排怪手把大地形給準備好,該開的土溝也一起開挖,他設計的重點是把東西放在正確的位置達到自給自足,舉例來說,木材用樹如柚木應就種在較高的山上,果樹應種山的在較低處,因木材用樹是不喜歡太多水才能長得強壯及長得堅硬,而果樹需要有較多水及肥沃的土地(地心引力把水跟肥都往下帶了);廚房菜園得設在方便管理維護的地方,而廚房該安排在那附近,且具備水及良好的生活機能;除了蔬菜、水果、建材外,也需要很多的澱粉食物,這裡有不絕的山泉水,水算充足,所以也開溝以後種水稻田,當然他們都儘可能地保留更多的小池塘,以確保一直有充沛的水源可用。

After finish the rough master plan, Sahai arranged excavator to finish prepare the land and all the swells first. The main point in his design is “to put right thing in the right place”. For examples, put hardwoods in higher place of hill and fruit trees in lower place of hill since hardwoods need dry place to get themselves stronger and fruit trees need more nutrition in the lower place. Kitchen garden should be arranged with easier maintaining place. And the kitchen should be just near it with water and all that convenient life elements. Besides vegetables, fruits, nuts and construction woods, they need the main starch food as well. A lot of spring water available here and also good weather for rice. They decided to have rice plantation in the future. They also tried to keep more ponds here to make sure always water available.


完成大致的廚房及菜園後,再來先來蓋幾間小屋,以方便生活及接待一起來工作的志工,這裡的竹子很多,沙海可以用一把砍刀一天內就可以把這些竹子蓋成小屋,可是為了更穩固些,還是用山上的柚木當樑柱先,為了節省時間,茅草屋頂就直接跟村裡的人買現成的(這是唯一他得花錢買的)。我在這裡當志工只有一週,但前二天就跟著他們把一間小屋蓋起來,我們一群志工一起去山上砍柚木及搬柚木下來,量水平、立柱及樑,接著綁好一片片的屋頂後就綁著一根根地板的結構,最後舖上竹子打出來的一片片平地板後就完成一間臨時小屋以供志工居住,沙海跟他的女友己事先準備很多的竹繩供我們綁木頭,以竹子打成地板看起來容易,其實做起來真不簡單,最後還是沒學起來。

The hut is almost done簡單的小屋快完成了
After roughly finish the kitchen and the garden, should construct several huts for volunteers stay as well. With all the bamboo surrounding, only use one machete, himself could finish one temporary small hut in one day. But to make it stronger, better to get teak woods for poles instead, to get ready roof leaves (buy from villagers) to save time. Those roof leaves are the only one item he has to buy. I only volunteered here for one week, but feel a lot of works done. I helped them to finish one temporary hut in the first 2 days. We cut and moved those teak woods together, check the balance, set poles and frames, tight those roof leaves one by one, finish the frame for floor and make floor to put on the floor frame in the end. And that hut was ready for another volunteer. Surely before that, Sahai and his girlfriend already prepared a lot of bamboo tights for us. To make floor by bamboo looks so easy but not at all while I was trying to make. I still couldn’t make it my own after finish volunteering there.

我們每天早上吃完早餐後沙海跟大家開個簡單的會議,了解大家喜歡做的事,也討論今天要做的事情,共同的工作,他會帶著我們大家一起做,有些志工有意完成的事情,他會放手給志工自己去做,只有在必要時給予意見或讓其他志工也一起幫忙,很多原本我們沒自信完成的案子,最後都幾乎還是可以自己獨立完成增加以後自己進行基地的自信,在這一週的志工期間裡,除了小屋外,也幾乎完成了另一座廁所的化糞池。
Let's start meeing 來開會吧
Sahai has a meeting with all of us after breakfast to know what we like to do and to discuss what we are going to do today. Some urgent and collective work, he leads us to do together if there’s no other experienced volunteer guide us. Some volunteers’ project he let volunteer finish it his own and only give some help or suggestion while necessary. Whatever, it seems in the end, we are all manage to finish the project and gain more confident to start our own project in the future (that’s not so difficult as our imagine). In the week I volunteered here, besides the hut, also attended to one project to finish the toilet septic tank.

除了開放志工外,這裡舉辦實務的樸門課程(除了樸門原則外,也加入更多實務的技巧與其經驗研究分享)、自然建築…..等的課程。他們想把這個地方變成樸門的教育及示範中心,培養在地及全世界的樸門種子。
Besides volunteers project, they also hold several courses like pratical permaculture course, nature building to share their experience. They want to make this place a permaculutre education and demostration center for local and all people from all around the world.
