Hello, it's me again. So after almost half a semester, we finally got to do hands on practical on the farm. I haven't really been in shape so this was really tiring. Anyway, on we go.
For this week, we were tasked to clear out the farm land, and oh boy was it hard. The land was basically stranded and has tons of overgrown weeds and such. One of my classmates also said that they encountered a snake in the area. Real dangerous stuff here. Despite all odds, we actually did a decent job on it, considering that this was a first time for some of us.
For the tools, we were given machetes and hoe. I would like to point out that you should wear gloves. Friction caused by the tools is not a joke. Safety first people. The weeds were piled up in an area and then was burned down. Ideally, you want to fully remove all the weeds. Usage of herbicides is recommended if you want to do a full scale farming plot. However, in our case, we did not use any herbicides at all.
