I love to follow 墾丁國家公園友善農業 Kenting National Park Friendly Agriculture and everything that they do in Kenting. Kenting is not only about travel & relaxing near the beach; this new post from them proves this again.
This new lesson was taught by teachers Liao Wen-Quan and Chen Zhen-Yin, focusing on friendly techniques for growing vegetables and fruits, primarily tomatoes, vegetables, and lettuce.
The crops in the field are all grown using environmentally friendly “intercropping” methods. For example, cucumbers are intercropped with tomato plants, utilizing the scent of tomato leaves to repel insects, which benefits cucumber growth.
Next to cauliflower, crops like scallions, leeks, and rapeseed flowers are planted, using the natural pungency of these plants to drive away pests.
This reduces the likelihood of disease and insect attacks on the main crops, allowing the garden’s produce to grow healthily in a natural environment while also considering sustainable environmental development.
