Right, we just looked at that, that far chamber there. Now I'm pologize for this contrast problem here. This The sun is quite strong. So what I want to show you is what the basically has happened here is they're either loading this in, it's kind of hard to tell it's all the same material. I assume it's being offloaded after being processed. Because I'm seeing a mixture of a little bit of organic animal dung and soil on both of these piles.

But basically, you go ahead and load this in by layers, hopefully by layers. And you let that go ahead and percolate with moisture, not too much moisture. And then if it's too big like dish and you can't turn it over and do it in the process, then You're going to want to put enough air ration into the process by having thick layers of this dead grass such as what I'm showing you right there. That works in between these, these denser layers of the organics. So they've gone ahead, I assume, and they're cleaning this out. And here we have a slightly hot but a usable compost product here worthy of going into our or fields, depending on what it is that they are new to refining.

In this particular example, there's our friend the wheel barrel, which will go ahead and do the final loading maybe into the individual gardens and greenhouses. Now, if you take a look in the distance here, we've got yet more greenhouses in This area we've got farm workers there. Don't know if you can catch that but in the far distance on the end through the greenhouse you see what looks to me to be very large mustard plants or at least the the flowers tend to be looking like mustard and they are ready for harvest right now. So this is a full farm operation here. Let me just without boring you too much. Let me traipse on up here so you can get some more looks.

Again, another shot of that that faraway mustard. We've got a local papaya here, which is surprising to me. But Paya does grow in Pokhara Naipaul here at 800 meters in the mountains tends to be a little bit more of a tropical grower. We have regular Annual vegetables you see here growing some some radish is some radish ready for picking is growing here we've got onions in, in this field not sure what they are inter cropped with here seems to be almost pure onion planting here. But yeah, it appears to be a standard sort of a row arrangement, although no, not well defined, which, to their credit. They did not drain this field.

It looks like for the most part, it's retained its nutrients and what do we have here? They've gone ahead and done their due diligence. We've got an entire army of leaf bags, which they go ahead They use to mulch the ground. Now, why do we mulch This is a little bit of review mulch. Mulch is not only to create organic matter for the sub soil environment as a cover as a nutritive, add addition, later as it composts itself, but also to reduce evaporation to reduce the amount of weeds that will insinuate themselves in there it is also something that tends to be a you know, heat reflection so it does reduce the soil temperature, the the sub soil environment temperature as well. Very important in the in the hot and dry months.

So it's kind of a temperature regulator just by being carbonaceous and being thrown down on the ground. It does a whole lot of jobs. They're very human. handy to have mulch on top of your compost literally. Alright, so this is just showing you and then we're off in the distance there again with that with that field.
