Talofa. 👋 We do that too to control the weeds and protect the soil from the heat. It’s one reason why we don’t burn at the farm throw everything back on to cover the soil to retain its moisture.
Bring back great memories, our family used to go every saturday morning to our various plantation. Love watching your videos, hard working family esp when it's very hot ❤.
smart......,no doubt from the comfort of my lazy-boy couch in Auckland👍👍👍😁 nah but builds character and as i mentioned previously, its good for kids in the long run been there done that like many others hehe
Kiaora brutha uuu dat looks like good mulch e hoa, keeps da soil moist, ova here I only got weeds n grass clippings I use them the same way I like to weed on hot days so after I pull them the sun kills them then I bag them up in a wool fadge let them compost or cover the piles with a tarp n let them cook then mix it with the grass clippings then pile them around the taro n the riwai n kumara n the tomato coz we got rocks too or dig trenches pile it in there n cover with dirt then plant into it they love it my taro n riwai loves it but I got wool fadges full around here n I like to weed on hot days so the weeds dry out n die n I jus sweep up the rows with my rake n bag them I find the weeds don't grow as fast if I loosen up the soil so the weeds roots are exposed to the sun 😆 Bro there's no easy ways specially in summer jus get a big hat n go hard early morning when the sun's gets too hot hed for the shade come back inna arvo n sweep up the dry weeds 😁 Ka kite ano mauriora Ki Te fanau bro chur chur🤪
I think you should lay those dead coconut leaf down before you plant your taros down you ever try to plant something else besides taro is your soil good for water melons or cabage or onions and garlic or even ginger you got big land much alofas from park city utah
Mainly taros we plant...some tapioca, bananas, pele, papaw,cucumbers,tomatoes, kumara and yams now and again and onions. This plot, not much onions or other veges as too many chickens around that just destroys them.
What's the population in your island or all of niue residing there? Do you speak Samoan because it sounds like from when you say stuff in Samoan name. I'm just asking. 😊
@@LifeOnTheRockNiueIsland I love hearing you speak Vangahau Niue. Living in NZ you meet a lot of Niueans and not many of them speak the mother tongue. I like celebrating Niue Language Week, I wish I knew more so I could help y'all keep it alive.
