Medicinal Plants and Preparations for Common People

Yang Hejern gave a series of lectures on medicinal plants and their preparation of medicines in October and November.

We've been gathering medicines in between the harvests and when the plants are found.

Applying Natural Fertilizer

Yesterday, we started carry bags of natural fertilizer for the tangerine trees in the farm's polytunnel. We spray a ring around the ground below the ends of the branches. This is where the rootlets are to absorb organic materials.  The bags are heavy and it is good work on our muscles.

Korea Primitive Fire Making Class this Saturday at 1pm

Mulme Healing Farm is proud to be conducting a primitive fire making class on Saturday afternoon at 1pm.
We will tap into a ancient form of firemaking used in certain Asian communities using bamboo called fire saw.

Taping into the ancient art of firemaking is rewarding process that connects people to the landbase in a practical way and forgos the use of lighters or matches that require great energy and cost to manufacture.It is a local material in Jeju, harvesting when dying  By participating in this process you will gain an appreciation of this ancient skills.

The minimum time will take about an hour including a lecture on selecting materials, technique, and demonstration followed by practice on a kit provided. The finish time will depend on when you make fire.

Total Cost is 10,000 won cash for the farm owner, Yang Hejeon.

Sore muscles may result for those not use to the work. We will be using knives for cutting so there will be a knife safety demonstration for those involved.

Please RSVP by Friday evening by texting Greg Sandford at 010-2154-0829 : "Confirm Fire Making Saturday at 1pm, _________(name)."

Have a great day!

The Meditation of Tangerine Picking

Due to the weather, the tangerine picking is taking a long time.  And that's great, for the mind. We cut them and place them delicately in a crate, and sepparate the ones that are too small for regular sale or damaged for our bellies or the rotten ones for the compost.

It's a great time to work on breathing in and out.

We started late November and we should finished in late December with the primary harvest.

Waste Not! Want not!

Mulme Healing Farm has a bunch of pork from a freshly slaughtered pig that must be eaten. Come join us for games and a barbeque. We can feed 6-10. Would tomorrow be too soon? Message me your availability at Greg.A.Sandford@gmail.com.

Making Organic Pesticide

We gather the plant from around our tangerine trees to make organic pesticide. We cut the plant up and then boil for a half an hour to decoct the phytochemicals. We then place it in a container to spray.

 It's useful to protect the vegetables from being eaten by bugs. We spray on the vegetables to keep them from being eaten. It's safe to use unlike chemical pesticides that adhere to the plants and are often absorbed into more porous vegetables such as leaf vegetables or fruits.

It works so well.
