After purchasing sacks of goat manure, today was the day to put it to good use. Fresh manure cannot be applied directly to durian trees—it would burn them. Instead, it must go through a fermentation process first.
Papa began by emptying the manure onto a plastic sheet laid over the ground. There was a significant amount to handle, and with each sack weighing around 50 kg, we had to be extra careful while lifting, opening, and pouring the contents to avoid injury.
Once a sufficient amount of manure was spread, it was time to add the fermentation starter—EM4, an agricultural product that helps break down organic matter and enhance soil fertility. The process involved mixing a portion of EM4 into a bucket of water, ensuring it blended evenly before pouring it over the manure. This was then spread out evenly before repeating the same steps with the next batch.
The fermentation process now begins. Over the next few weeks, the manure will transform into a rich, organic fertilizer ready to nourish our durian trees. Depending on environmental conditions, this can take anywhere from one week to two months, but in our case, it should be ready in about 2–3 weeks.
Without hard work like this, a profitable durian harvest would be just a dream. But seeing our trees grow, knowing we are contributing to a sustainable ecosystem, and working in the fresh air—it’s all deeply rewarding.
This is the essence of a farmer’s life: patience, persistence, and the promise of a future harvest.
