Our sole moringa tree

Moringa or remunggai tree was the one plant that attracted my attention during the last MAHA expo November last year. The little seedling as giveaway by the CFF research team (CFF - Crop for the Future) had finally set foot (or rather root) at our garden in Seri Iskandar Perak. The little seedlings had really grown.

Moringa/remunggai January 2015

So our sole moringa young seedling has to grow and survive without us around. This tree is supposed to be versatile, able to grow in variety of soil condition and said to be draught tolerant.  I wonder if snails are sniffing around and just hope they would allow their new friend Moringa grow healthy and strong for years to come...

It was said moringa can grow up to 4 meters and can bear fruits within the first year (moringa - Michigan Technological University ) . Judging by the height it has achieved within a month in little pot, I can imagine it's height at the end of the year and  the menu carried down the generations, masak lemak and dalca with buah remunggai. I also used to see my late mother mixing up asin-asin and moringa leaves with food leftovers for the chickens. Moringa is definitely a truly useful plant.

    This old fashion but has a lot of benefits is one of the 'most wanted' plant on my plant list to be grown on my garden. Here, this plant is usually grown by cutting as hedge.

    Clear tarpaulins are ideal for tasks that require a high level of light infiltration. Clear Tarpaulin includes 50cm of spacing between metal eyelets on all four sides, as well as PVC reinforced hems. These are used to hold and collect debris during painting as well as during building construction. These heavy-duty tarps are ideal for jobs that demand maximum light transmission.
