Hi Amazing Nature (AN) Community Friends wherever you are, how are you today? Hopefully you are well and can carry out your daily activities smoothly. I also wish you a pleasant day enjoying the extraordinary nature.

I returned again among all my friends with several photos of nature which were portraits of the area around where I live, as usual these photos were of the nature around where I live with an unspoiled natural feel.

Some time ago I visited a friend who was in his garden, of course it was very pleasant to be in my friend's garden, I felt very comfortable in the natural atmosphere because it was a bit isolated and far from people's houses.

This garden is near a river, the sounds of birds and the sound of river water can be heard clearly here.

Part of the garden has been plowed and is being planted with tobacco plants. Some of the plants look fresh and still small because they have only been removed from polybags for four days and planted here.
Everything is done manually, the only machine used in this garden is a hand tractor.

This tool is used to plow the land to be planted, after that all subsequent processes only use ordinary agricultural tools. This tobacco plant is not given any organic fertilizer, the only fertilizer given is organic fertilizer or compost which comes from the manure of the community's cows.

That's what the compost that is applied to tobacco plants looks like. The dirt has been shaped like soil because it has been left for a long time in people's livestock pens. These tobacco plants are also not sprayed with insecticides, pests in the plants or around the garden will be picked off and thrown away. That's the process from seeding to harvest according to their claims.

This is a tobacco plant that has just been moved from a polybag and planted here. The tobacco seeds were planted four days ago and look very fresh, meaning this plant has grown.

If after a few days of planting the seeds appear to have grown then the compost will be sprinkled around the plants, this compost can even be sprinkled directly on the plants and will not cause the plants to die or interfere with the growth of the tobacco plants, because the organic fertilizer has really become like soil and is rich in nutrient.

As I explained above, according to them, this plant does not use any chemicals. Even if there are pests, whether insects or other pests, these pests will be taken from tobacco stalks or around the garden area and thrown away.

According to them, you need to be careful when looking for pests on tobacco leaves, because the eggs of pests are very small and usually these pests lay their eggs at the base of the leaves. If it escapes observation and the egg hatches, of course it becomes a threat. However, even if you see them, you need to be careful when collecting the eggs so as not to break the leaves or shoots of the tobacco plant.

These tobacco leaves will later be sold and then made into cigars by cigar factories. However, my friend only plants and cares for it, because once it can be harvested, the buyer will pick the tobacco leaves themselves that meet the standards to be purchased.

Discarded leaves or those that do not meet their standards will be left and tobacco farmers will chop them and process them as raw materials for regular cigarettes or non-cigars. This also requires special skills to do, if possible I will share again how the process of processing these leaves into material that can be used to make cigarettes. Of course it will still be a long time and hopefully these tobacco farmers will not have their harvests fail.

Thank you to friends who have come and seen my post this time, I hope you like it and are entertained. See you in the next post.
