It may seem counterintuitive, but I actually like to find pests and bugs in our vegetables, at least these are signs that pesticides likely haven't been used for many weeks leading up to the harvest.

I can relate. I've seen a lot of people going for the "perfect" leaves when buying leafy vegetables. For us who know how pesticides are sometimes being drenched to vegetables for a high yield, we prefer those that have those yummy protein-rich worms. It is an indication that it pesticide free. 😊

The cliff makes me a bit worried. Maybe you should see of the possibility of reinforcing that with stone wall.

Yep, I agree, cosmetically beautiful veggies are not required, and as chemicals get cheaper and cheaper, more and more farmers here in Cambodia are choosing chemical farming.

Our neighbor actually owns an excavator, and about 10km from here, I saw an excavator enter the river at low water and move boulders to one side for reinforcement. He said he could do this at the right time of the years, and we've estimated it might cost around $1,000 USD to reinforce the riverbank along our entire property with boulders moved from the opposite side and the middle of the river.
