1
Bamboo is the most incredible plant in the world because we can use them for everything.
2
We have bamboo more than 200 varieties all over the world in Southeast Asian country.
3
If we go back about 30 years back, bamboo is in our life.
4
We use bamboo for building houses, for making tools, make food, make everything.
5
When we have bamboo, that means we have everything.
6
And bamboo can grow back very fast.
7
Every year, they double, triple very fast after that.
8
So it's the natural resources that they produce faster than anything.
9
we can also eat the young shoot of bamboo like this
10
it is the best food for us for many many generations
11
so bamboo is the miracle plant we start to use more bamboo in building more
12
and more now this building is adobe house but we make the whole roof with bamboo.
13
It lasts very long.
14
It's very beautiful and very cool.
15
So bamboo can be used for everything.
16
Now I think it's important to go back to bamboo
17
because they grow back very fast and it's so cheap and it's so easy.
18
So good to eat them too.
19
There are many way to grow bamboo but the old way
20
that people did in the past it is to dig up the root of the stem any stem of bamboo
21
that still look green we can use them pull them up
22
like this you can dig them up the at least you need to get the roots like it
23
if you have roots like this they always survive they will not die easily This is the old way of planting bamboo.
24
In the past people grow a lot of bamboo everywhere
25
but the technique the easy technique is just dig up the
26
root like this from the bamboo clump just one piece of this
27
and bury them underground and then they grow back again so it lasts for many many years.
28
Bamboo is very easy to grow.
29
The best time to grow bamboo is the beginning of rainy season
30
because if you grow in dry season we need to water them all the time.
31
If we start in the beginning of rainy season we don't need to water at all they just grow by themselves.
32
Dig a small hole the depth is about 8 centimeters and then
33
put the bamboo stem in there cover with dirt very well
34
and then step on it make it very packed and tight
35
so it will not move that's all another technique how to
36
grow bamboo is just cut the stem the branches of the bamboo like the one
37
that stick out like this we cut them and
38
we can cut only the stem or we can cut the whole joy of it
39
and then we can plant them like that
40
this is the part that we can grow them so if we have the branches and a joint like this
41
they will grow back or sometimes you can cut only the branches no joint it's okay too
42
but to have like this they grow faster so either way is fine
43
the technique to grow is similar to the same technique the
44
first technique just dig a hole in the ground first not too deep
45
or maybe about five centimeters or up to eight centimeters is okay
46
and then we put the bamboo in there
47
and cover with the dirt very well
48
and then step on it pack it very tight
49
so to prevent moving is very important part of it because
50
when the bamboo start to have roots
51
if we move them the root will be break
52
so they can die after that but if we make it tight
53
or put some stick around to make a fence around it
54
so nobody will not check it
55
so it will survive for sure after we plant them we need to make sure
56
that the soil will not dry up
57
we need to water them if it's too dry that's why
58
when we grow in rainy season they always have rain the soil always wet
59
so they will survive for sure only one month we can
60
see the new shoot start to grow from the joint of the bamboo that's mean
61
if we can see the new shoot come out like this that's mean the roots underground start to grow too
62
so they will not die for sure if we don't check them if we don't move them.
63
This one has no new shoot come out yet.
64
That means they don't have root yet but they're not dyed because they're still green.
65
Soon they're gonna grow back.
66
This is how much it can grow in six months.
67
So bamboo they grow so fast if we take care of them well
68
and then if you have very good soil even have enough compost of food they even faster than this
69
bamboo grow faster than we think another way to propagate the bamboo is we cut under the branches
70
where it stick with the stem like this.
71
We use the metal blade, metal saw, cut them about two-thirds of it, almost break off, but not break off.
72
That's good enough.
73
And then we can use dirt to wrap around it.
74
We call grafting.
75
Then we put the compost or dirt on top of the plastic, a piece of plastic like this.
76
And then wrap around where we cut them.
77
wrap very well and then tie it with the rope
78
or the string very well both sides
79
and then this technique is it's very quick we can leave it like this for seven days
80
and then when we come back we can see the roots the new root grow inside after
81
that we just cut them break them apart and we can plant them
82
but before we plant them it's good to nurse them in the nursery area first
83
or if you want to sell them in the market we can put in the plastic bag.
84
After we see the root, we just put in the plastic bag like this.
85
So this is ready to bring it anywhere and sell it.
86
So crafting to make the seedling of bamboo is very good business.
87
Everywhere in Thailand, you can buy many kinds of bamboo like this.
88
So it's easy way to make money.
89
How to harvest bamboo to use to make house, to make tools, to make everything?
90
What we need to know is the young bamboo like this.
91
If it look green like this, that means this bamboo is younger than one year.
92
But if the color look like this, look dark color like this.
93
That means it's older than one year, older than two years.
94
If the bamboo older than two years, we can cut them and use them.
95
It will last long.
96
There's no bug eating.
97
But if it's young like this, the young one look green and you can see the bark wrap around it.
98
So this kind of bamboo, if you use them, the bugs gonna eat them
99
so it will not last really long so
100
when we harvest bamboo we need to know we cut the old bamboo
101
and the most important thing is the bamboo have to be
102
harvest at the end of the dry season this is the best time to harvest bamboo
103
because they will last longer the bugs will not eat them If we harvest in rainy season, a lot of bugs love it.
104
Bamboo save a lot of food in the stem during rainy season and then they will use them during the dry season.
105
But at the end of dry season, all the food will run down.
106
So they have no food in the stem.
107
Bug will not love it because no food in there.
108
If we harvest bamboo that older than 2 years and then harvest them at the end of dry season,
109
it will last more than 50 years.
110
But if not, we need to soak with borax and boric acid.
111
The recipe that we use is 1 kg of boric acid and borax and 20 liters of water.
112
Then we soak bamboo in there 7 days.
113
After soak for 7 days, we take it out and dry them.
114
And then we can use them.
115
It will last more than 40 years.
116
It lasts very long.
117
So no bugs, nothing to disturb bamboo is good for building another way
118
that we use bamboo is eat them as the bamboo shoot is
119
the very delicious food because it tastes sweet a little bit sweet it tastes good but raw bamboo is bitter.
120
Most of bamboo can be eaten.
121
It's edible mostly.
122
But some kind of bamboo can be very bitter.
123
Some kind is not bitter.
124
But before we eat bamboo, we always cook them first, boil them for at least half an hour and the bitterness will go away.
125
We pour the water out
126
and then we can eat them after
127
that we can use them for cooking in different way sometimes we like to grill them first
128
so it will peel off the layer that wrap around the bamboo easily
129
because the hair around the layer is very itchy sometimes
130
but we need to boil them after
131
that we can chop them scrape them like this to make it smaller piece
132
and then we boil them after that
133
and then we can eat we can cook it with any
134
recipe is good there are many way to slide them thin to make them become a long strip
135
so different way of cooking we need different shape of bamboo
136
and then we can boil them again after
137
that this is bamboo salad is only garlic onion chilies
138
and mint and fish sauce mixed together it tastes
139
so good it's simple
140
but good we eat bamboo almost every week here is normal
141
food for us sometimes we just boil the whole bamboo in a big pot
142
for a while and then we just peel them off
143
and eat them like this
144
so bamboo shoot is everywhere in Thailand people eat a lot
145
of them bamboo used to play very big roles in our
146
life in the past it become everything you become houses it become tools it become basket bucket
147
and trays and everything it become food So,
148
after the plastic came, people forgot the bamboo.
149
And when we started to use more plastic, we had more problems, we had more garbage, we had more health problems also,
150
and then we had to spend more money.
151
I think it's not too late to think about going back, going back to bamboo.
152
Bamboo is here.
153
Bamboo is waiting for us.
154
They're ready to propagate more.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
