Floating gardens used as orchards are enriched with nutrients water

Floating gardens used as orchards are enriched with nutrients water, but certainly the most characteristic detail of the place is the widespread move mode driven boat “with the leg rowing style” that made them famous. Most people like it in Myanmar tour or Burma tour package.

 
Firstly, naturally occurring clumps of water hyacinth, “seagrass” and other lake debris are captured by the farmer and secured in position using bamboo poles. These are driven into the deep mud at the bottom of the lake, in areas of water between 1 and 5 metres deep.

The newly created island is allowed to knit together, and grass is encouraged to grow on the surface. The grass is then cut, dried and finally burned to create a nutritious dressing of ash. More “seagrass” is heaped on top, with a final layer of fine mud from the bottom of the lake. Eventually the mats become 1m thick with about a third of that above water level. They are very stable, although I declined an invitation to stand on one. What a coward!
