Our Geography & Resources Management (GRMG) students took soil science learning beyond the classroom with a hands‑on visit to Tai Lung Experimental Farm, a leading site for organic and sustainable agriculture in Hong Kong!

Here’s what they learned

Composting: Turning Waste into Soil Power
Students explored how farm waste becomes nutrient‑rich compost—learning about moisture control, temperature monitoring, and the Carbon:Nitrogen ratios that fuel healthy soil life.

The GRMG students are examining the materials used in the compost-making process.

Eco-Friendly Pest Control
Instead of chemicals, the farm uses nature’s own predators! Students spotted Forked-horned bug nymphs (叉角厲蝽若蟲) taking on common pests like cabbage caterpillars (菜青蟲) and wheat weevils (麥皮蟲) —real-world biological control in action.

A GRMG student examined the potato plant to check for possible pest infestation.

Traditional Sowing Techniques
Before mechanised farming, everything was done by hand. Students tried traditional sowing and watering techniques to better understand plant growth and soil–plant interactions.

A GRMG student gains firsthand experience with traditional farming practices.

Bringing Soil Science to Life
From compost piles to crop beds, the visit helped our students connect theory with practice—gaining real insight into sustainable farming and environmental resource management.
