There’s a new range of flip-flops in Phuket and they’re a load of rubbish. No, really. Subs sandals are made entirely of recycled plastic sourced from beach and ocean clean-ups, landfill, factory waste and general recy­cling. And for every pair sold, the company pledges to remove half a kilogram – or 1.16 pounds – of debris from the sea.

You don’t expect to find trees with bizarre la­bels such as the “pong-pong”, sausage or can­nonball tree, but all these species, alive and well here in Phuket, are so named on account of their strange fruit.

The turtles seemed a little con­fused at first as we put them onto the beach, just before the spot where waves were rolling in on the white sands. Every­one looked on in anticipation as the turtles began taking a few tentative steps.

Gardening has always been a time-honoured craft, and the tools of the craft reflect that patience in practice. Nowadays, we may have motorised lawn mowers, shredders, trimmers, cultivators and blowers, even chainsaws, but the basic imple­ments are much as they have always been, dependent less on petrol than on perseverance.

Songkran in a water crisis. In modern times, that’s like Christmas when you’ve just found out Santa isn’t real. It’s St Patrick’s Day when the Guin­ness storehouse has run dry.

Waste is one of Phuket’s greatest challenges. Each person on the island generates 1.13 kilograms of waste per day (50% of which is biodegradable). That’s over 1,000 tonnes of waste sent to the Saphan Hin incinerator every day.

Green Thoughts: Vines for the tropic garden
Green Thoughts: Vines for the tropic garden
Monday 11 March 2019, 03:00PM
Many climbers are tough and resilient, but they are not natural vines inasmuch as they lack aids in the form of suckers, twining stems, modified leaves or tendrils to help them cling and ascend. They seek the sun­light, but because they are substantial and weighty, they crave support of some kind or another, a requirement that in­evitably takes up more of the gardener’s time.

Mention the word vine and Mr Average will picture bunches of luscious grapes. If he’s had a few drinks, he may already be confusing the word with its celebrated product – the fermented fruit juice we all know and mostly love. But vines them­selves are not confined to varieties of grape – cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, char­donnay and the rest of that ilk – they are key floral elements in your tropical garden, not least in festoon­ing pergolas, climbing trellises or covering expanses of drab wall.

The Phuket start-up bottling humidity in the fight against plastic
Saturday 9 February 2019, 10:00AM
We love the sun but we dislike the high humidity that often accompanies it. At least that seems to be the general consen­sus. While flora thrive in muggy, equatorial cli­mates, most humans do quite the opposite. If you’re anything like me, you’ll find yourself lethargic, sticky and frizzy-haired. There truly is little enjoyment to be had when the air is so thick you feel as if you’re wading through honey.

I was talking recently about gar­dening to an English lady visiting Phuket and the subject of banan­as came up. “Do you know,” she enthused, “that banana skins put around the roots of rose bushes, promote better growth?”

Travel and tourism have grown immensely and will continue to do so. The travel industry is in a new paradigm where it must be controlled and not just promoted. Examples of extreme environmental degradation, overcrowding, and public outcry among residents are emerging across the world as a tourism backlash.
