1: 0:00:00 (ilis, tas and ilam, hus, hyam, yagom get sick. Salab and galas don't. What is this ilis sickness? If we plant it in good ground it will go well, if we plant it in bad ground it won't. The leaves will fall off and it'll die Do you ever plant it in good ground and it gets sick and dies? If we plant it in good ground it'll be fine, if we plant it in bad ground it'll die. One one time a sickness will come) 2: 0:01:13 (If just I cut the garden just I and my wife plant. If it's a big garden with lots of people then we'll meet and plant) 3: 0:01:33 (I cut the trees, if there are still some I could hire some guys and tell them cut the trees and build a fence, I could also buy them with food) 4: 0:02:03 (Added to the question - if your dad is sick would you do his garden? If my dad was sick I would do work in his garden) 5: 0:02:28 (if we want the food to grow well then we have to throw out the weeds. When the yobug bili comes up its time to harvest Do you use a bush knife or your hands? We use both, we uncover the food so we can get at it) 6: 0:03:13 (no it doesn't have thorns) 7: 0:03:28 (we plant kumu in the garden, we plant and eat it) 8: 0:03:52 (mushrooms are everywhere we get semi mushrooms in the bush up in Tolookum. Other mushrooms are in hot places) 9: 0:04:15 (we don't plant them, they come up on their own on logs. semi mushrooms grow somewhere) 10: 0:04:35 (If we plant the garden in a good place it will grow well, if it's in a bad place the food will be little) 11: 0:04:59 (if it's small we just eat it - all the normal foods)

1: 0:00:00 (yes they get sick, mena, ilis, galas, ilam, salab and hus can all get sick. Some get sick some don't. Do the plants die? Yes the plants die. We plant somewhere else and it's fine. If sweet potato gets sick we leave it all, if yams then we take some and plant them elsewhere. We take bananas and replant them and sometimes they do well. That's what we do if it's a new garden, old gardens we take the seeds and plant them in a new garden) 2: 0:01:56 (Some I cut on my own, some gardens are big and we do them together, I'll do gardens together with Nambi. When we do a garden together we plant it together) 3: 0:02:24 (sometimes we work nothing. If we do it in a big group we can put a little money. We bung and put a fence, or cut trees or harvest. If it's small work I do it myself and don't put money) 4: 0:02:51 (if it's a small garden they do it themselves, big ones we gather for. Me and my kids we plant it ourselves. If it's big we get Mulil, Olunann, their dads and Nambi. We gathered together to do the bean garden. Small gardens we do alone) 5: 0:03:27 (If the grass gets big and chokes the food we weed it and throw it, then the food is place clear and we eat it. We either use a machete or our hands for weeding) 6: 0:04:15 (Some weeds have thorns and if they do we cut them with a stick and machete. No thorns we just remove them) 7: 0:04:41 (we plant ilam. We plant lots of other food too. He talks about beans) 8: 0:05:15 (all over, up there, down there. They grow on logs - tugalis mendee, yelinom ended, eliligat, ebebelim, mana munee, semi. Do you eat all mushrooms? Some are good, some are bad to eat. Good ones are pulim, hot ibigut, semi mutol, onot, inengito mutol) 9: 0:06:06 (no, we don't plant them) 10: 0:06:17 (sometimes food grows big, sometimes it grows small) 11: 0:06:33 (we don't know, we just plant the food. If we plant it well the food will grow big, if we plant in a bad place the food will be bad. If the yam garden fails we eat sweet potato) 12: 0:07:23 (yes we're hungry during nobugut honn and we eat wild jungle food. Things like the ooloogut - wild taro, mobogotom)
