This pinwheel to drive away moles that make tunnel under the ground was made by my husband.
If the water in the rice fields flow away through the holes, these rice plants will wither.
So he made many pinwheels using used plastic bottles.

These are husks of rice paddy.
After removing husk of rice paddy, we scatter them in the vegetable field or rice field.
We sometimes roast them to kill tiny insect or bacillus in the hull.
While roasting, we used to put some sweet potatoes into the hulls to make roast sweet potato. 
They have turned into charcoal now.
