BUILD A HOUSE

Try adjusting the feed from a high N content to a high K when fruits form. have just re- read that the green plant dies back- hmmm. It must be the Tom's need a few hours of coolness, to keep them doing what they do to stay healthy- no answer to that, apart from moving a few hundred miles north.

 

Well if you do go buying Hydro' gear, the BIB might be popping in to see how you are getting on.

 

Our rice didn't all wash away, the little blighters hung in there and are a few inches high- exiting isn't it ?

 

I'm just VERY thankful that I don't have to make any money from the little farms. It has been an education to see just how little the Thai farmers earn for the huge amount of work they put into farming. In this area the average Thai farm is about ten rai or four acres. That sounds very small but try farming those four acres by hand and it then seems huge. Those little nine Horse power tak taks are not much better than a buffalo.

Yep, by the time they pay someone to turn the flooded paddy field over , with the tak tak, then drain, thin out the plants, pay someone to run the Combined Harvester over the finished crop, it don't leave a lot of profit.

 

Like you I 'ain't relying on it for a living, but it will help out the GF's family. They are doing the work while she is here, but when she goes back it will be her job to decide the future use of the land.

 

She has an idea about having a small bar with pool and stuff- dunno, its just an idea, whatever, she will have to finance it herself- the land was her lot from me.
