  1. The area at the side of a house, around 2 meters wide and 10 meters long has enough space to put in some concrete rings, paint them, fill with soil etc and put some trees into them. The bigger the trees the better.

     

    The area is concrete with soil and grass already on top of it.

     

    A lime tree springs to mind as you often see them growing well in concrete rings.

     

    We are in Bangkok so have many garden and tree centers to buy from.

     

    What other trees should do well in concrete rings? The area gets morning sun until around midday, then the house shadow start to cover it. The higher the tree the longer daily exposure to sun. 

     

    So the questions are, what other species of trees (the bigger the better) should we consider?

     

    And also, the rings could be filled with 100% topsoil, but perhaps a mixture would be better? What mix should we look at?

     

    TIA.

    There are loads of plug-in energy meters on Lazada, plug into the wall, plug your computer into it, read power.

     

    Many also will measure kWh over time, so just run it overnight.

     

    Once you have the energy usage multiply by the average price per kWh (calculate it from your last bill) and you will know the answer.

     

    One of many on Lazada: -

    That looks good. I don't suppose there's any such one that also does aircons? As they're direct into the mains and not plugged in.

    Taxi drivers are always on the lowest rung of society in any country.

    Smart, educated people do not become taxi drivers.

     

    That's not true. A large company near me closed down and the guys all received compensation pay, while around 45 years old for most of them. They put it together to form a taxi rank, bought a small shop for it in the center of the town and bought the cars and worked there together. Educated, smart, gentlemen to a tee.

  4. I like playing a farming game on poki.

     

    The longer it is open online the more money you get to harvest and gets seeds. 

     

    Leaving the computer on overnight with the monitor plugged out would work well for this.

     

    What is the approximate cost of leaving a computer running with a farming game webpage open, but the computer monitor plugged out be, for around 10 hours overnight? The electrical payrate is direct to the government. The last bill inc all taxes etc divided by the number of units used equals 4.68 baht per unit. I don't think there are off peak and on peak rates.

     

    Thanks.
