Got some really good info here... and a great place to start. As I said I am a total gardening newbie (unless you count tilling the garden with my dad's tractor as a kid).. I never would have thought to test either water percolation or soil PH.. will do both of those ASAP.

The only thing I do know is that the soil looks nothing like our garden when I was a kid... tho I guess that may not be a good teller about the quality. Back then it was really really dark and soft, not a rock or stone around - and here its more like hard ass grey gravel than dirt.

The idea of using a raised platform is a great one. In fact... what about using movable planters? So they can be brought in (or at least under cover) during heavy rains? Is that a better idea? The number I want to plant is fairly small... a dozen small/medium planters would work fine size-wise, provided theres nothing I don't know (like need for more depth, etc).

Hiya,

I have decided after several years of not being able to find fresh rosemary and sage among other popular herbs for cooking to build me a small herb and vegetable garden... I have ample garden areas in my yard, but the soil is terrible. I mean really bad terrible.

Is there a company anyone can recommend that will come in and remove a portion of whats here and replace it with good planting soil? I know very little about gardening at the moment, but plan on learning over the next few months... and want to make sure I get started in the right way, with the right type and composition of soil... so I want to hire a good knowledgeable company. Any kick in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Pattaya is a dessert pie desert.

Can you translate that to English? lol

Well, they apparently used to make them.. but do not anymore. No reason given, but the staff's english wasnt good enough to tell me why. :/

Sweet - ill give them a try. Their facebook page is outdated... no posts since last year, but I should be able to find them ok come tomorrow... thanks for the tip!

Anyone know a bakery that makes them? Have not had one since leaving the USA years ago... would love to find one somewhere.

TIA

Do you happen to still have their email? Its not listed there... if not I will call them tomorrow.

Here is a Fixed Link btw - that one breaks when pasted (in case anyone else reading this in the future wants to take a look)

Hi Guys,

I am looking for a company that makes custom office furniture.

I have a medium sized home office and currently have a standard L shaped desk, but am always running out of room. I would like to know if anyone can recommend a company that will make me a good quality custom desk built in to the room, or at least assembled in the room to fit perfectly, complete with wall or desk mounted monitor mounts, etc. Will need someone fairly professional.. but does not need to be a big company or anything.

Anyone kick me in the right direction?

Budget is open... I would prefer to not spend more than 30-40k baht at most (and hopefully much less lol).

Thanks guys,

Dave

Thanks for the responses guys.

Gonna take a look behind Big C first today and see if that one is still open.. If not, will try the others.

Thanks much! I really hate doing this stuff myself, and not just for the lost hours I could have been working lol.

Hiya all,

Can anyone recommend a good maid or maid service that can come out twice a week (not live in)? This is for the East Pattaya area, a bit off the beaten track somewhat opposite UnderWaterWorld.

Price is open... I'm not a tight ass, but I do require that whoever comes out is trustworthy. I have a pretty small place, but quite a bit of expensive equipment, some of which is pretty small.. I will likely be here when they come, but still... would like to find a place that is known for being trustworthy. I will pay more for a service I don't have to worry about

Any help is appreciated,

Dave
