This is one of the first lot of Cha-Om plants that I pruned.I have been told that this time of the year is not the best time to prune,I assume that it is because of the dry season.This one shows that I must have done something right but I have to admit that I am cheating as I water them by hand.I have finished pruning all of the 74 plants (I was told there was only 50) after losing at least a litre of blood.annoyed.gif.pagespeed.ce.EWbqpZ7s0b.gif

I understand that the best treatment for these types of wounds is to liberally apply strong alcohol (internally!) I would recommend something like a single malt! thumbsup.gif

Hey teletiger.

A while ago you posted some photos of your mushroom building......did you make any more progress?

How forgetful of me.smile.png

Here it is this afternoon. Mrs T then went in and picked 10 kilos. Sold to a lady at our local Talat Nat for 50 Baht per kilo.

She also got 80 Baht for 4 kilos of banana leaves! w00t.gif More than the bananas! (10 Baht per hand) A very happy bunny.

'And in case anyone is interested, tongue.png We grew a loofer plant through a 4 metre tree last year. It produced 56 saleable loofers at 20 Baht each, plus a whole load of others that we use for kitchen scrub pads (brilliant) (no, that's not a trade name.rolleyes.gif ) and gave loads away to friends.

Being replete with photos....there's more to come.

Regards.

Yes, in the market the price is between 100 and 150 Baht per kilo, in 100gm bags.

Maybe something to look at for the future. At the moment it's just a trial run.

Regards.

No you can't convert what is priced in Thb in Thailand low cost living and compare it to Singapore high cost of living and high income.

For example, in Thailand i can buy oyster mushroom in a local village market but not in S'pore. There you can't buy it in the HDB estate market...only in the supermarket like NTUC, TOPS or Giant.

But still in term of comparison, an average income of $50... $1.10 per pack is like a pinch of salt. Other than that, prices of vice are horrible. A pack of cigarettes is $13 !!!

Although I have seen many loads of machine harvested sugarcane passing through my area,this is the 1st machine that I have seen.

I apologise for the quality of the shots taken as they were all taken using the lcd screen to select the shot shooting into the sun and impossible to see what was in the frame.Should have used the view finder which I found out later gives me a better view of the subject.All part of the learning process using the new camera I guess.
