Hi Jake

No worries mate,was just a guess going by the stripes on their heads.

You have a safe journey fella and good luck with them farrowing crates.

Looks like someone has got themselves a brand new hay baler.

These are quail. I chose to raise them because the eggs do not contain any of the bad cholesterol and the meat is lower in cholesterol that of chickens. They are also profitable.

Thai made wood chippers! I saw these at a street fair, in Nathon Samui, today.... the guys gave me a demo... they seemed to work very well! All sizes, both electric and Gas!

Start at 42,000 baht I think he said !!

Ones to put on back of tractor ...

Blade sharpener too!

Sammi ... did they have any Whipper Snippers / String Trimmers / Weed Wackers for sale?

[Ron19]

This is a flower of the red fleshed variety of dragon fruit. Note what looks like an extra flower about ss east of the center.There are three flowers on my original trial set up which is alongside of our home and they are all the same.I am toying with the idea of taking cuttings from the these plants and planting them on the other block once they have finished fruiting.The reason for doing this is that there appears to be a problem with pollination where they are now that doesn't seem to be a problem at the other block.

No Davi ! I don't ting so.... But take a boo at their web page, I linked ....seemed to be a few other tings...

For weed whackers here I would look at Honda or perhaps Sthil ! (not sure if I spelt that correctly!)

Have a look in the general forums,there are a few whackers in there.

[gomangosteen]

Whackers! I tend to avoid the general forums for exactly that reason

farming of another kind, rivers/estuaries, shellfish farms

This one on the Chan River about 400m from the sea. The reddish/pink in background is anti-bird netting over fish farms

and this one about 4km inland

Putting the last few in place before being wrapped and cut down to size.

Wow! Farm photo's keeps getting better and better while maintaining it's original spirit.. I love watching all your snaps and the more aimed photo's together. This diversity combined with the discussions and information keeps the thread VERY interesting.

Meanwhile: The wife was hungry and dirty from work and wanted to go home but she waited for me, as we had only one motorbike. She knew I saw something I like and waited patiently for me to capture the moment. If it wasn't for this picture I wouldn't recall this special moment so easily.

Head down,bum up.

Daily egg delivery about done!

first bag 49 left to go!

[David48]

^^ What's in the Bags Jimmy?

If that's a photo of a Rabbit are the bags full of carrots and lettuce leaves?

The bag says Rabbit Brand chemical fertilizer. Can’t quite make out the percentages of what but it looks like 16 - 20 - 0.

@ Jake Cheers for the reply mate and personally am happy to hear that your mums to be are in pens and not crates.

Love the action shots of your as well,you could say that they bowled me over

@ Ron That's a new one for me also mate never seen that done before.Saves on the old back and knees.

Here it is from another angle which shows it a little better.I'll keep an eye on this paddy to see how it grows.

Here is an update on the above original which was taken on the 18th of this month and the same plot taken today.Looks like that

method of planting works fine and looking at the photo,the only thing I would query is the planting density. That may be misleading

because of the reflection of the house and trees etc behind the paddy.

A friend of mine in Queensland who has a tree felling business, told me that he would put most tree branches through his chippers with the exception of PALM trees, as they just stuff the blades super quick.

Fertilizer ..... David...! .... 16 20 0 if I remember, it was a few years ago now! Down in Songklha province! Perhaps they recycle bags that have Bunnies on them!

Perhaps that's why they sell an optional sharpening thingy! ^ In the first pic he shredded a coconut frond with no problem.... leaves where stripped off, they may cause binding problems....

Did you like the pic of you shoveling Poo? ^^^^

Just caught this thread. Awesome posts, stunning Pictures, the good life.

Thanks for contributing. I hope to add some soon.

[David48]

Shaggy ... WOW ^^

Nothing stands out with your photo above ... everything stands out.

Somehow I just wish Farming life was as romantic as it's displayed in your image above.

I now have two favourite Shaggy photos ... that one and the Tractor in the Sunshine Photo.

Cough ... did someone say 'Farming Calendar' this year?

Maybe time to start the conversation?
