First lot are mainline going in, 8.5 PVC 100mm x 850 meters, hard work but once it's in it is done finished, stand pipes every 150 meters for our drip system.

Well done,looking good did you end up using a laser level scraper on your plots.

Could you also tell us about your pump type and size and water supply.

In recent years, locals have been taking out Mango's and planting Banana's in their place.

This farmer has gone the other way and taken Banana's out and planted Mango's yesterday.

In my way of thinking, this is a wise move as every second farmer has a Banana patch which 

makes it harder to sell at a good price. One recent local Banana plantation is around 40 rai !!!

Hello All, on my walks around the village, was really impressed with

this dragon plant, until I found out everybody only has whites, no reds.

One of the early planters.

More red dragon flowers.

I notice the red coloured one is different to mine. Mine is more of a purple than red. The locals call it dang dang.
Yours are looking good. Mine on our other property are not looking very good but will still get quite a few off the white ones as well as the purple.

Cheers

We had a shit party too, I estimate they got in excess of 500 bags.

Don't know what happens to it from here on.

They bagged the stuff and split it amongst the

villages, each village had their own distribution

plan, are's re-bagged and sold for Bt.40.(delivered).

The original start up funds was Bt. 2mil.

One could say that of mangoes as well - everyone and every farmer has a few or numerous mangoes on their property, unless the idea behind this is nursery stock.

Getting a second flush on the white fleshed fruit.

I have already taken 3 fruit off this branch and now it's got 8 on the way.

Wonder how many of these will come to something.DSC01619.JPG

Not much on the yellow front, it's growing so slow, not like the reds.

Oh man so excited After being in bangsaphan with 50 rai of rubber trees for 7 years ,where no bastard speaks english. We have just bought 10 rai near Sukhothai. Check out the view. Had to share this. Am hoping to meet some of the farang and give them an ear bashing. Got plans to build house here and move up here after selling rubber trees in bangsaphan.
