Popular Post AA1 Posted June 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) And now for something completely different! What's inside these parcels? Take the silk off and you will find. Gorgeous! How do you stop 'Thai rats!!" eating all your rice? So sorry that quite a few of you are unable to come to the 'Farmer Meeting' next Saturday. All the best on your travels etc. and love the photos that you are putting here on Shaggy's "Farmers Photo Album".

Are these first two pictures early pictures of wormfarmers' development into his current MAIN business focus? I trust Bergen will post some pics for us.

Popular Post AA1 Posted June 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2013 Glad you enjoyed. We will certainly toast our absent friends. I am sure Wormfarmer would be delighted if his worms produced silk. I'm sure with the number and size of his worms he would leave Jim Thompson miles behind!! AA1.

RedBullHorn Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) When the water can't come to you. (Pond dug in 2009 to supply water for the crops and for raising catfish ) Pro job Shaggy, 3 metre from step to bottom... I can't help myself when it comes to a well dug pond with minimum claw marks. But I've seen the best backhoe operator with NO CLAW MARKS ! Believe me mate, i drooled over his work on a neighbour's pond like a fool admiring Penthouse... Eventually i hired him to dig 3 ponds for my farm expansion 3 years ago, best results ever ! Edited June 15, 2013 by RedBullHorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancealot Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) What were they doing in your last post DAL? Were they digging a pond or taking soil to be used elsewhere? Digging out a dried pond because this years' catch was rather disappointing. 20 truckloads of soil where removed. @B500 / load.. Using 2 trucks going on and off for 2 days. I never discovered where they dumped the soil because I thought it was logical these truckers would also make money on the 'dumping-site'. However, this was never disclosed to the resident village farang at the time.. [edit] The pond is a lot bigger now so next years' catch will be more fruitfull Edited June 15, 2013 by Dancealot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for resizing, you will notice if my "JP 2013" is doubled it means it was already uploaded, some are larger than the 1024 x so I need to do it or everyone will be screaming at me! so don't worry about it! @ Shaggy, what a wimp, soft soft massage.... OMG! I work with the theory NO PAIN NO GAIN..... with massages ... Except once I had a Burmese give me a massage, NOW that was Burmese Torture! But I did feel much better afterwards!
