Tomorrow destination.

A lager space for parking is inside, next to the meeting hall.

Or 10 km south of Khao Noi.

Great stuff, Packdee, I wish you all a good meeting, looks like a good one. I just bought 5 sacks of cement and that's me completely out of money until around the 8th of April.

Issan Farmers Meeting no.10

Wild mushroom hunting game.

Bulk spawning, the milky mushroom.

Thanks for hosting the IFM K'Packdee!

Can I ask again... for the DIY bags, we just need to find a suitable location to put the bags and remove the cover will do right?

A very big thank-you to K. Packdee for his hosting of this very interesting visit. Ditto to all members for their warm welcome of this newbie to the Isaan Farmers Meetings.

Colonel Packdee: Many thanks for hosting such an interesting and informative meeting, it was very much appreciated. Now all we have to do is to get the ones we bought to grow at home.

Also it was great to catch up with so many old friends and to meet so many new friends. Lets hope we can all meet up again at the next meeting. WF.

Labratory/lavatory.

Khun Packdee has made me so enthusiastic, I am considering another trip to his farm. If he would have been my teacher I'd be a scientist a well.

Many, many thanks, khun Packdee.

No cigarette lighter ^

Somebody had no idea where to go but the other farmers followed him nevertheless.

Hans: your driving licence is still at the resort. My telephone as well....

Colonel Packer, THANK you very much for your hospitality and a fun and interesting IFM.

I potted the first bag in a larger one with potting soil at the bottom and wet rice straw on top. The rest will follow tomorrow. And tonight milky mushrooms are on the menu..

Thank you Dancealo, I did not even know that i forgot the drivers licence there.

I also want to thank Colonel Packdee, you are a wonderful host and I had a great time. Thank you all guys for welcoming a newbie farmer to your group. I hope to meet you again many times.

As usual a great event! Thanks to Col. Packdee for hosting and teaching. Thanks to all for coming - great to catch up with "old" friends, and meeting new ones.

And also big thanks to the beer sponsors

The Col. has posted photos on his Facebook page. Looks like you all had a great time.:-)

Regards.

Baked potato with onion, Bacon and milky mushroom tastes great. Thank you all for a great time.

Thanks to Col. Packdee, it was great to see how he does things, good to see everyone along, looking forward to the next one

Was well worth the trip.

Packdee managed to enthuse my better half and she is now 'into' milky mushrooms.

For myself I met a wide range of expats with an equally wide range of farming knowledge.Even talking to relative novices like myself was rewarding.

Thanks to all involved in organising this event.

Will get to another meeting late in the year.

Damn.

Thanks for hosting the IFM K'Packdee!

Can I ask again... for the DIY bags, we just need to find a suitable location to put the bags and remove the cover will do right?

After fully colonized, the DIY bag should be placed in confined place for keeping the moisture higher than 85%.

Remove the cover and case the topper part of fully colonized substrate with moisture retaining pot soil.

More Mushroom Hunting Game photos.

It was wonderful to meet so many kindred spirits with such a positive outlook on farming. Henceforth when I see mushrooms in the market, I will wonder which of Col. Packdee's students they have come from, or are they from the master himself?

Col. Packdee,

What can I say that has not already been said?

The Meeting at your mushroom farm under your excellent tuition WAS an outstanding success and will long be remembered by all of us. You inspired us to not only enjoy eating mushrooms and now growing them as well!! Thank you so VERY much for being such a generous host giving up so much of your time not only making the day so fascinating BUT also for the much more time you must have spent preparing for it in advance.Please also extend our thanks to all your various helpers who prepared the delicious lunch etc.. Thanks for posting a selection of photos which I think give an idea of the interest and enjoyment everyone got from the day.

We then continued on into the evening at the resort with a good meal and in excellent humour thanks very much to the very kind sponsorship of DaveHKT and also ThaiVisa which also supplied us through the whole day. Dave. We were so sorry that in the end you were unable to join us.You would have learnt how much your sponsorship is appreciated and we would have learnt who you are!!! You missed a good day!!!!

I so look forward to meeting many of our Old (NOT talking about age even though it may apply to some of us!) and New Friends at our next Meeting - (Isaan Farmers Meeting No. 11) - which will be announced in due course.

Thank you again to the Col., his helpers, Dave and all the rest of you who ALL contributed in different ways to making Isaan Farmers Meeting no. 10 such an outstanding day.

Well Gentleman, may I say that it was my first Farmers Meeting and I have to say ... it was a blast!

Following on from what WF scribes above, so many thanks to many people.

From Khun PackDee for allowing us to visit and be superbly organised, Baz from Thai Visa and I hope

I get this correct, Dave from Phuket for the all important beer supplies ... , Dancealot and his

lovely lady Yui fro driving me up and the Member SantiSuk who drove me back to Bangkok when

there was a mix-up with the Van.

Also, the many new friends I made that Afternoon and into the Evening ... though, the evening was a

wee blur ... apparently I was well behaved ...

I'll try and dig out a few photos to share below ...
