    Very happy to see that you are both doing well!
    One critique if I may.
    Use your Bio-Char sparingly. Just like worm poop or compost. Do NOT over do Bio-Char. It is like a sponge for nutrients. It will steal Nutrients from where it can.
    It is better to bury the Bio-Char, 5-10 Cm's below the ground level, once again sparingly...but over the entire canopy of the tree.
    Roots have the ability to extend to the outmost reaches of the tree branches. Which makes sense, since the leaves will drop water around the tree when it rains.
    Sugar Cane Mulch is a very affordable thing in Thailand and it works better than what you are using and can be cheaper if you shred it yourself.
    Mulch is what you should be using around your trees. NOT Bio-Char even Inoculated Bio-Char. I t works far better underground than on top. There must be a joke there...somewhere!!! 😂😂
    If I am wrong, Please don't hesitate to let me know. Anyone can blast me. 😊 I am fair game.

    I was only thinking yesterday that you guys had been a tad quiet. We visited a Goat Farm up in Pranburi and the owner told me that the situation was bad for him, so he opened up as a tourist attraction. He gets around 100 visitors a day and that has basically saved his farm from going under. Glad to see everyone is healthy down on the farm.

    All looking good mate. Great seeing your Mum out there again enjoying the fishing. Just wish I didn't have so many health issues as I would try and get me and Kev out there camping under the stars in one of your huts. We could build a raft out of cans and race across the lake.

    • @ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand
      @ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Thanks Keith. When we both look back at the photos of the farm 6 years ago, we hardly recognize the land.

      Well you helped kick off the flurry of activity mate!
      It'd be even more helpful if book in for 2 weeks next time lol.
      BTW, how's that karaoke playlist going?

    • @markbrooke4100
      @markbrooke4100 Před 8 měsíci

    You defo got a lot going on, diversification is a great thing. You need to get yourself a push bike with a trailer, or an old electric golf cart. Question: Would you have done anything different when you & Toon first started this project.

  • @DillonTrinhProductions
    @DillonTrinhProductions Před 8 měsíci +2

    I have a question about the fishing lake, is there any small fish species that could be suitable for ultralight fishing?

    • @ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand
      @ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Yes indeed. We have a healthy stock of Java & Tinfoil barbs that are great sport on the pole or light waggler.

  • @lynnplestid2711
    @lynnplestid2711 Před 8 měsíci +1

    Well goats eat cut and cooked or raw banana trunks ? LOL and remember chickens are birds lol.

    • @ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand
      @ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand  Před 8 měsíci

      Anything banana related the goats will go bonkers for.
      FYI.....we must never speak of the Chicken/ Bird conundrum anymore lol.

  • @giuseppe5643
    @giuseppe5643 Před 8 měsíci

    Hi leigh and Toon, It's really good to see you back. The farm is looking healthy, so well done. You eat goats testicles 😳 you will do well in celebrity get me out of the jungle, 😂.

  • @johnberry1107
    @johnberry1107 Před 8 měsíci

    To me. That is ash not biochar. Biochar refers to high heat and results in "oil". Stay safe.
