    Hi Guys Thanks for coming and recording the nuptials and farm progress. So a bit a feedback on some questions/comments that were posted. The lease project has some issues that are making progress difficult. The weed that is proliferating is a project for the future as to why it grows in some places and not others. Poisoning it is not a good idea as the poison then contaminates the drinking water, which is probably why health systems around the world are collapsing due to the massive increase in the general population’s poor health. My theory as to why weeds (plants we can’t eat) grow is that it is nature’s way or repairing the soil. The pond has catfish in it as opposed to tilapia, because it is a hardier fish.

      @@krisbrand354 You are correct, however it would also kill everything else as well. I think it is better to find out why weeds grow, instead of just killing everything that nature creates that we cant monetize.

    I married my Thai wife in Ko Samui by a Loangpa and many Thai Buddhist monks sat above us and chanted and such. I bought them all expensive gifts and we gave them to them after the wedding and it was in a Holy Temple by a river coming off the mountains. Two people were there one was a woman who was Thai and the other was an English or Australian chap who happened to be there before we arrived and said they were thinking about it but wanted to see our marriage which was very nice. So we had nice bystanders to wish our wedding well, how cool. I am now 66 years old but look young and my beautiful Thai wife is 54 and looks great but she is working day and night at a Japanese wholesale in Nakhon Sawan where I hardly see her until very late at night, sad me, trying to buildup money for after I die, which I hope is not for a long time, I have been here for 22 years and love it, Peace, and Love

    I love your videos I see you have a problem weed there that is common here in Australia. We call it sensitive weed. It is common where there have been cattle but it is easy to control. I use 24D or MCPA. It is a little slow to react but it works and wont harm your lawn. These chemicals are broad leaf killers so be careful around other plants in your yard and don't spray on a windy day. I hope to get over there one day and have a beer with you. Take care mate from North Queensland Australia.

      @chrisperkins7331 Рік тому +2

      We do have some fruit trees, such as avocado and mango's, but the family wants to plant rice and cassava, so that is what we do. The market for fruit is not that big, and the animals have to be feed. If it was not for the animals I would have to buy someone elses poop to fertilize the fields. The main aim is to see if we can reduce imputes to zero as that is the goal. As for bees the local bees are small, so do not produce any honey you can eat..
