Since it’s rainy season, I’d splurge on 3-4 full grown trees ( palm or ?) to plant in your yard near the house. Seedlings/ small trees take forever to get large so that is why I am suggesting planting a couple full grown trees with a “root ball” wrapped in burlap. These “tree shops” or garden shops will usually deliver them for a small fee. 5 years ago I had 2 mature coconut trees planted at my place. They’re doing great.
"forever" depends on the kind of plant and some other things. In out garden we saw the first mango after 10 years and the first coconut after 7 years, but some other plants almost immediately have fruits like guava or pomegranate.
@@LifeinThailand777 I don't recall but I was surprised how cheap it was and the fellows planted the trees for me which was part of the "transportation cost".
Mate enjoy it. You've never seen how beautiful it is. We have 52 rai. It's hard work. Wait until harvest. Hard work again. You don't know the work that goes on in maintaining it let alone harvest with a sikle to make sure your got it all
I’ve helped out with my in-laws rice last two years, they have about 40 rai. I know it’s brutal. Once we harvest this lot in December we will probably do 1 or 2 rai and then plant fruit trees. We just needed to do something this season 🙏
Jasmine 105, got to agree.....Yum, yum and the smell. The rain gods are smiling on you and held off just in time. Have you planted any rare trees? Fon and I really enjoying watching your progress and your positive attitude.
Good Morning Ben, Well done for the decline in the bugfest, im offered bugs all the time but give me a Greggs sausage roll every time please.... As for your rice, good luck im sure ya father in law knows the score, not as easy as it sounds on paper !! bet u cant wait till late november to harvestine....
Oh Ben, Ben, Ben! You can't drop a teaser that you've researched the best tasting Mango varieties and NOT tell us which they are! Would be interested to know, as we'll be planting some when we visit our plot in November. Planning on planting lots or variety of trees around our border well before we start building, so they're nicely established when we start living there. Thanks for keeping us up to date with life, videos are entertaining & informative as always...
Hi Ben , where exactly do you live ? Will be back in Thailand from next week for a few months and maybe i can come over for a visit when it's not to far. We have a self-sustaining ourself also in Isaan , between Ubon and Sisaket ( about 10 rai ). We started 6 years ago and now the trees are staring to produce decent fruits. I have a few video's on my channel from a few years ago. Could give you a few tips about the do's and dont's in Thai farming...555. Also always welcome if you want to come take a look at our farm and a few Leo's... Love to see your enthusiasm for making this journee work !!! Keep up the good works and nice video's !!
I've just seen some good videos , Indonesia, china where they grow rice together with fish. Benefits, fish eat insects and feed the plants with good nutrients and no chemicals. One video said a 20% yield increase and of course plenty of big plump fish. Win win . I asked my Thai wife why I haven't seen this in Thailand, she said the fish won't survive - people will take . Sad if true but my question is does anyone do this in Thailand ?
@@LifeinThailand777 Egg fruit became one of my favorite fruits after my last trip to Thailand. Make sure you try and plant it. Give chikoo another try.
Love your channel. Keep it up. Looking to do something similar in the future. What area are you in? Coming Chiang Mai for the first time this week to check it out. Any tips?
Congrats! My advice would be to consider an off grid solar system, that way you can widen your search for land, rather than being bound by electric close by. There are bargains to be had. Best of luck 🙏
Ok no sorry, our extended family is reasonable for the emperors rice in japan here in Tochigi... that’s the best rice.... and I can happily say it is we have 100’s of varieties of rice here only grown once in a season/ year and after traveling the world / Thailand over 10 times nothing compares... 😂 Thai rice is actually lacking taste verse Japanese rice, different soils and only ever grown once per year.... prove me wrong 😂 your the chef 😂 but yeah get your hands on Japanese rice and keep the field flooded while it grows...
HI really love the videos your making, its good to see your getting out of the system and trying to make a better life for yourself , ide love to do what your doing, just need a Thi girlfriend, would love to know how you met your wife and how you decided to move over there, remember if i didnt work out you can always come back ,, ignore the haters there just mindless fuck witts

I'm pretty sure that sound in the background of 6:15 can cure any kind of insomnia and anxiety.
I used to arrive with the rain, and they used to call me a butterfly too. Strange coincidence 😂
One of a very few farm videos I have seen in Thailand ! Thanks !!!

What did you pay for a mature tree William? 🙏

Thanks so much. Nothing particularly rare, some nice mangoes a bit different than the norm 🙏
Definitely the best rice I ever ate
❤👍🏼looking forward to seeing everything grow!
If or when I moved to Thailand in the near future, I will certainly buy rice from you guys :)

We won’t always be growing so much of it, likely next year only 1 or 2 rai of rice. We just wanted to fill the space this year 👍
@@LifeinThailand777 on a very good harvest you can ecpect a half ton per rai,
but what a lot of work to get to that..

Grow Egg Fruit and Chikoo (Sapodia) Some of the tastest fruits ever
We planted Chikoo last year but lost them with the flood in October.
@@LifeinThailand777 Egg fruit became one of my favorite fruits after my last trip to Thailand.
Make sure you try and plant it.
Give chikoo another try.

Not this year 🙏
