hi chinyen,

is it those fish meal fertiliser which comes in a blue metal drum ?

hehe i dont know. i bought the small 400gm pack to try and plan to buy in bigger quantity. i have enquired supplier from Johor , they quoted me rm1900/ton exclusive of delivery charges. i dont think i'm buying that much at the moment maybe around 100kg so i tried to enquire from the kl/selangor suppliers and still waiting for their reply.

i'm worried also if i'm buying the same thing. ts, is there many types of fish meal but they work the same o they dont if there is no difference in ratio of npk mentioned la. should i just buy from kl/selangor area? thanks

Hi Chinyen, just wondering if you can DIY? Like EM, I also tried doing from cheap salt water fish, which works very well too.

i thought of collecting the bones from eateries but i'm not too sure how to process them. whether to just crush them o smoke them first before crushing. i'm also worried that just crushing them will invite flies/pests

Maybe this can help?

Hi Chinyen,
Came across this during web surfing.

Do check out their SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ON THE USAGE OF CHITOSAN.

ok, thanks mr farmer^^

they would work perfectly on my mother's orchid. she was previously using those raw clam juice to fertilise her orchids.

Actually I didn't know about this. I only know about Chitosan as fat burning, for weight lost.

kehe..so was i. i thought it's a supplement. but for plants as well haha

De-suckering Banana trees.

Any tips on how to de-sucker the banana suckers from the parent tree without affecting the stability of the mother tree? I find that after de-suckering, the mother tree losses it's grip on the soil and may tend to topple easily.

anyone knows where can i buy grafting tape here? thanks.

mr farmer, can big pvc pipe help? cut the prefered height and then cut some of the wall off to fit throught the tree trunk without hurting the tree and hammer it down around the tree?

I bought the grafting tape from those agri-shop (similar to hardware shop). Chinyen , you good @ grafting? Am about to start learn grafting Avocado trees, just waiting for it to grow to a bigger size to start. Also still studying from u-tube and internet You got any suggestion?

Big PVC are a bit costly here. Hammering it close may disrupt the roots? Am presently using wooden stick (recycled) to prop the banana trees that are not vertical and weak.

about the stability of the mother trees...i am trying a method thought by my sifu.

am experimenting on it. MrFarmer when you come back i bring you to my farm then i show you the idea and practicability.

haha just my 2 cents..never detach the sucker from banana before. well, i can only find tie tape, the green one, so far. i need the transparent one. the nursery owner here has weird thinking. they're reluctant to sell the grafting tape to us worrying that that will encourage more hybrids and less sale for them. i am currently grafting adenium rose flower plant and not yet into fruit plant hehe oh, did i mention that i'm in kl? where's ur location mr farmer?

Couldn't remember how much per roll. Normally things cost more here. Am currently in the Interior of Sabah. The transparent tape looks like normal plastic to me. How much do you need?

They didn't mention, but 30g is a lot of Chilli seeds as it's very light.

Check your PM.
