HI, I currently supply cocopeat, kindly pm me if you interest to buy

Hi..are you producing yourself or repacking?

Ended up here because I happen to catch a Soon Hock fish from yesterdays fishing and he's still alive in my yard haha. Reading the discussion above, now I understand why the fish is so expensive in the restaurants.

hahaha... not easy bro

Anyone still active here? I just started planting my first crops, so much knowledge to be learnt.

currently planting chilli padi in soil.

will be experimenting with hydroponics, then hopefully slowly progress to fertigation for my chilli plants

how come is backward?

Meaning?

Backwards? what it means?

As I understand fertigation is like a one way solution right? the AB nutrients will go through a hose, through a dripper to give nutrients to the plant, then the nutrients will end up on the floor

whereas hydroponic the AB nutrients will be recycled, keep on being used. then from time to time monitor the nutrients content in the water with EC/TDS meter and add accordingly

do I have the concept right though? I been searching everywhere for info

I mean why into fertigation, and not into aquaponic?

hi all, does anyone know any shop that sells ladybug Delphastus for whiteflies control?
the housing area i'm at have too much and it become impossible to keep spraying neem oil every day (bcoz there are some shared space so i can only spray on my plants)

another thought is to smoke it out though... any sifu can help? thanks thanks

Soon Hock so hardy (warriors of the sea). Anybody farming sturgeons/ Empurau/ oysters?

Not sure it is available in Malaysia. I think it may be a good business to start one

This thread is my favourite. Gooding. Keep the discussion ongoing.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to plant (still unsure what!) on my small farm in Pinang Tunggal, Kedah. Rented out this 1acre of land to a vege farmer and he was very reluctant to return it to me.

Finally, he agreed but I am currently facing this issue;

A. Finding a land surveyor to pin point the exact location of my land as there are more than 20 lots at the site. I failed to locate the demarcation stones now.

B. What item, fruits or vege to plant?

I am sorry to ask this seem to be noob questions. I am interested to plant since he agrees to return the land but hitting bumps along the way.

Any advice would really be appreciated as when I asked some farmers, they told me many negative comments such as;

A. Don’t waste yr time since it is such a small plot
B. Hard to find source of water. (I am thinking of getting tubing water from the ground

Thank you for reading my post.

What yr day time job is?

-land surveyor they will get the demarcation point by gps. Not your concern.
-only vege due to small size. Deduct road, pond, u wont have sufficient size. Likely make loss only. No chance to recover capital.
-water - just bore underground water, dig a pond to store water.

Hi,

Thank you for replying to my queries.

I am a tutor. So it seems not worth getting into planting as the plot too small? Wild you know the fees of getting the boundary pegged?

Once again, thanks so much for taking the trouble to answer my noob questions. My business is not so great now, that’ s why thinking’s of doing some planting to supplement my income. Now, only works a few hours for a few days at night,

No problem.

Price for surveyor vary. You can get part timer, proper surveyor at different price. I dont know the pricing. Last time i hire to measure 4 acres + about 1k.

Actually going into agriculture is a blackhole into your pocket if you know nothing. Might as well collect rent and thats it. Continue tahan at your tutor job despite being slow.

By sequence...land clearing, land preparation, land touch up and pond, bore water, farm equipment, seedlings, pesticides herbicides fertiliser ect would take away easily 30k cash. Up front.

First, I am a land surveyor. If you really want an accurate boundary, you need to get someone to be on site. If you do not need it, PM me the plan at the back of your title, perhaps I can put in Google for you.

Second, as you are not aware of the area, you may not know the water source. Since the farmer can be there for so many years, I am pretty sure sooner or later you will know the water source. Besides, if the land is near the main road, you can apply for the water utilities to connect to your land.

It would be good if you can look at fruits for the long term and vege as the short term. Harvesting of vege will be fast but need intensive care. Fruits will be good if you have full-time job out there and can only be there during the weekend. If vege, then you may as well get a small hut plus some chickens. You can join the local Persatuan Ladang and connect to the government agencies, they always got some funds to assist new farmers (not sure now though).

All in all, best wishes in your farming life. I know some great engineers become farmer and earn more than his job.

maybe you can try this organic pesticide instead? https://shopee.com.my/S-TREX-spray-1.0-lite...2892.8802403655
