An organic rice field next

Made a call to a friend today who owns 6 rai (1 rai = 40m x 40m) of rice fields 850m from my farm. He has kindly granted permission to proceed with organic rice planting this coming season.

You can imagine my joy of breaking into new ground - something I never contemplate when starting off with vermi-composting! So I might as well let the cat out of the bag. The rice field plot is marked in RED.











The land is 40m wide by 240m long - mark by coconut tree at far end.









Of course, growing rice is beyond me. I would out source planting to a rice farmer and share the harvest.
