Mantos new system

MartinC

I know Sevvy, on Charlie's thread there was quite a lot of witty repartee about his toes so it was especially rich when he brought it up.

Buddy, what an exciting journey you've been on. The system and the harvests look absolutely fabulous, I went back almost a year and will take your air line siphon lesson learned into account in my ongoing system upgrade :]

Good to see you well and happy, God bless!

mantis

Thanks Abdul , and its good to see you posting again. Hope the new digs are suiting you

So the 70% shade never affected growth? We are at 27th parallel and it can be pretty intense so considering shade here for ft and certainly gb.

mantis

Nope , 70% shade hasnt effected anything. Got good crops of corn, tomatoes, silver beet, onions, brassicas and legumes over the years. We are going for 42C today so its needed

abdul

Settled into the new digs, but now that have completed a couple of years am searching for greener pastures. Still don't have a nest egg large enough for a farm on an island in Thailand yet so need to keep at it a bit longer.

mantis

I expect an invite when you do get the farm

mantis

abdul
