Thread: How much land would you need to be self-sufficient for food?

Very well....I only pee on the runt of the little and it has since caught up to the others and is producing 1 single lime.....just the one.......wonder how it will taste

Put my lime trees in a few weeks ago, and they are KICKING ARSE, got dozens of small limes on each and the actual trees are growing rapidly. Haven't watered them once since I put them in, but I cunningly entwined the planting with the rainy season..long may it continue.
Planted the the trees in a red clayie soil I was talking about, so they're retaianing the moisture quite nicely. All the other trees on the plot are doing nicely too apart from one of trhe guavas which is looking a bit sorry for itself.
Gonna stick in 100 dragon fruit over the next few months..reliable as anything around here.

Damn.....my lime trees are still small and no fruit yet.....apart from the one I piss on

Nawty, you better drink more liquids or get your family involved so they can do somemore "sprinkling"

We planted young 50 lime stocks ( can't call them trees as they are only knee high) on our farm with red clay soil sokme 2 months back. Would like to compare and see if the ones planted by somtamslap would do better than ours up in Nakorn Panom. We have a mixture of different plants on our farm, hoping that we won't have to go to the nearby market everyday.

I'll take some pics over the weekend, don't tend to get down to the land much during the week. I've really done nothing to them at all apart from dig very wide and deep holes for them and added some fertiliser..the rain is doing the rest.

Will be looking forward to see how your crops do as our entire farm sits on red clay, but we would like to grow our own vegetables and other fruits so that we won't need to buy everything. Mangos do well as there were about 20 trees left over by the previous owner and they produced so much mangos a few months back, we gave them away to all our neighbours.

We planted limes, coconuts, passion fruits, lemon grass and other thai herbs 2 months ago. Thought everything sould do better if planted during the rainy season, so that we won't have to water them so much, the rain will take care of that.
