Growing grass on yer balcony

**Marmite the Dog** · 05-12-2005, 07:56 PM

Well, I actually like the smell of cut grass, and had in mind images of the new squeeze on her hands and knees cutting it with a pair of scissors wearing a rather petite skirt.....

Marmite, have you considered how you will keep it mowed? Get some astro turf.

**Captain Sensible** · 05-12-2005, 08:56 PM

Yikes, that is what you get when you only read page one of a thread and then post a reply.

D'oh.

Pardon moi.

**Marmite the Dog** · 05-12-2005, 08:57 PM

No worries - I do it all the time.

Cap,

What's "moi"?

Is it Thai word?

**dirtydog** · 13-12-2005, 09:46 PM

french for "me" or thai for "pubic hair"

**Goddess of Whatever** · 13-12-2005, 09:54 PM

O-oh..

Thank you, DD.

You cant grow grass on your balcony because all grass in Thailand needs a shit load of sun or it dies. I have tried everything to keep the grass growing under my mangoe tree but to no avail. If it does not get at least 6 hours of sunlight it will die.

With the balcony wall it wont be able to get that much sun.

Astroturf from homepro!! Would seem to be the best answer.

Not if you use the right grass. Let me know if you want a bag of proper seed, I'm doing the website for a tufing specialist at the moment, so he should be able to give me a bag of seed.

This I gotta see. I have tried turf, seed, everything, I brought back seeds from Florida that has the same weather but it was drown in the rainy season last year.

If you can do it 6 pints of lager on me. But its gotta live for 8 months after planting.

The best grass for under a mango tree is Malaysia grass. You can buy
this from nurseries for about 20 baht per m2.

And it fucking dies. You have been to my house and all you have seen is the motorcycle and the fridge to get a cold one. Except for the dining room chair you cracked.

I guess you need green fingers (not that mine are

)

Soz about the chair.

Go hydroponic with a 50mm bed of coco peat with a reticulation system to supply nutrients.
Have a timer on a small pump in a plastic drum of say 200 litres and let the solution drain to waste.
In a tropical climate you will be getting the shears out nearly every day,you may have to employ a gardener!
