What's on my mind

It is now the monsoon seasons in thailand, I should be growing rice but I held off on doing it this year because I have to put my time towards many other things. I have moved out of the small house and into the big house to avoid the rain, the small hut is falling apart and is due for a renewal. I plan on tearing the whole thing down, releveling the ground, filling all the old small ponds in dug in and come up with a better design. What I like about it is that its compact, cosy, just generally a good place to sit and relax.

I need a herb garden, I want to grow more Lemon Grass, Tomatoes, Onions, Chives etc. I love to make food and it will just cut the cost and pain of having to go to the market. So the plan is to come up with a little garden and some sort of fencing around it.

That also brings another problem, Irrigation. at the moment as it is the raining season its not overly important but I do need to reroute my pipes so I can have easy access to water when the season changes. My water system at the moment is a gravity fed pressure from a water tank about 3M off the ground.

Chicken coop. Ive set up a room and closed off the back opening, but there are still a few openings that I need to close up, but I can buy some cheap mesh online to get that sorted out. I want to raise some chickens so I can have some daily eggs. I need to balance my diet so I dont lose 10kgs again.

The grass around my land is getting crazy. I really need to take care of the grass, I have a patch of banana trees i want to take out but its impossible to me to get rid of all the roots, and they will keep coming back up. But I am looking at the possibility of creating a banana farm, not so much for the fruit but more for the leaf. Believe it or not banana leaf is very valuable in thailand, and has many uses for it.

this is just the things I can think of off the top of my head, feel free to ask me anything.
