Sawadee Krup Everyone,
I've been in Thailand several decades and of course love it. Played professional golf around the world and now coach the game. Got into growing vegetables/herbs a few years ago and I'm hooked. I'm in Bangkok close to the Skytrain and can only do container gardening, mostly on the roof. In this climate i can grow year round, but have built a shade/rain cloth cover on the roof. I've been composting - awesome soil.
It took awhile but have everything sourced now, except a really good variety of seeds. This is not like America where you can just drive to the garden shop and get all the brand names of potting soil, hybrid seeds, etc...I get my magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) from a Chinese shop. Gypsum (calcium) from the hardware store and trucks drive around the neighborhood selling everything including bagged soil, coconut husk chips and cow dung. So my soil is good.
I will certainly give seeds when i have quality product. I did a google search of Acacia Confusa or Mimosa Hostilis bark which led me here. There were several postings by members that are growing these and are also located in Thailand.
I'm loving nonduality reading and contemplation and thought 'why not' grow some other useful stuff.
I be taking pics soon as i do - and posting as soon as i be doing.
Thanks.
