This is good stuff. Inspiring. Some people buy land in Indonesia to plant food to ensure food supply. I think you are one up. Just across the border in your own backyard. You have also the raw ingredients to make vodka & toddy
Share ur gardening tips bro
I am keen to go for MM2H too.. All foreigners working in Singapore have the advantage to work and return to their country some days.. I hope to work in Singapore and retire in other country someday as well.. Malaysia is the best match as culturally they are very similar as us.. Won't be the sucker to GLCs, capital malls, NTUC, Petrol cartels and all the Public Private Partnership programs....
Thanks for the advises..
Regarding custom, I asked for white cards and they gave me a thick stack and ask $10 kopi money..in return.. Very nice..[/QUOTE
pay 20 rm more can get the MACS or something like dat. i finally did mine, was a super brezze, they see, dun need to chop and juz go. all in less than 5 secs.
I got almost all plants that we need for day to day use like curry leaves, mint, lemon grass, turmeric, kafir lime, lemon, banana, bitter gourd, spinach, red, purple and green chilli padi, holy basil, ginger, tapioca, onion, potato, coconut tree, mango tree.... Name it... la .... most likely there already....
Oh yea forgot got Colocasia (green collard) my favourite as well
I lost touch with gardening around 1993+.
So took a while to regain some of the skills....
My garden was in the hands of my maid for 16 months. Nothing happened...
And now i took over from end April.... And see the transformation sia.... Wah...im so proud already.....
BTW i dun lay claims to being the best gardener on this forum.... THAT AWARD WILL BE RESERVED FOR MALLOW for the moment.
You have to discuss with ur wife la bro what plants u wanna plant. Depends if ur in laws gonna visit... They too may wanna have a say....
Also its carpet grass or cultivation. Extremely difficult to maintain both.....
Oh yea got flowering plants as well...
but my botany sucks... dunno the names.
AP , I know nothing about gardening leh ... But some how managed to get the trees , grass to grow nicely after one year of try and errors . My objective is to have a maintainance free garden ( almost there already , only need to do a little triming , insecticle if needed and fertiliser once in a month can liao ) . Got a electronic timer to water the plants everyday ( very important as I can only be there once or twice a month ) . I also choose plants that are very slow glowing type , and for glass I go for pearl grass . Mine is more for decorative purpose , unlike yours which can be comsume lor . I started with very cheap and studdy plants in case it dies off ... later maybe can try some more expensive type lor .

My wife says i am playing farmville by remote... HU hu...... using my maid to help me do the digging and stuff... But hi ya she needs 200% monitoring else she will yank out the plants while transplanting and the roots will be gone.....
Please elaborate on ur electronic timer cum sprinkler bro.... Cost and where you got it from.... I think i need it as welll especially during the super hot days......
Yeah if u dun wanna do a lot of gardening then a maintenance free one with sturdy plants is the way to go bro....
Where do you get ur insecticides from? i only use organic ones..... do you use compost? i guess not cause of the grass right?
Can share how much commission you need to pay to agent for rental?
Where you gets those electronic sprinkles?
I am going to get my house pretty soon..maybe another 3 months? However, kid still studying in Singapore so cant live in JB all the time and thus need some electronic to help me watering plants... Btw I bought a Ramba robot from ebay to help cleaning the floor.. US is selling at 290... Singapore is selling at 995.. How to live in Singapore when everything is so expensive?
Bought at ebay usa , like this can liao http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-GILMOUR-950...520?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c581a1d0 , buy simple but good one hor ! Have been using this for 2yrs no problem so far . First must lay all the pipes to watering pts , maybe about 1 to 2m per point . All this goes to your timer which is conected to your tap which must be on at all time . Use sprinkle head like this http://cgi.ebay.com/Toro-Lawn-Genie...931?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25658787f3 will work well . ( Not all sprinkler nozzles will work ) . Also make sure water presure is pretty high otherwise sprinker nozzles will not rotate hor !
Oh yes you can lay pipes under ground if you wish , look neater but if you wanted alteration became very difficult liao . If you want to see actual working of these sprinkles can visit me at my house lor ..
All pipes and fitting can easily get at JB hardware shop , whole setup should be less than 350 buck lar . BTW AP , I bought my insecticle at the nursery at the temple alone Bestari , very effective and I dont think is organic.
Bro Bigfatfish wish you luck in ur endeavour as well. AS Jason said gardening is quite relaxing....
Surprisingly a lot of men seem to be doing it... he he.... staying away from their wives? an easy get away from wives without having to do indulge in vices?
Yeah its relaxing as jason said and to watch the plants grow and fruit is highly satisfying....
Although i could still say its cheaper to buy from the market than growing our own produce... cause our own produce is so organic that its so so expensive also...
It's durian season. Anyone knows of any good durian plantations to get durians?
My neighbour's relatives got D101 for RM4 / Kg - very fresh and shiok. Gave us a few. Will have to ask for the exact location of the plantation next time ....
I bought good durians from hawker at abt RM22/Kg for Mao Shan and RM10/Kg for D13 ...
