Title: Paddy Fields
Post by: Odin on April 28, 2012, 06:31:22 am

 >:(
I've decided not to grow any vegetables this week and just concentrate on rice in my new found heaven sent paddy fields.

Any experience or expertiese out there ? Do I need to change my flat cap for one of those big round things ?  ::)

last year and right through to this year when we in Scotland were pioneering the paddy field system for our own use the arid wastelands of eastern England and into the west basked in positively good weather  now that has changed and you are finding your wellies leaking on the sole never mind above ankle depth  but you are not as bad as Australia they have just ended a 10 year drought
there is always somebody worse off somewhere ;) :farmer:

I thought about sourcing a couple of water buffalo to help me in my paddy fields!
