In realtion to power question;
power is avalible in most areas, other wise we will use a petrol pump to pump up to a res, or just deal with problems as they come up.
solar is to expensive for thai farmers more likley to fill a tank with buckets.
labour is very cheap there.
in realtion to copper sulphate.
the farm was a normal chemical farm, however the skill of the opperators had got the amount of required chemicals down to minimal amounts, with residuals in soil and collected water to below 6 ppm.
the farm was bannana growing in soil, all water was filterd through the soil and collected from creeks on propety and re used, mixed with spring water. copper sulphate was not used often and only at minamal amounts, enviromental damage was neg, we had frogs living happly in creeks, they die off very quickly at very low levals of toxins.
in relation to govt depts
DPI required us to use toxic chemicals we didnt want to use.
