Laying grass

[alanthebuilder]

Today we are laying 500 sqm of turf on the job in Chom Pra .
We collected some of this stuff the other day , it's the left over from rice shell they burn to make electric.
Its on the road out of town passed Robinson's about 10 K right side .
You need to cover the black dust very well .
They only charge a tax fee.
This 3 ton cost me 150B .
We will put a thin layer of this under the turf .

Don't forget, green side up.

I used the same stuff. A year later I was growing rice. Apparently some seeds avoided the burning.

The burnt rice hauls makes a fantastic compost base. We use for our garden when we lived in Chiang Mai. Another use for this is was we would mix a 50/50 of burnt rice caulk and sand for a water filtration system and believe it or not it works. As said it is dirt cheep.

The grass at the far end of the back field was too long for the mower to manage so we had a guy in with a strimmer. He left it like this.




Apparently the three remaining "tufts" are rice and it would be back luck to cut it unless it was going to be eaten. I'm guessing that the seeds were in the fill that we had delivered earlier in the year.

More Thai ridiculous superstition.

I agree, can’t get my hair cut on a Wednesday!

And don't even think about being cremated on a Thirstday. Very bad luck!

I would think the luck had already passed!

The weekly "Buddha days"can come with their own little rules, unless you put your foot down! No sex, no drinking certainly do not come from the Big Man himself!
