I've spent the last 6 months reforesting an ex rice paddy/pasture

As the title says! Last year me and my partner got a piece of land in tropical Asia. It was a rice paddy reconverted to cow pasture so you can imagine how hard it’s been with all the compacted clay.

The last few months it’s been a battle against elements. First it was way too much water, now it’s too little water because dry season approaching. Wind and sun were both one direction, now with the season change it goes the other way.

I’m no expert, everything is self taught and the only experience I had was from owning a small garden in Spain with composting and few plants. This is on a different scale but it feels very rewarding although frustrating sometimes.

My recommendation to everyone, take it chill, sometimes its ok to take few days break to get renewed energy and don’t fight nature, work with it!

Ask me anything! 🙂
