Hello to one and all.
My name is Mike, I'm an English teacher working in Taiwan. Although I am married to a Filipina for 10 years now, We have just bought some agricultural land in the Philippines, 16,000 square meters. We are planning to build a self sufficient farm. There are about 150 coconuts trees on the land now with a few mango trees and some others. Also planning to plant Cacao trees under the coconut trees. We should get around 1,500 trees from what I have been told in there.
We are also planning to go into chicken production, with about 300 laying hens. A nice battery of quails as well nothing to much. We are looking at adding some broiler chickens into it. Then being the Philippines my wife really wants to raise a few hogs as well. The land has a beautiful stream running most of the year but not always. There is no power there right now. But it is possible to get it, but thinking of going solar. using a 500w solar system. But the chicken incubator worries me as I can't really find out how many watts you need to run one. My wife name is Lee and my name is Mike, but the Chinese always say Mika. sounds different so I use it.. Sorry to be so long winded.. I am happy to be here.
