Hiya Self-intro from Bintan

Hello from SE Asia. In a moment of lockdown madness we bought 6Ha of plantation land on Bintan Island (Indonesia), sight unseen. 2 Ha of planted up banana plus mangoustine, petai, rambutan etc. Remainder is rewilded jungle and a fair bit of wetland. We're about 2Y in now as weekend warriors so still early days.

Very excited to find this forum to get some tips on feed regimes, pest control, new varieties and propagation methods.

Look forward to the learning experience!
Chris

I was curious where Bintan Island was so looked it up. Wow! it is beautiful there. I think most people would have a moment of madness if they had the chance to buy there.

Yes it is quite amazing. We live in Singapore and Bintan is one of the closer islands of Indonesia. You can get there in a 60 minute ferry ride but the environment could not be more different from Singapore.

During the long period of border closure we would spend the weekend fishing from SG's East Coast gazing longingly at the unattainable. Now we hop over there most weekends and enjoy a remarkably different lifestyle .
