Yesterday met an old friend from Subang Jaya, Selangor.
He seem to be very excited that one his friend won the D.U.N election for Selangor. He was with the DUN for almost 7 days during the election where PKR trounced Barisan badly in Selangor.
Well. I told him that there are lots of hot seats that are ready to vacated and there will be lots of people eyeing for those positions.
Coming back to BH project with him, he came out with this idea of planting Lemon Grass (Serai) around your birdhouse.
It make a very good sense if you build your BH on an agricultural land.
Assumming that you have a piece of abandoned agriland (Doing nothing for all these years). Let say it is about 10 acres.
You just need less then one third an acrea to built a BH. The rest of the land you can actually plant with these Lemon Grass (LG).
You need three to five years to be able to have a fruitfull harvest (Birdnests) and in the mean time you can make RM5,000 to 7,000 an acrea of land every 6 months.
If you have 9.5 acres, you income looks like RM5,000 X 9.5 = RM47.5 K every six months or RM95K per year. Hmmmm not a bad idea ....
So if you have a sizable piece of idle land, try to built a birdhouse and at the same time plant those LG.
LG to me grows like lalang trees (Tall weeds). They grow on their own without needing too much attention.
All you need to do is to appoint a Company who will take care of the plantation. Every six months you collect RM5,000 an acrea (minimum) from them after each harvest.
If U need more informations kindly call or PM me ......
Taken from one of the website:
DESCRIPTION: C. citratus is a tender, ornamental grass that has a fragrance resembling the scent of lemons. It grows in clumps from 4 to 6 feet high and has slender leaves and grass-like flowers in terminal spikes or racemes. Lemongrass belongs to the Grass family, Gramineae and is native of India. The related C. nardus is the source of citronella, a popular, old-fashioned insect repellent.
Lemon grass is now widely available all over the country and can even be found in some chain supermarkets. Its mild, delicate, but yet exotic, flavor has made this tropical herb popular in East-West cuisines. So there is no reason to use the inferior dry or powdered kinds. Lemon grass can be easily grown in any frost-free area, or in a planter to bring indoors in winter; it is not particular about soil as long as it gets plenty of moisture. Root a stalk by submerging the root end in a glass of water, or insert directly into damp soil and keep well watered. One stalk easily multiplies into fifty in no time and forms a large clump. Lemon grass grown in cool-weather areas tends to be more grassy with smaller and shorter stalks tinted a deep purplish green.
