Indeed but with every success story, comes the scammers, and I hear there's a few trying their luck now down in Kampot.ricecakes wrote:Pepper is a freaking cash cow if done right.
Lets just say, they're seasoned criminals.
My posts are just jokes, maybe they're rude, offensive, and politically incorrect. They're not my opinion, viewpoint, idea, or judgement, but they're just fucking jokes so lighten up.
Kudos! I've heard that pepper is a challenging, time-consuming crop to get started, and it looks like you've done a gorgeous job. As Salvejeuno said, it's refreshing to see an upbeat post. I wish you all the best with your Kep-pot pepper.

interesting project.Euroboy wrote:In 2007 I bought some land in Kep with a friend from home without any plans for what to do with it. A few years later we started importing Kampot Pepper for sale in our home country. In 2012 we came up with the idea to turn the land into a pepperplantation. I have put together som pictures to show the development from 2007 until today. I hope some of you will enjoy it.
First encounter
First thing we did was to build a wall, approximately 400 meters
In 2012 we started the ground work for the plantation
The soil from the pond was used to level the land
Next up was the watertower
First field with Kampot Pepper, 700 poles (September 2012)
Preparation for the second field, 1200 poles (July 2014)
Second field
Ground work for the shop
The shop with a small appartment and kitchen
This is how it looks today, January 2017

The kids are allright

Thank you all for the kind comments. It's nice to give something back after all the entertainment and good information I got from 440 during all these years
Hot stuff and the stairs are a piece of art, bravo.

Thank you. You mean how long before we can expect maximum harvest? The first field was planted September 2012, and this is the first year we expect a good harvest of pepper from this field. Normally it takes 4-5 years. Last year was a tough one, with the rainy season obviously confused. The pond was completely dry, and we had to rely on the well. Thankfully, it could supply the plantation with water during the period with little or no rain. We are drilling one more well this year.Botched Stranglewank wrote:That's an amazing transformation. Well done OP.
How long does it take for a pepper crop to mature on a greenfield site like this?
I have a ? about the dam.
Did you just dig the hole and hope that there was no major seapage ? Other than evaporation in the hot season, does it generally hold the water pretty well ? Were there any specific engineering considerations you had to take to ensure this or does it just come down to having a reasonable clay content etc ? Also, how clear is the water in general ?

If you mean the brown 'thingies' above the plants, they are leaves from coconut threes. They create shadow for the pepper plants, this is especially important when the plants are small. We (or the people working for us) are watering the pepper manually. We have pipelines throughout the plantation, and maybe 15 -20 connection points.prettyvacant wrote:All those brown thingies suspended midair part of a drip-feed hydroponic setup? And if that is the case, what is the purpose of the buried blue pipes?
