Dear All,
Try using handles on the corners of the bill board tarp and your neck, 
back,and arm muscles don't get sore. The thigh is what's used.

1/2 inch and it should pass the mortar mixer test with no surprising jerks.

Ive had some friends that used a mortar mixer, they said that it works but
if theres larger rocks in your clay the mixer might catch and give you a
mighty jerk so be ready. Make sure you get insurance on your mixer they
experienced some hefty dents from stubborn rocks. If its a time and manpower
thing go for the mixer but if you can dance your walls into creation dance
on.............................

We don't have pictures of our farm on-line yet... I'm working on
that, should have a nice site up by middle of the year.

We have both dwarfs and talls, no hybrids as far as I know.  As for 
variety of dwarf, here in Brazil they are known as "Coqueiro Anão",
but I think that includes all dwarfs.  My botanical knowledge is a
mix of English and Portuguese that's often difficult to integrate
(wikipedia helps a lot, though).

Thanks for all your information about what you intercrop... I've
also started planting gliricidia.  Saturday we visited the farm
of an acquaintance who has 50 hectares of cocos intercroped with
cupuacu, açai, and a ground cover of arachis (forage peanut).  It
is one of the few profitable commercial farms around here.

I'm in a bit of a rush right now... my laptop is broken so I don't
have net access as the farm and I have to get back there... but I'll
be back in touch soon.
