Proud Farmer I

Look At What Our Compost Did!!!
We grew a watermelon variety that normally ripens at around 2 to 3 kg (easier to sell, we thought).
Look at what our compost have done to the fruits:
5.8kg
6.7kg
8.3kg
Pak Din took care of the watermelons, and he is one proud farmer! He's going to be a watermelon millionaire when he goes back to Indonesia when his contract with us is over.
These guys kept the watermelon free from insect attacks.
Close up of these red ants (click for larger image). They are fearless and have a toxic bite. An entire nest of kerangga (weaver ants) can be wiped out by them in less than an hour. Anybody know their scientific name?
