PAULOWNIA HOW TO START YOUR OWN CASH CROP for 100$.. a single acre of Paulownia trees can be worth a million dollars, biomass $40,000 to 240,000!...      

      ...starting with biomass, which unlike the Trees need no intensive cultivation, you can harvest in just two to three years for $40,000 earned! ..

How And Why Paulownia May Be Worthwhile For Profit..

Please remember this is not financial advice. All investment has some risk, Never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Paulownia trees are being cultivated as a cash crop..

 They're fast growing and also you may not be aware but there's possible a way to get in on this market without a lot of cost.. by growing biomass you don't need maintenance like with the trees which need high maintenance and while less profitable than the trees this also has an advantage that it only takes two or three years to earn like $120,000 for just three acres of biomass. Once you've made the first 120 000 dollars and cut down the trees and sold them you can let it grow again and repeat for 120 thousand dollars perhaps every couple of years indefinitely " if the market holds up" (according to AI currently the market for biomass is good and increasing.)

 In the Orient Paulownia trees are traditionally in demand for religious purposes and also for making things like musical instruments, bowls or other objects and the supply is more limited.

  Religion can be a powerful influence at times and so they're searching everywhere for Paulownia trees. 

Since the trees are growing wild sometimes in the US and one tree can be worth $40,000, there are "Paulownia rustlers" in the United States.

The mayors of some US cities say just to cut down all the trees and be done with it because the rustlers are going to keep on cutting them down  and hauling them off often middle of the night before the owner knows. The owner wants to own enough shade!

Paulownia takes about 8 years to mature and the cost to plant some of the trees is about $15 an acre.

If this sounds good where you plant the trees and in like 10 years you're wealthy, there's no reason to believe this is bad luck, or luck!

Sounds good but there are a few drawbacks. As they say when your ship comes in "it's often time to do some unloading". The trees need to be slow growing. And as I say they're invasive and also they need to be trimmed regularly for like the first five years. To get around this a lot of people consider investing in Paulownia farms. Even so according to the bioeconomy solutions YouTube post most paulownia species are not invasive, only tomentosa paulownia is.. the main problem about tomatosa is about the roots..

As I'll discuss however perhaps the best way to start maybe to grow it as biomass because it only takes two or three years to harvest and this is without all the maintenance. As I'll show you you can do this even without owning land by Co-ops or other methods.

While a co-op has value, I researched what it would be worth just to grow a 20 ft Paulownia bush like in your house by constantly trimming it but the most this will earn is just $300 in like 5 years. (This is like half a tree for biomass which is worth $600 each. Here in 2025, high quality paulownia trees are worth from $45,000 to $90,000. 450 trees per acre worth $90,000 each could be worth up to $40,500,000..)

(If you're considering investing in farms, in a few years you may find investing in paulownia farms that use robots to trim the trees may be much higher value for because you'll be ahead of the market and you may have much higher payoff for value for your trees once they're sold.)

 Before, money was invested on Paulownia farms and profit wasn't much made because the trees have to grow slowly because the tree rings have to be narrow (more solid wood as the market demands) for them to sell well in the Orient. These paulownia farms weren't trimming the trees or using nets to slow growth.

  Here I offer three solutions.. first to make the trees grow more slowly for your own possible million dollar edition of the plan, as I say buying nets held up by poles, may shut off the light enough so the trees grow at the rate of your compound interest now in math of your mirth. Experts recommend trimming the trees to slow the growth and this was what some plantations didn't do before and they made less profit. Though nets aren't usually used, this might be a better way to improve profit.

Second, to prevent it from becoming an invasive species you might want to use a land brake around your trees. You also don't want to plant on a marsh or a bog.. it needs to be well dried out soil. You may want to put a wall around the outside of your farm, and tarps around the base of each tree. You may also want to buy small robots to remove the seeds from the tarps.  You pay for this as you make more money so it's more part of the advanced plan.

The owner may saw and snore louder because even for reclaim value, an acre of Paulownia trees is worth $40,000!

The main problem left would seem to be about trimming for the trees to grow well.. how some paulownia farm sites say this is "not a set and forget it crop".

  While robot arms are generally expensive, using a cheap x y and z saw with sensors would be cheaper.

 Drones have been used to try to trim trees but these seem dangerous and needing to be not an illegal hazard as they're in the air and I once thought of even using laser beams from a wheeled platform to trim trees from the ground. This might seem easier and simpler than climbing all the trees to cut the branches.

Perhaps best use of lasers might be with a "steam beam" to then use the laser to heat and melt the branch the same way laser dental drills don't damage your tooth, I relax and need no anesthesia to wake up! Actually laser beams turn out to be expensive and don't cut all the way through the branches.. and you have to hire professionals with special training to operate it.

I originally thought of robots on rails but these probably would be saws, not lasers or drones.

Biomass needing little or no maintenance would not also have the necessity or cost of the robots.

 You would need to own or rent some land but you can rent a lot cheap where I live for about $400 a month. If you're already on the land you're already good to go..

If you don't own land consider buying into a local co-op where they'll let you grow the paulownia like for biomass.

While some co-ops typically have initial fees of  hundreds to thousands of dollars and perhaps other fees, some of them are offered at no cost.

 If viable in about 5 years you may be getting a million dollars or about $200,000 a year profit after expenses. And beyond that you may be able to expand your business. Admittedly it's a risk of your investment, but there is no investment without at least some risk.

If you don't yet have money for expensive trimming robots which you actually may be able to buy in 5 years presumably they say, consider growing Paulownia for biomass. It's worth about $40,000-$240,000 an acre and only takes two or three years to take your profit unlike the trees which take 5 to 8 years and biomass really is a set it and forget it crop to earn your profit. Just a few acres of the biomass could earn more than a hundred thousand dollars in just 2 years.

Once you've cut down your biomass after like 2 years and you have your $40,000 it then grows back really fast..as much as 150 tons a year of biomass..it's one of the fastest growing trees there is.

  I would think this plan could be a way you could start with your own farm and then you could help other people with their farms except you have a major advantage because you don't have to keep trimming the trees all the time so you can multiply up your profit a lot. 

 Also perhaps a way to much improve forestry business in general like for say Christmas trees because Christmas is the world's largest folk celebration. Lots of presents beneath the branches and the Greensleeves Christmas song sounds good.

Eventually this could also be sold as a franchise where you're getting a percentage of all the other peoples earnings being invested by other people in their farm and so most involved are getting much richer..

Note For Those on SSI;

While a co-op is an option, and trees don't count as tax until the harvest, they count against SSI because they're an asset. The best option for those on SSI may be to get a relative or associate who owns land to grow the trees.

 

 If you don't want to use your own land you can also invest in farms that grow biomass for as little as $2000 for the investment though these  often have a wait time more like paulownia trees (5 to 8 years).

 So all you need to do is plant your first trees either on your own land or relatives land perhaps who lives in the country or with a co-op if you don't own any land, and in 3 years all you have to do is take photographs of it and send it to the buyers to visit your property and arrange transport with them..

 Doing biomass like this may seem to be even better than growing and harvesting the trees but it's not either or.

 A hybrid plan might be to use part of your land for biomass and also the rest with the trees.

  This plan would first self fund with the biomass and then after a few years you buy into the tree farming with the robots. And this may add more value because it's getting cheaper by your business volume and by making it so that all you have to do is plant like 10 more acres and at about 8 years you've earned millions more dollars.

 Of course you might not be interested in the robots and earning with biomass may be enough for a lot of people to consider without the tedious maintenance.

 As they're being developed the inventors still consider robots to be only semi-autonomous, or at first at any rate. So with 10 acres you would still need employees but you may have lots of money and you're the employer because of the earnings. You've reached seniority, even if 20!

Oust The Mouse! Vamoose the Moose! How to remove rodents from your house. No Traps or Poisons. 4 Simple Cheap, Safe, Easy Steps..

On this page I'll show you how to use a simple DIY Method to Remove Both Rodents and Insects.

Rodents can be a problem worth solving.. they spread disease and can chew up your baseboards as well as not make your landlord so thrilled.

I live in a rather upscale place but by the lease the landlord won't pay for removing the mouse.

Mice have gotten resistance to traps.. and won't as often accept bait if you have handled the trap. If your hand is snapped it's not pleasure yet..Here I will discuss some cheaper safe ways to remove mice.

  Exterminators can be pricy because according to Leo AI on the Brave search engine, the cost can range from $150 to $475 for traps and live removal can cost from $50 to $80 per mouse.. Fumigation costs can go into the thousands..

Mice tend to go indoors in the winter time when they smell food cooking. They can't live outdoors in the winter time so they decide they want to like us!

Even so I tried methods like sealing up my food and putting it in a large galvanized trash can that cost me $75. I also tried sealing my water by spraying like dishwashing detergent in my sink and toilet so the mouse can't drink the water.

You may have heard that phrase the first days of an old science are always better than the last days of a new.

 Using a galvanized trash wasn't pseudo science for me.. from the mouses point of view it seems it was just superstition waiting for future improvements. It took me weeks to remove the first time with the trash can. 

Here's my more enlightened view, prepare to be more amazed!

"Some simple cheaper steps you can use to totally remove the mouse from your house."

What you'll need;

Cinnamon, 

Cayenne,  

Cornstarch ( not the same as cornmeal or flour)

Baking soda 

Sugar 

Melatonin (optional)

Step one ..seal away your food..

The rodent problem in the tropics seems to be beyond comparison and we might wonder if they could just find good ways to seal away all the food this would solve it.

You may not have time to clean but there's a simple trick to do this without doing huge amounts of cleaning and that is just to put your food in the refrigerator and seal up all the rest like in containers if needed.

Next put cinnamon and cayenne in a line across the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, this is unpleasant to mice..(You might want to put it in a special tray across the width of your refrigerator door inside the refrigerator so that it doesn't stain your shelving, it hasn't stained mine, but my own refrigerator has a hard, smooth surface, You might want to use just to bit of these herbs to start...) it seals off your food from the mice especially combined with another trick and that is to turn down your heater in the winter (or even AC but mine won't go low enough in the heat) this makes the mouse uncomfortable and they tend to leave.

By putting all or more or morsel of your food in the refrigerator, and by sealing access by way of the cayenne and cinnamon you now have a way to keep the mouse from getting much of your food. This also drives the mouse to the safe natural bait (CBS more in a moment)..this itself only distresses the mouse and doesn't harm it.

Step two as I say you want to turn down the heat of your house if possible like in winter so the mouse is more uncomfortable but you're not. To do this and to be toasty and comfortable winter all the time and also save on heat you can use the methods I discuss in the link at the end of the page..

Step Three

This is the real 100% step. A super cheap safe simple type of bait that doesn't hurt the mouse but makes it leave because the mouse can't resist the sugar in it.. once you've limited the mouse's access to your food and water then you want to give it something with real flavor like sugar.

To make the bait all you need are.. "Cornstarch Baking soda and Sugar.. CBS".

To make this bait use three tablespoons of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of sugar and then one teaspoon (the spoon that's about a half an inch wide) baking soda stirred in a medium-sized bowl, that's all you need.

 This is safe for the mouse and the pets and children and it's natural and cheap.

The advantage of the CBS formula is  it stops roaches or other bugs well by a different method and it also stops rodents because like bugs mice can't resist the sugar and the baking soda changes the acid in their stomach so they can't digest and combines with the cornstarch in their stomach. This expands and gives them a stomach ache and they have to leave.

Combined with limiting your food source in the refrigerator with the cayenne and cinnamon and also perhaps turning down the heat of your house to save more heat and this drives the mouse to the bait and the mouse knows you've won the mouse marathon. Sad Mousemas not a mouse was stirring, we had a blendor!

While I don't own a cat it's actually the scent of the cat that removes mice but also I can imagine purr-fume without paying $200 purr scent a month for cat food. Even so research shows that feline felicity will reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke by a third.. otherwise you have a pet rat who likes you and your neighbors a lot!

  Finally an added boost to your defense might be to take some liquid melatonin and blend it in with the CBS formula.. melatonin is found in every living cell and is less toxic than water and has been used by millions.. well actually they were asleep at the time!- and while there are better ways to achieve sleep if you need it (like passion flower I use) because while melatonin does work well for sleep it also causes low blood sugar which seems to make it "work too well". 50% of adults have blood sugar issues and 80% of seniors will have them also.

Melatonin brownies have been used by teens as a practical joke where the other teens at school eat the brownies and get so sleepy and zonked out they have to leave for college..

The super power to cause sleep may be a good reason to use some liquid or powdered melatonin blended in with your CBS formula.

One thing about sleep is that you forget a lot of things and you don't always know where you zonked out. You want the mouse to think of the general area of edginess but because of the way that this may both disorient the mouse both by sleep and the stomach ache, this gives extra value of your camouflage making it so if the mouse can't be really sure where in the world it took debate, and was more aware of speech recognition so be or not to be what was your celebration!

Like this combined with the CBS formula where the mouse gets a real (though temporary and harmless) stomach ache, the mouse will pass out and take notice!

Note.. if like a lot of people you have some melatonin in reach already and you decide to use this melatonin method just put some of it in some water perhaps half a cap overnight to make a liquid.

 I put this in a small spray jug and then spray it onto the bait which I put into a 3-in wide jug cap.

Make sure not to get the melatonin on you as you're spraying it on the bait or you may find a temporary cure for insomnia for a few hours!

 Perhaps the best way to do this is to put it into the cap and then on the floor where you've seen the mouse and also lean over to spray it there so you don't handle it because it sprays out sideways somewhat otherwise..

Better might be to just use melatonin drops.

As I say other methods can be expensive and not work..supposedly according to AI ultrasonic mouse removers are a sham.

Rat Heaven is a Fountain of Rummage! How to Remove the Mouse from Your Trash..

A way you can use to seal away trash till the mouse leaves or permanently for me at any rate is to repurpose your freezer of the refrigerator..and to do this I use a medium plastic shoe box.. I wrap the kitchen trash bag around the outside edge of it with the trash bag inside the box and enough room between the box and the top to put trash in or either pull it out a bit and put trash in there. 

This puts your trash higher than the mouse can reach and also freezes it so the mouse can't smell it and find it, and for a cleaner fresher smelling house.

One thing we might say is we're putting pressure on the mouse and the mouse is putting pressure on us, and even while the CBS formula is safe and harmless to pets or the mouse, in a sense since the mouse is not gone we've only burdened the neighbors with the mouse by removing it from our house.

Mice spread disease and cause large scale damage to food crops in the tropics and they leave mouse poop on the shelves of your house and we feel that we have to go or the mouse goes and it can't be both.

The best long-term solution I could think of that's the most humane to the mouse and the people both might be a method that's been tried of using carbon dioxide ice CO2 and putting it in the borough of the mice like in the city. This causes the mice to die a peaceful and painless death.

I think this could be computerized with small robots that go around where the mice are like outdoors in the tropics and has a small net with the drone that moves down and catches the mouse an the adhesive net and then applies the CO2..

Widespread use of the CBS formula method with the cayenne and cinnamon to form a barrier around the food and combined with the drones might also be viable.

 I don't see any reason why dry ice mousetraps like this might not be valuable other than perhaps if the mice are just outsmarting all the traps and it might be best with drones being a portable trap. 

While the mice are evolving to resist poison and are outsmarting the traps in the tropics this method of the CBS formula combined with the smarter use of cinnamon and cayenne stuns the mouse harmlessly and doesn't change the mice genome, so the mice may not be able to evolve ways to get around it.

Combining this with the CO2 drones may also be more viable.

Side Note 1; Winter Weather Control; be cheap and prosper! 

(Most people spend $300 a year on winter clothes year after year and presumably they're dissatisfied. I always was so I found how to resolve it.. With methods on the link I use you may only have to pay like $200 for methods like mittens or memory foam one time and from then on you're basically much more adapted to winter..

 With enough years of research I found what works to stay cozy even outside for hours. I like to walk for 8 to 10 miles a day as I have for 28 years.. including a microfiber blanket layer I had to sew myself and also, electric pocket warmers inside, these dry out what little moisture there is for toasty warmth, plus a thin lightweight special type of memory foam, how to keep from tearing the memory foam inside your outfit, where to buy all these improvements, The best oven mitts to wear and how and more!

Click Here or see the same link for more at the end of the post about how to be warm in winter cheaply.. (also works for outdoors if you use a special type of memory foam, "closed cell memory foam otherwise with open cell foam the wind and rain will just blow right through you and closed cell memory foam is much superior"..If you think this sounds good about winter where you don't have to keep paying $300  year in year out for winterising methods that don't work see my other cloned link after you read this page. You can also save thousands in heat saved. The real savings though is about $6,000 because if like most Americans you grumble four times a day about the weather and winter the total might be like $20 a day it's costing you. Like other kinds of stress it can be assumed that you're losing neurons and gray matter to Winter every year. One possible solution for this that a lot of people might want to consider is the adaptogenic herb called Withiana. ( adaptogenic is defined as a herb that changes the body in many beneficial ways without itself causing harm.) Other ginsengs like Siberian ginseng or Korean ginseng have edginess issues  and withiana is thought of as a smooth ginseng, because it's relaxing and the patented Sensoril formula of withiana is advertised as a stress reducer and it also protects 80% of neurons when you're under stress. We assume that we're already using quite a lot of neurons to the computer with it stress and that combined with winter maybe better off being saved by something like this herb.

Keep in mind that this is not medical advice and I'm not a professional. You use this site at your own risk..always be sure to ask a doctor before making any changes in health or exercise.

Methods I use  make it so winter is more like a wonderland.. these are special tricks and I had to go through like 39 tries to find each method that works, like Einstein said the first 99 times he gets it wrong and the hundredth time he gets it right, these are representative samples like in painting where where 99% of painters on the web are better than Picasso, Picasso _____? And if we clean up more than Einstein, the landlady says I'm so creative!

Side Note 2; Removing insects

The value here on this post is that the rodents can't resist the sugar in the CBS method and this also works for other issues like removing bugs but this may remove them somewhat more..( for this issue I highly recommend DE Diatomaceous Earth, this dramatically removes every single bug in your house. DE has super sharp small edges almost as sharp as a diamond made of silica and this will cause abrasion on the exoskeleton of any animal like a flea or a roach causing them to dehydrate. DE is also called the bug killer you can eat because all it is is mostly silica and is also highly useful as a wall cleaner if you use it safely. It doesn't take the wall off the paint or the paint off the wall!-like baking soda even though it has super sharp small edges so it removes all the stuff on top without removing the paint so it's much better.

Because I use it on my wall I think this is the main way that when insects sometimes come in my house they are stopped in a day. Perhaps just putting a small pinch in the corner wouldn't work as well like this.

 Even so you don't have to keep spraying and spraying a toxic insecticide. After I started cleaning my walls with it (DE makes a great wall cleaner if used with caution) I haven't had to spray once or use more DE in years.

While DE has had a long and safe history in agriculture it has some important cautions I discuss on the link..You don't want to get it in your eyes or in your nose.. this is especially important but if you take a small pinch of it and put it in the corner of your house where you're not getting the dust or getting it in your eyes this removes every single ant roach and presumably dust mites. If the spiders go you probably also have removed the dust mites because the spiders them and even if insects sail into your house when you open the door they soon stop in a day instead of having to wait like six days for them to go.

 One advantage of this method is that you won't  have to spray and spray (how could I spray and spray more often!) and this removes the insects from your house. Years of control with a bit of DE at the edge of your wall and you're done! (Just be sure not to Hoover or sweep around the edge of your rug where you put it..)

This is not poisonous so much like bug sprays and it's cheap. When I was a kid my mother used to use boric acid and put it on the slabs of meat in store at our rural house and this stopped some of the bugs and I tried this years later but I can tell you, by comparison DE is much much more powerful! And you don't have to keep spraying. Boric acid stopped some of them but DE stops almost all of them of all types.

 

(This removes all types of insects except for gnats I found, maybe they sail around in the air so they don't land on it.)

If you like Click Here for my post about DE and both the wondrous value but also the special cautions and how to use it more safely or see the same link at the end of this post if you like.

As promised here's my link about how to save thousands on heat and improve your health by finding methods of staying warm in winter without freezer burn!

And also here's the link about using diatomaceous earth DE for solving issues like dust mites around your house.
