    I'd agree with thunderhorse about not growing Solanums near poisonous ones, i.e. datura brugmansias nicotianas etc.

    That said I've grown nicotianas and daturas near tomatoes and chillis with no ill effects. Or maybe I don't remember them? ;)

    A fence isn't going to stop anything miss-meandor88. The possums... well I wouldn't mind culling a few to be perfectly honest, they eat all my edibles here. You'd want to use a different area of the garden or a different bed altogether. Aconite and mandrake are some of the few VERY toxic ones I'd be somewhat concerned about. Just don't keep them too close to any edibles/medicinals you plan on consuming. But by that I mean not directly beside them, the chances of soil leaching are pretty damn slim unless you're planting in dense clay. (Which in Brisbane is not out of the question!)

    If you want to adjust pH then dusting sulphur isn't a bad option, not too brutal. My understanding is that it is slowly converted by soil microbes into sulfuric acid over the course of a couple of weeks. Meters are cheap and much easier to use than those silly test kits. There's a lot of cheap gardening stuff on AliExpress if you're happy to wait a couple of weeks for delivery from Asia.

    You can also just piss in your pots to good effect.

    Plants that truly care about soil pH are pretty few and far between though.

    Thanks bro! Sharxx will be visiting Sunday or Tuesday most likely if you want to line up with that, or from Tuesday or Wednesday I'll be alone mostly that'd be the best time if you wanna make your own way over, if I roughly remember where you live it's easy to get where I will be just a short walk off Coro.

    Cheers to the well wishes from all again. :)

    In hospital with staph from gardening and grafting with open cuts... Yeah it happens kids. My parents knew a lady who died doing the same thing years ago. Can't make it this weekend but wanna catch up while you're over this side of town Sharxx? Be sitting in Auchenflower with my mama for a week on a drip after I get out of hospital, basically apartment bound.

    Find a friend overseas if you have one, or get a remailer service as zelly said, use a gmail.com or similar email, if possible make sure seeds and labels fit requirements before their final leg. Small amounts of contaminants can be a death knoll. Double packaging is good for small orders from commercial vendors particular if opaque.

    The way the thread works is this a little different to going shopping - you offer something to the person below you in exchange for what the person above is offering. Unfortunately it's drifted off topic a bit, but currently Etho has kindly tried to breathe some life into it by offering a Keeper's Creeper print for the next poster. It may be still available, Haleakala may have snapped it up, or who knows what, so give Etho a message and see what the story is.

    Of course you'll need to offer something yourself. Here's where something from FSRE comes into play, or you can wait and see if your order comes through (tried contacting the vendor?) or perhaps a wild spore print made from a hunt. Or have faith that your commercial prints will arrive. If you choose to DIY, check out on google and the search engine here and youtube how to make your own prints; it just takes a razor, a glass and a sheet of alfoil, it would get you a number of prints to boot = great trade items down the track too.

    So find yourself a print to trade and let's play! (well not me, but you :wink: )

    Understand the system of the thread? You need to already have something to play, but once you do it goes on indefinitely :worship:
