  1. I pick leaves that have already yellowed on the plant then dry how you said, until they are dry but still flexible.

    if too dry already, add moisture in form of water, to the sealed space, checking the contents once a day.

    You can also add pieces of citrus peel to re-hydrate the leaves, i use those sealed food storage containers to store it.

    I have found the longer it cures the better it is, at around 2 years (the oldest i have) its a pretty good smoke and burns nice and evenly.

    Good thing about threads like these is that they allow to filter out drones easily

     

    Great to have you back and involved in the thread again, such great and sophisticated contributions and counter arguments  :P

    I would love to believe Allan but i am very skeptical of his claims, here is my ineloquent and basic critique 

     

    3.58 he refers to algae crust as the cancer of desertification, i would think that cattle breaking the crust up would make the soil more susceptible to erosion, here is some info about biological soil crust https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_soil_crust

     

    He says desertification is caused by live stock but there are other causes as well such as deforestation and drought and so on

     

    6.00 He says he proved they had to many elephants so they kill 40000 elephants and it got worse, so how can we trust his current "proof" of the issue and that it won't lead to negative effects ? (and this guy says he loves wildlife)

     

    7.00 He sees a national park in the united states desertifying that hasn't had stock on it for over 70 years, in a previous claim he says live stock causes desertification tho it is clearly happening in places without livestock as well

     

    10.50 he states burning 1 hectare of grass land gives off more and more damaging pollutants than 6000 cars. 6000 cars doing what ? running on idol ? for how long ? driving a certain distance ? what kind of cars ? burning how much fuel ? lol 

     

    12.16 "there is only one solution " "that's the only solution" "There is no other alternative" He speaks this in such a definitive way, those statements sounds like he is an all knowing savior, that's a bit much considering the issue of climate change is so complex, vast and multi faceted, sounds a bit delusional to me. 

     

    17.20 When it's green there is puddles of water, i think that may have something to do with it, that is if that is even the same area/paddock.

     

    17.36 Pity the mountain in the background is so blurry and out of focus in the 1974 shot, cause it would be weird if this method also greened the mountain that clearly wouldn't be able to utilize his methods, this stuff kinda reminds me of those anti aging creams and fat blasting weight loss ads and the likes.

     

    20.00 "by just doing that we can take us back to pre-industrial levels" i doubt that especially with the current and growing population, i doubt you could sequester that amount of carbon just using this method, that is if this method is even feasible in the first place.

     

    21.00 A good question and he couldn't answer it clearly, so no feeding required when you use a sigmoid curve (which is basically a fancy way of saying an s shape) ? What ?

     

    So when he says a five pound note if in a 100 mile drive someone could find one grass and on that we tripled the stocking rate in the first year with no feeding.

    So did they find any grass ? that sentence gives no real indication of how much grass there was in that area, absolutely none lol, they may have found a grass or 1000 grasses or none ? lol

     

    I would like to know how the large number of stock in this method are going to eat and drink sufficiently in the dessert ?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     


  4. This is one of the best investments i have made, needs no fuel, less pollution, very quiet and can be charged by the sun, no more mixing fuels and cleaning fuel lines and spark plug etc.

    All it needs is chainbar oil, a bit of a clean here and there, and it's good to keep the blades nice and sharp.

    Will cut through hard woods with no problems as long as the blades are looked after 2000-01-23_22_16_34.thumb.jpg.1c513df301fe10142dd9fae98486e089.jpg

    This is what i use for cooking and heating water for a wash 2000-01-23_22_15_49.thumb.jpg.45e9edbf592b8778e5bffb4182b9f9e3.jpg i live somewhat primitive but i like it : )

  5. On occasions i will add the seed oil into fruit juices, i mainly use the hulled seeds sprinkled on porridge and sometimes on salads, its nice in short bread biscuits with some coarsely crushed walnuts or macadamia nuts.

    I make a peanut butter chocolate bar fairly regularly with a heap of different nuts and seeds in it and hemp seeds are near always are added.

     


  6. Nettle that grows abundantly in the Bunya mountains.

    A great plant with very many uses, animal fodder, material, paper,rope, fabric etc. medicinal and edible and also very nutritious  5b7cedd23f5d1_nettlebb.thumb.jpg.5967bad0b55d6666161822f149844b7e.jpg

    I have made teas from it and have made nettle gnocchi, have heard it is a decent spinach substitute but haven't tried it like that yet, next time i am thinking of using it in a veggie lasagna, also think about getting a bucket of it next time i go for a bush walk out that way and try make a nettle beer, i have read it is good for the liver and liver problems so sounds good for a brew : )

    Have also read that it is a powerful antihistamine and useful treatment for asthma and such things ( may be good for the poppy tea drinkers who don't like the itch ? )

  7. I grew some water chestnuts last season in a pot sat at the edge of the dam, got a good yield but the water level fluctuations was a bit of a pain so i am trying this this season with hopes they will float when the water level rises.

    I put some shade cloth in the bottom of the pots so the soil won't come out.

    i think a better question than "did jesus rise from the dead" is "did jesus die on the cross"

    Maybe he died on the cross (which is an open box)  like dying from his former self into an open and spiritual being.

    Rising from the dead might be like rising up from the spiritually dead masses in which he was apart of ? i don't know i am just talking trash : )


  9. I thought it would be clear that my response was only a joke, i have zero intent to bully, offend you, or for you to not share here anymore, i mean absolutely zero.

    I can't tell if you are just having a joke back ?

    I am sorry if it did offend you, i can't control how you feel or perceive things but i think you have personalized something that is far from a personal attack, if anything

    The aeroplanes that stir my day may they crash and burn away.

    This is far worse than anything i had said in jest as this is a want for people to burn and die.

    However or whatever you do or feel is not on me, that is something you have to work out, with that said i of course don't want you to feel hurt or driven away from the thread over a silly comment made in jest.
