    Piper Longum

    Hey guys, Wondering if anyone has a piper longum plant (indian long pepper) theyd be willing to share a cutting or seeds from. Alternatively, if you know where to purchase in spice or seed form in QLD your wisdom would be highly regarded.

  8. Heres an interesting article. http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20141221-truffles-contain-bliss-molecule 'Maccarrone believes truffles use it to attract animals to eat their fruiting bodies, so that their spores are spread more widely and they have a better chance of reproducing.' I wonder if there are other fungi/ plants that rely on humans in particular to spread spores/ seed.

    Share the good movies youve seen

    I just watched a newish movie called THE ZERO THEORUM good watch. really quirky, colourful and imaginative and slightly depressing due to its exageration of the pains of living in a man made world https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rae7_O_6EtU

    truffles contain 'bliss' molecule

    Perhaps the fact that we are tool users plays into it. Maybe its a desired food that is poisonous to all animals in its natural state but weve evolved with it over time.

    truffles contain 'bliss' molecule

    Haha, probably ;) Yeah we do eat a large variety of plant/ fungi.. could it be said that there are no plants/ fungi that we are able to consume that other animals can not.. (note, a big mac doesnt produce a seed)

    truffles contain 'bliss' molecule

    I guess itd also be a question of what seeds or spores can survive the human digestive tract

    Is your dog dangerous?

    Nooooo booboo! One of the last times i was at your place booboo lead me back. I walked too far n couldnt see the house, lucky for me the dogs knew the way. they were nothing but loving and so very obedient. This is so sad to hear. I just want to hurl some rotten eggs at the whinger.. not that it would help!
  15. This is the brand that ive used in cooking before. It says they use acacia aneura or mulga. Upon further inspection it says on wiki they used to make seed cakes from these. http://www.herbies.com.au/shop/product.php?productid=10087&cat=6&page=6

    Cheese making - feta

    Hey guys, Anyone with cheese making experience? Am mid way through making feta, currently draining off my whey. I've read a few articles stating that marinating it in oil will allow it to keep longer. Longer than what? Longer than deli bought dry stuff? Or longer than fresh feta in whey solution? There is mixed advice online some say it will last a year, some say it will last 3 weeks, but by the sounds of things - if refrigerated, feta in whey will last longer? Is the purpose of marinating in oil to keep it on the shelf for a couple of wks as opposed to fridge? Thanks in advance, Lx

    cobweb mold on herbs?

    That's what I was gonna say I've only ever found cobweb mould when I've forgotten about Woodrose seeds in a sprouter. Is there stagnant water around the pot? You could try sitting a few cloves in water and spraying that onto the affected area of soil. That's how I used to get rid of mould in my gouldian aviary during wet months back in the day. Look for tiny tiny red moving dots on the leaves. Particularly underside of leaves - thems the mites. I'm finding cinnamon works well to get rid of them. But it requires numerous applications as it doesn't kill the eggs. So maybe the hardcore chem shit is best for them if ur inflicted with the lazy..
