How do you think the COVID19 pandemic will influence societal change, particularly in Australia? Surely the western world will re-assess it's dependence on China to produce our medicines at the very least. Or will the lessons that we are confronted with now simply be forgotten and we return to needless consumerism and dependence on cheap imports in the name of a "healthy" global economy? I hope it wakes people up and drives a bit of a reassurance in self sufficient living, supporting small local traders and the like. Of course this kind of living reduces the profitability of big business so there would be more economic stress. Would love to hear some thoughts from you guys, stay safe friends

I don't have a cup for each person so we'll just have to share.

Any excuse for a party, i'm in

I’ve done a bit of research since my post. Seems like a bit of a minefield. Not really a process I could get sorted in a hurry that’s for sure.

So a good friend is off to Peru for 10 days and is going to hunt around for some bits and pieces for me. What are the legal requirements to send cacti from Peru to Aus?

Looking for some seeds or whole plants. What’s out there?

If we all agree on something I would be happy to buy the seeds all in one go and send them out to members who want to take part

Marrow sounds like fun.

I'm in, getting my pumpkin on

Interesting, would love to do some trials with spores and cow vs horse manure. from my experience using horse manure in the gardens can be a horrific mistake. So many more weeds seem to accompany it compared to other manures

Cheers mate, I will check it out

So I’m heading to Lake Eildon VIC in a week for a short trip. I haven’t had much time to explore the country around the area. Does anyone have any experience around there. Planning on doing a bit of fishing and will no doubt get sidetracked wandering though the bush looking at plants. Any tips, plant look outs or notable must see’s?

Why on earth would you want to end a trip? Buy the ticket, take the ride...
