Thanks for such a nice evening niggles, always know how to make people feel welcome and loved. And thanks to your housemates for having us too, I only realised late that they weren't just friends visiting so thanks heaps for putting up with us! It amazing how being with nice people pulls me out of depression. You lot are great. Can't believe you sold all the cactus, sunday must have been nuts haha Was great to see old friends and meet some new faces. Thanks to all for making it a good catchup.

I'd say both are from a fox, the kill and the scat. Difficult to ID on a good day, but cat's generally won't signpost with scats like that, open and elevated, whilst foxes and dogs will and often shit near where they kill.

That's not a Duboisia, that's a Myoporum, possibly M. montanum.

To me, the mute button is your friend with the following, but the visuals are nice. Not exactly what you asked for, but this might help brighten a gloomy night. I hope your family and mum are holding up as best as possible.

Acacia courtii propagation from cuttings

I always hesitate diagnosis 'cause nutrients are such a difficult field to truly understand and it seems a lot of the information books/sites/people put forth contradicts itself, and people just parrot shit which confuses things even more. Then you've got deficiency, toxicity, lockout, unavailability, interactions and a mix of all. If they've been in the potting mix for a while and you haven't added any ferts and are managing watering appropriately (or your water isn't high in iron) i'd say Phosphorus deficiency. I generally just feed blood and bone, sulphate of potash and occasionally trace elements or iron sulphate if specific symptoms appear. Just a handful / light dusting of Blood and bone on the surface, watered in and monitored response. I'll often have sacrificial plants and trial on them, my trials have been big potted obtusifolia and a small tubestock obtusi/acuminata, that can give me boundaries to play with and push. Each species can be different. Sulphate of potash is not only good for potassium and sulphur, but will help with Nitrogen fixation by stimulating the nodules via sugar production (or something like that) Sometimes I do a light charlie carp feed, but their potassium source is potassium chloride (cheap and nasty), you don't want to be introducing too much chloride, and the phosphorus would be soluble so too much could be a problem, but you can also overdo blood and bone. You can get Phosphorus issues if your soil is too wet or cold (but again lots of other things too, also being too dry lol) It's not a great time of year for Phosphorus as the cold tempratures inhibit the uptake. In cold climates, Pete Cundall (vege fella from tasmania) pretty much says Phosphorus applications from late april to late july is pretty useless as it won't really be uptaken or used. These links give a bit of info re: feeding natives. http://anpsa.org.au/APOL1/mar96-2.html http://www.sesl.com.au/uploads/articles/Feeding_Native_Plants.pdf welcome to the headfuck haha -

For reference: G1-G8 - Sown April 2003 - Bought as 'T. pachanoi' - Probably T. peruvianus Matucana type. G9-G13 - Sown April 2003 - Bought as 'T. peruvianus' - Probably T. peruvianus Matucana type.

You've got phosphorus issues imo. Here's a phosphorus problem in grasses. (source: http://inthefurrow.com/nutrient-deficiency-in-crops/) -
