    thankyou all very much. the bamboo pile in under a shady bunch of camphor trees. there might also be another aus native hardwood amongst the bamboo mix. much appreciated. also .... this those two blue shrooms yielded black spore print. also ... they were growing at the very top of the mulch pile. again ... thanks heaps, & Cheers!!
  3. I was wondering, if there among us, metal fabricators, welders, that kinda thing?? I've been teaching myself to TIG weld, making rocket stoves and gasifiers. what? you dont know what gasification is??? LOL look here --> http://victorygasworks.ning.com/ - Gasification is pyrolysis. its like destructive distillation, you burn the flammable mixed (ert & inert) gas rather than condense it. I was just curious if there is anyone here doing it? would love to bump heads with ya. Sláinte edit: this warrants a discussion about biochar or terrapretta or adding elemental carbon to the soil ... helps plant growth, locks moisture etc.
  4. Hiyas ... I been researching this palm, and trying to find seeds.... finding it more difficult that i had imagined considering it's everywhere in juice form. I was just on to Austrahort this morning, they called their supplier, and it's difficult to source them for some reason. I'm just bought the jelly palm, and the chilien wine palm (huge tall thing) but what I really want is the acai palm (Euterpe oleracea) for the raved about juice. going to try my luck with Theobroma cacao... it's said they dont like the northern rivers so much, so I'm creating a small rainforest area for them to live in. have a thick of bamboos that block the higher altitude winds we get here, so thats what the jelly palm will be for too ..... wind breaks. and avo's and maybe icecream bean..... rather have an avo if I have my choice!!! .... for the shade. if there's anyone who can input from growing chocloate successfully would be awesome ... i'll be stoked. thanks for the read... so yah.... "Euterpe oleracea" Acai palm http://www.pacsoa.org.au/palms/Euterpe/oleracea.html thanks heaps cheers

    wanted: Euterpe oleracea

    hiya SL. as for theobroma cacao, it was a trade between someone from this forum or entho'australia forum. re: euterpe oleracea, I found mine (seedlings) on ebay, seeds seem difficult to germinate, need to be very fresh. My seedlings are growing well, the ones that survived like a shaded environment, mine are amongst bamboo shelter, and a giant Fig tree, lots of mulch, but mostly ... dappled shade, or you WILL kill them. my cacao died, so i cant say what it did or didnt like, much the same tho, semi shade. try ... Daley's nursury, http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/ should have some luck there happy growing Will
  6. check out all of "ELManlinos" 's youtube lawnmover videos ... cant see them myself at the moment ... i'm shaped to 8kbps broadband this dude has made what is essentially a bong to fuel his lawnmower. air in ... bubbles thru the 50/50 water+fuel mix (or aparantly whatever.....windex & lemon juice one story said from 2 school kids!) bubbles as does a bong, but to the carby rather than your mouth LOL ...... sorry simplest explanation I could think of!! saves lotsa $$ aparantly .... I'm gonna try it on my gokart .... current fuel tank is heaps dangerous anyway enjoy!!

    Growing HBWR for dummies?

    OK, much thanks for that ... i've just mulched again with grass clippings .... and some basalt dust .... but yah, will add some soil and horse shit ;) will post another pic when it's happy thankyou Planthelper ;)
  14. well, they're rainforest plants .... so the appreciate being under canopy ... do not seem to appreciate full sun for extended periods ... nor do they respond well to wind. watered daily hey?? that's interesting .... mulch works wonders ... ive just moved them all from a sunny spot to something more like where whey would grow in their native environment. have a few in quite shady spot, and they reach for the sun, and they get THICK stems / trunks. more light seem to make them faster, but more spindly ... in my experience anyway. the morning after they were rescued from the sun, the drooping leaves reached for the sky again. So folks .... canopy canopy canopy!! :D how does alba compare speed-wise to viridis ?? edit addon: caapi is a mutant!! ive seen it unhappy, didnt really grow much over a whole year ... was next to a basalt rock wall amongst bamboo (plenty of water too coz they 'rain' ... soon as it was under canopy .... its going mental skywards ;)

    Growing HBWR for dummies?

    local?? not as spectacular is it sounds, it's not a big tree yet, I took big thick horseshoe shaped cuttings from when it was a year or so old, growing up a tall palmtree, and put both ends of those cuttings in the ground, around the base of an an old dead Camphor tree. here's when the vine was healthy ... (come to think of it it had grass clipping mulch then) here's the original cuttings as roots: now .... here's the bugs - or whatever they are..... another: if anyone recognises the problem i'd be most grateful Cheers :D

    Growing HBWR for dummies?

    there are many many many white aphid like bugs living on the local hbwr vine ... does this affect the plant adversely? or should these things be removed? If anyone knows id love tp hear aboot it ;) cheers
  18. im in north nsw, but it grows like wildfire! great that its just wherever you're walking. im sure its there and more than likely ;) seems to distract arthritis ;) yay.
  19. A. Confusa. <-- (?) I may have posted pics of it here, but it was probably ethno australia's forums .... but my Confusa is happy as!! it LOVES full sun and lots of humidity. It was, at one point a fully established, tall tree ... (this is in northern nsw by the way) now, after it was lopped, it reshoots like crazy... has a tendancy to sucker once it is quite large, dont let it travel, as it is a declared pest in taiwan (or somewhere like that!)..... so watch it!! dig those lil feckers up! I didnt try transplanting the suckers, but that might be a good way of cloning .... im not too sure. Im curious if anyone's FOAF has tried extracts on A. Confusa .... I read somewhere that is was all DMT, bark and phyllodes, but another thread suggested it was all MAOI's ??? so... i remain confusa'd please enlighten me!! much appreciated. Cheers fellow psychonaunts x

    Illegal toads

    as far as our cane toads go ... i had 2 kittys, just given birth to a fresh litter each, and they both died from cane toad poisoning. if a cane toad can kill a cat, im sticking to what we aussies do best with these lil feckers... use them as golf balls. i mean, im a fan of nature ... but cane toads are something else
  23. Acacia complanata, if anyone's interested, I've a small handful of these seeds avail. (about 8 pods worth) , probably more if someone's looking

    Hemlock?

    as for youthinasia, this is your thing, however i remember reading hemslock / monsbane are things you dont want to endure the pain of. travels through the skin easily from the plant, and makes you very sick. i like dangerous plants myself, but this one wasnt one i thought was safe to have around in case some kid played with it.
