    I'm a huge fan of Werner Herzog. If he requested, I would probably eat his boots.

    I think he is more known for directing documentaries, and I personally prefer his documentaries. His way of connecting with his interviewees is remarkable. It's almost as though they feel they can be completely honest and transparent in his presence. Here is a link to a short documentary about text driving he did recently:

    I'd also recommend watching "Fitzcarrldo" (feature film), "Grizzly Bear" (doco) and "Into the Abyss" (another doco).

    I need some help identifying a potential fungal disease in my cactii seedlings.

    Last night, I noticed an orange patches in some of my seedling containers and I'm really freaking out. Is this just some weird discolouration of the soil, or do you think this is a sign of disease? The soil media is 100% propagation sand.

    I have searched similar topics, and found that fungicide or removing the lids to dehydrate the fungus is the best way of preventing further infection. What would you guys recommend when this happens? I'm leaning more towards removing the lids.

    Thanks in advance

    Weather reports have failed me too many times. I don't trust them 3 days in advance.

    I've got something important happening tomorrow night, but I'll head down on Saturday morning/noon.

    Looking forward to it :)

    Anybody who wants a lift from Brisbane area on Saturday - send me a PM.

    Yeah, I'm really keen too.

    Perhaps we should consider somewhere an hour or two drive north of Brisbane to accommodate for the more northern qlder's.

    Any thoughts on late April??

    I'm free until October.. I think I have may have wedding a wedding to attend. Thrilling life I lead :P

    Fantastic work, lhb2444

    I was doing the same when I was back at uni.. no pictures unfortunately. I've made a rat enclosure, a coffee table and a side table from salvaged pallets. I always found them really difficult to break up, especially the hard wood ones and I usually ended up splitting the wood and wasting half the pallet. I've purchased a circular saw now, but I'm too afraid to use it so it sits in my cupboard collecting dust. I could never get the neatness you have in work.. I got pretty lazy after hand sawing for hours.

    Anyhow, I wanted to say that bamboo is a pretty amazing building material and you can completely forgo the nails and glue. I made this awesome loft bed and teepee with a few ropes, nicely placed cuts and a machette. If you ask and look around you should be easily able to source some free material.

    What a fun party! I was very impressed with the organization this year.. It's really become a huge event over the last few years. It was lovely to run into you, Shortly. I hope you and Obtuse enjoyed the rest of the festival. Hopefully everybody got home safely and quickly. I heard some of the roads got flooded in up there.

    Perhaps I should put my own competing advertisement up. For $9mil, I will split your logs - rain, hail or shine and better yet, I don't require any petrol and I will automatically return your logs directly into your fireplace.

    This must be a mistake. They've already sold seven of these machines.

    Just to update the above posters: I prepared another 4-5 containers, moved them to my cooler bathroom and saturated the sand with a lot more water than previously used. Every single container has seeds that have germinated! Thanks everyone for tips and inspiration :D

    I do have another question - I've been obsessively watching a previous container with seedlings that are about 2 months old (see below photos). Do these look a little elongated? Should I move them to more sunlight and when should I fertilize them? I don't understand how they are growing in 100% sand with no nutrients..

    Zelly, that is incredible list. I'd love to get my hands on some of those seeds some time in the future.

    EG - I've also heard from multiple humans that the seeds are viable and I did actually have one successful container and every single seed germinated. I preferred not to state the seed supplier as I'm pretty new to growing from seed and don't think my inexperience should automatically be blamed on the seed supplier.
