Have lots of fresh narrow leaf catha edulis seed. Just picked today. Up for pretty much any trade suggestions. Pm thanks.

Ive drunk a bunch of moonshine that barely gives you a hangover at all. Its not the ethanol thats the problem, it just gets you drunk. its all the other crap that comes off the still. Whats known as the "heads and tails". This is also where a lot of the flavour in your whiskeys and rums etc come from. so it aint all bad. With well made homemade vodka you can drink a shit load, go to bed then wake up and all you feel is still drunk. then that wears off and your fine. Doesnt mean you cant give yourself alchole poisoning though.

Noticed this today if anyones nearby and wants some pach. I cant be bothered the travel time for it, its nothing special. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/long-jetty/plants/cactus/1100830385

how did you go? I have a couple of old agar slants your welcome to. They are on there last legs and if not used in the next year or so will go in the bin. Do you work with agar? The tubes are quite narrow at the top so its best if you can just scoop a bit of myc out with an innoculation loop then transfer to plates. let me know if your keen

Heard a story of some crew who where up the north end in there WVO van quite some years back and ran out of fuel. In a stubborn bid to not support the fuel industry and travel accross the country on just waste oil they aquired a dead camel that had been shot as a pest instead, boiled it up and the fats ran em to the next town.

Hi I have had my more sensitive plants inside over winter in a small greenhouse, unfortunatley spider mites made it in there as well. Some of the plants dont take to well to being sprayed with pesticides, even organics like neem and pyrethrum. My solution was to buy some Phytoseiulus persimilis from http://www.goodbugs.org.au/Good%20bugs%20available/persimilis.html They arrived promptly and seem to be doing a damn fine job. Im fortunate enough to own a compound microscope and its bloody satisfying watching the much larger mites scurrying around feasting on the spidermites and there eggs. Long story short i have more than i need. They have a short lifespan once there food runs out so if they dont get used they will be dead within a week anyway. There is enough for me to send some to one person only. First person to express interest IN THIS THREAD gets them. There are no guarentees they will still be alive, But they seem very alive now. I will express post them tomo morning if possible.

yeah they seem to have done the trick. I cant express how awesome it feels to watch them swarm all over the damn spider mites With the naked eye you can just see them scuttling all over the infected plants. With the microscope you can watch them suck the blood out of them leaving nothing but a withered husk. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Honestly i dont mind covering it, Its a fairly small package wouldnt be more than a few dollers. PM me with your details.

i know plenty of ppl that do it, but yeah you have to make sacrifices. how much do u really love that iphone

Anarchists are fairly easy to find. go to an anarchist bookshop, there are two in sydney blackrose http://blackrosebooks.org/ and jura books http://jura.org.au/ both are full of great people who are active anarchists and if you want to get involved you would be welcomed. You will find all the info on anarchy you would want in either bookshop.

there is a large nursery on gardners road, I thnk the suburb is botany. called Gardens r us. They have a fairly large selection of cacti, I the past i have seen a 150cm pach in there, a 40cm or so peruvianus that was really blue, and decent size spachs. I bought a 30cm scop from there a while ago. I think they are from hamiltons but there is no way to be sure as there not labelled. They have 2 large benches covered in other smaller cacti too. Problem is the larger cactus really arent cheap.

I think its a fantastic idea, id probably be trying it myself if my backyard got more than 3 hours direct sunlight a day. I think you want to have as much variety as you can in your space, so your taste buds dont get bored and also if one thing gets wiped out by bugs, weather extremes or whatever then you have other foods to fall back on. If your limited for space you definatley want to make use of climbing plants, either on existing structures or put up wires or trellises. Goji berries are a vine and contain very high amounts of antioxidants, grafted passionfruit vines can give massive yeilds. Both these take some time to establish, snow peas and climbing beans can give loads of food for the amount of ground space they actually take up. As someone mentioned before how you plant is probably more important than what you plant. tricks like planting things with a very small shallow root system next to things with a large deep root system means you can get plants closer together. And old tricks like planting beans amongst patches of corn so the beans climb the corn stalks.

I think the quote makes sense and i think your probably right too

My partner has just finished her studies in community services and is about to start working in this sector. I started watching this and decided ill wait for her, i think its something we will both get something out of. Thanks for sharing the link

I think the mushrooms just like to be where there's lots of ppl. there are some stunning photos in there, thanks for the link

Im not sure about all native species, i dont know enough id take Neem - althought the viability of seeds is quite short, Poppy - for pain releif and boredom a hardy native lettuce or even dandelion or nursturtion some type of tuber say potatoe or yam garlic a grain crop, corn or wheat something for its natural oil - linseed or peanut, olive even cannabis some kind of nitrogen fixing plant too, probably a legume

Awesome photos tripsis, such a stunning landscape there.

i have just started taking a capsule of reishi spore and extract with cordyceps sinensis extract from an australian company called concord sunchih. It is readily available in TCM herbalists around sydney. I have tried another brand of reishi capsules called cowpering and also tried the Koda phytorium seperate reishi and Cordyceps capsules. I have also boiled reishi mushroom and drunk that each day. The extract capsules work better for me because you have to boil the fungi for half an hour, and although you can boil a few days worth at a time, i dont really have the time or motivation to do that so i end up missing days. I've been trying a few brands to try and work out what is the best value for money. The TCM capsules are expensive at around $100 for 3 month supply. The koda phytorium capsules seemed as good as the cowpering capsules and about half the price, Unless there is a massively noticible difference betweeen them and the concord ones i think that is what ill continue to take. I have noticed a massive improvement in my immune system since taking these mushroom suppliments and highly recommend it. After taking the capsules twice a day for a week or so i find one a day is enough. Before taking these mushrooms i was constantly getting sick, and much more severly than those around me, since taking them i havent been properly ill at all, if i do get a cold or flu it barely affects me as much as those around me who catch it.

About a week ago i was passing through a town with fairly high altitude, couldnt help but check a spot that is quite reliable, but damn no luck. Was no mushrooms of any sort there. Been a fair bit of rain this past week though, and the temps def cooling down up there so im not too surprised. Good find mate!!

nevermind

Ive had these plants poppiing up all through my vege patch after mulching with pea straw and couldnt work out what the hell they where. after reading this thread you have just cracked it for me. if any pop up now in convienient locations im gonna let em grow through to fruiting. thanks
