where are all the doofs these days? anyone know of any upcoming doofs/festivals in QLD/ NNSW? it's been too long.

Yep got mine today also, thanks a lot! :-)

I was aware of erythroxylum australe, but hadn't heard of coca in oz. ..interesting

Wouldn't mind giving them a go if there are any left :-)

methamphetamine - a type of drug classed as a "synthetic cathinone" Haha

I would very much like to have a pack :-) very generous of you :-) pm'd

Bump! Wondering if anyone is still growing any acaicas from this seed batch? Thought I'd chuck up a pic of the one I've still got.. Guess its been almost 4 years.. gives ya a good idea of the growth rate for these guys.

^^so true, there's been a few articles like this floating around lately... Definitely seems like they've been written by non-English speaking journalists... Or self proclaimed "journalists" anyway haha

That is one of the most terribly written articles I've read in a while. I couldn't even finish it haha

Haha I actually found a half-shredded pack of ciggies in a bag of brunnings potting mix recently.. Still had a few ciggies intact too haha.. I've also found pieces of scrap metal in a few bags of premium potting mix.. Found a gardening glove once too.. Good times

At the moment I've got a few chilli plants that are getting smashed by aphids. I didn't notice until today, but it looks like it's a full blown infestation to the extend of a few winged aphids jumping ship to near plants. There is a ton of ladybug larva all over the plants also, which so far look like they're making quite a good meal of the pests. so, my question is... should I leave it up to nature to fight the problem or should I get in there and drown them out with some neem/ other preventative measure? Does anyone know if neem will affect the ladybug larva, and what do you think the chances are of them actually hanging around to finish off the problem once they've matured to "ladybugs"? Cheers for your help fydes

Got my seeds today, thanks Glaukus! Legend!

Got my seed today, thanks a lot interbeing! :-)

Best score! Thanks Glaukus :-) most appreciated. Will definitely spread the genes round the community once I get these babies to fruit! Love my chillis!

So keen!

Yeww! Thanks interbeing :-)

Tea tree and neem oil spray, tulsi and Spilanthes tea extract as a spray, marigold, chamomile and geranium plants strategically located around the garden. Should be all you need to keep your garden pest free. Naturally.

Keen as if I made it in time :-)

Hey guys, As the title states; looking to buy or trade for mostly P. virids, and/or Nexus plants/ cuttings/ leaf material. Also interested in various caapi clones... and well pretty much anything else interesting you may have hangin around (HBWR seed, Khat cuts/ plants, various acaia seed etc. and anything else that may be of interest) Don't have much to trade at the moment as am just staring fresh... again! I have been lucky enough to have had some of my old plants returned to me from an old friend before I left Aus for NZ a few years ago, of which i'm willing to trade. I've got a few spare cuts (and rooted cuttings within the coming weeks) of: B. caapi (yellow) P. carthagenensis T. bridgesii T. scopulicola also.. a few seed grown T. peruvianus seedlings (3 y.o) chili seeds, (naga viper, bhut jolokia) heimia salicifolia cuts algeria nervosa seeds P. cubensis prints (for microscopy purposes only) and... cash. Lettuce know if you've got anything your willing to trade/ sell. will post pics later if required :-) cheers, fydes

Cheers for the reply! Yep deffs Tylopilus sp. pretty bitter considering the nice smell. Got a print off an older specimen that did show some pinkish shades in the pores, print came back pinky brown, so deffs Tylopilus. Thanks for ya help :-)

hey guys, I've never hunted for boletes before, but i've found a whole bunch of these growing under melaleucas at my local park while taking the dog for a walk. are they boletes? can I eat them? they smell good... kind of like a cooked meal.. maybe chicken? haha waiting on a print as we speak.

When I was in NZ I could easily see people living almost completely for free! There are fruit trees everywhere! Peaches and nectarines just growing on the sides of roads, grapes everywhere. You can go looking for oysters and muscles on most beaches/ inlets. Pippies on almost every beach/ inlet.. Can almost always catch a fish if you shuck your line out (good sized fish too) ...You've got kiwi fruit fields all over the place (also good for p. Sub sight seeing) almost everyone has lemons in the front yard etc.. So good.

When I was a lot younger and worked at Coles.. every Wednesday night around closing a few family's used to go through our produce bins and come away with some awesome stuff! Even though most of the fruit and veggies have already been sitting in Coles' cold room for months before they're put onto the floor, most of the stuff they throw away is fine! These family's were walking away with a few garbage bags each! Of good stuff! For free. Anything from cabbages and lettuce that just need a few extra of the outa leaves pulled off, apples and oranges that seem to have nothing wrong with them.. Bags of potatoes that may only just be starting to go a little green, pumpkins and so on! I wouldn't knock dumpster diving at all! I've seen what people can come away with!

Yeah I've watched some messed up movies before.. And I'll watch whatever.. But I couldn't watch all of that movie.. Horrid *edit: spelling

A Serbian Film Most messed up movie I've ever seen... Ever! "An aging porn star agrees to participate in an "art film" in order to make a clean break from the business, only to discover that he has been drafted into making a pedophilia and necrophilia themed snuff film." *edit: you'll have to download this one.. Banned in most countries.. And FYI; Not a film you'd really want to watch.. It's that bad.
