  2. qoute from the poisons act...that relates to the drug misuse act.

    "prohibited plant means any plant from which a drug of addiction may be obtained, derived or manufactured, or such other plant as the Governor declares and is hereby authorised to declare from time to time to be a prohibited plant for the purposes of this Act; and includes any part of such a plant, except in the case of the plant Papaver somniferum, the non-viable seed of that plant; "

    so that also refers to catha edulis, psychotria, kanna, b. caapi, syrian rue, the wattle out the front of the primary school and a host of other plants from what i just read in the SUSMP, Poisons Act & Drugs Misuse Act. Pretty much any ethno plant is now illegal in WA, correct me if i'm wrong. :blink:


  3. anyone in perth have their trichs/gardens damaged yesterday. mine copped a flogging, specially the psycho0 and the little khat seedlings . at least none of the growing tips copped a direct hit. still, it's carnage out there :(


  4. correct me if i'm wrong, but as far as i am aware on a molecular level, plants don't care how they receive their nutrients- as long as they are getting what they need- NPK and trace minerals/elements. it can be organic and composed of composted material, worm juice, fish emulsion, seaweed etc or it can be a dissolveable liquid fertilizer like miracle gro.

    aesthetically and on a spiritual level go organic, and obviously better and healthier for the planet to resuse and recycle waste and give it back to the earth.

    this all takes time to get a steady supply of bio waste which is readily available to use in the garden, in the mean while miracle gro at full strength every 14 days, water every 2/3 days for trichs in ground, 1/2 for potted , same for peres and khat during grow season, cactus in full sun. piss on citrus at infrequent intervals they love it, gives much better vegetative growth. small limestone rocks scattered everywhere for leeching into the ground for ph balance.


  5. Jwerta there is one thing and one thing only which will get of ants in wa. Amdro. yeah it's poison but sometimes you gotta bring out the big guns. Just spread it around where they are hanging out and don't water for a few days and they should be gone for at least 6-8 months. Usually I try to be a bit let's try and live together but if they start getting too close then all bets are off.


  6. thanks gilligan for your philanthropic efforts, thanks got for the peru and seeds and thanks uda for the carth. great to meet you all and meet some like minded gardeners, hope to be able to contribute at the next meets we have.


  7. awesome idea, monthly sounds the best-it gives people more oppurtunity to be able to make it. even if sometimes you're busy at least you don't have to wait a year/6 months for the next one. count me in, any w/end is usually good, except for the 21/22 of jan


  8. yeah i'm hoping it's just from stress, it was freakishly hot all of a sudden. and the areas were all northwest facing. i actually cut the top 2 inches of the eileen into horizontal slices to follow the blotch under the skin to see if it was an insect. was almost like a bubble under the skin that fininished just before the tip, shoulda taken photos :BANGHEAD2: the worst affected areas that were sunken in did not have the bubble syndrome though. only the marginally affected bits did, which looked like they were going to get worse. pray it stops and doesn't spread. now i have to decide whether or not to put yowie in the ground or not.

    also could commercial soil suppliers have viral/bacterial agents in their soil and either don't know or don't care? i wanted to make my own organic mix but the raised bed i built for my trichs took 5 cubic metres to fill so it wasn't an option


  9. hey mutant does it look similar to this, my psycho0 all of a sudden started developing these white blotches which are a little sunken, happened almost overnight. came home after a fairly hot day and found it like this, eileen was much worse and got hacked and left 3 pups which look ok. now the yowie is looking a little suspicious but everything else still looks ok. the white blotch near the tip is snail or slug damage, bastards :angry:

  10. yeah was thinking of starting with the miracle gro this week now they're settled in, though how do they cope with the blood and bone because it's high in nitro yeah, and they don't need as much as other plants i thought? obviously it's working for you so i might give it a lash with some coconut. and transplant all the potted ones into the ground to get more growth
