    If you water from a hose or can the cinnamon just washes away, it works just like talc, which works also. I get 5kg bags of spices so I use quite a bit, high enough they cannot climb over the line. I use the cinnamon for ants all the time & for slugs (if with pot plants) the slugs are always hiding just under the pot around the drainage holes so I just grab them a throw them next door.

    Might have some luck fishing if I pump up some yabbies but otherwise not much luck there during the day, seems to be a fish nursery, heaps of baby fish. Anyone need some Withania somnifera or Cats? There is Sida cordifolia growing down from Muller near Twin Waters, might see if it has seeds & put some around Muller.

    Yes when it is close to the Sun it wont be visible to the eye but when it travels further away it could be more visible with a huge tail stretching back to the Sun (Jan 2014).

    Why would a spaceship have a huge trail of stuff flying out the back? Wouldn't a spaceship, once up to speed not need to use any propulsion? I doubt anything much would happen if it does slam into the Sun, since it is only 3miles across.

    I used to get free 5kg bags of powdered pepper from spice masters & that stuff works well for lots of pests but drives off some of the good guys also. I have a problem with moist soil seeking toads digging up my seedlings but people in the past introduced toads into their greenhouses to eat snails & slugs, I have no slugs in sight this year so if you can find some of the smaller toads around try moving them in & keep the delicate plants/seedlings up somewhere the toads can't reach.

    I am interested to hear if anyone has found Turkey Tail growing in Australia, I have used Atlas of living australia to search for Trametes versicolor & had a look at 3 of the locations given in SE QLD. What I found there was Microporus xanthopus, which grows everywhere on fallen branches etc so I think they have been misidentified. I was also interested to know if anyone has come across Yun-Zhi (Turkey tail) at any Chinese herb dispensary.

    Family tree lead back to a family shield from 1634 Transylvania, Romania. Scandinavian, Scottish & Irish ancestry also. Many of my ancestors that come over as convicts were hung for stealing handkerchiefs or some bread, what is says on their death certs.
