For what its worth I put some lime stone in a glass of water over night, pH 7.8 out of the tap, before stones went in, tested at 8.3 this morning

Mate the Danbar forestry tubes are great, and grab the stands... Also the NSW cactus and succulent society sells some great size square pots, just email and they will quote u postage if u don't go to meets Pix #1 is some cssnsw pots have little holes so those mineral mixes don't fall out #2 is a Danbar tray #3 & 4is a Danbar tubes, have large holes

My observations are not scientific by any means Dood, but I have noted that most plants that I repot because they are stunted, yellow and just generally looking poorly, all have lime stone rocks in the medium. I did a few soil batches with lime stone a few years ago, I'm not sure why, but probably because I had it and was trying to bulk out a potting mix... Anyways I know linking the lime to poor health is not a certainty but there are enough clues for me not to do it anymore.. Other plants that get the same attention with different soils do great... The limestoned plants always bounce back quickly after repotting... Also I have tried to love some of the fucked plants back to good health, but nothing I can do helps until I change out that medium.... Our tap water is 7.8. I use organic ferts, but not often home brewed.

I use apple cider vinegar periodically on certain plants but have just started using phosphoric acid, def better for lowering the PH than apple cider vinegar has been :-)

I've never tested the soil PH, but limestone in my trich mixes has (in my opinion) been detrimental, my water supply is slighty alkaline already though, if the water supply is < neutral i'm sure it would be fine

I think it is a admin setting.. The default display image size might be set quite large, someone with admin login should be able to change to a smaller size ie. 150px x 150px... Or something... Actually that would still load the full IMG data .?? I think the max upload size should be scaled back a bit too, 2mb was a bit small but upload limit should help the forum run smoother as the server would be serving less data..???

seems weird, how are they issuing fines??? Is the census number registered with a residential address/household?

I have some labelled as Peruvianus, but are all pachanois :-) Will be interesting to see what happens, heavy spineage would look great

Love the length of spines on the T. pachanoi monstrose x T. pachanoi 'Huancabamba' cuttings! Is this a common theme with this cross?? Love to see some larger sections if you have any ferret?

next in line if you do more than 4-

nice tags ;-) https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/4r5flf/map_of_electorates_who_voted_for_one_nation_as_a/

I will take TPQC x TPM pls :-) Is this a cutting ferret??

I'll have a look if its not too embarrassing I'll post a piccy ;-) did u get a rooted mid cut?? Looks very impressive growth for a year and a half !! :-)

Man looking nice!! Grown a lot more than the cut I grabbed back at the op

Ditto :-)

I have not much to add except that I was very surprised to find that a woody ourinhos cutting has rooted and sprouted new growth over winter here- it has been a pretty mild winter here but I still was impressed and thought worth mentioning :-)

next round for sure

Good morning world, here we have some p. Viridis berries up for grabs, I've already sown many so they will go to waste otherwise.

6 so far

I didn't want to do international because I already had the stamps to do that many, saving me a trip to the post office.. :-) There are plenty on the bush so I will msg about sorting something out. For these 8 spots, Australian addresses only please.

happy to help you out Halcyon, pending ms Andersons consent of course;-)
