$50 of misery...never again.........? I'd would have lost my patience after the first 10mins of waiting...& just walked away ...back home to an omelet...

its refreshing to see such development (even though personally I'd prefer to eat food grown the old old fashion way) but it means that maybe in time farm land can be re-forested & the new farms can inhabit the cities

both lots of my seed germinated...

you need a good warm climate for tumeric.......

"how long it would take to poison the electrodes?" so do you think the electrodes would need regular replacement? What might poison them?

the only issue seems to be the size of the system.... 15sq m will power a computor notebook... ~600watts per hour per ha

is that a "small bick" ...as in not a normal standard size? ....maybe a cm tape measure or ruler.....?

got a nice look....is it super dried out or does it normally appear all tubee/bubbly?....I like it...don't know what it is.

how'd ya get them dolph's to pose like that?

ok the raCE is on...3 equal size grafts....1 on dragon, 1 on pere, 1 on trich interesting to see what will grow the fastest! reckon Incog should throw some special seed to the winner...(needs a winning time/date)...anyone else in the race?

so what's the best time to cut? spring...summer ...autumn...? during spring & summer there's a lot of growth & fatting to be had.......seems a shame to cut then unless you need too. Autumn cuts...should give a good start for new pups in the coming spring...? I'm not keen on the pupping above ground look (mid stem).................I'd be inclined to cut for a good long clean stem/tip...& then cut up the base/lower stem into 150mm sections for repotting....so pups form just above the root..............other wise you get the permanent cut scar. I find cutting on the areoles, causes them to pup..........I do it with grafting also....cut the seedling/scion through the areoles, & they throw out multiable new pups @ the graft union.

how do they get the waterfall effect? ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE0fqwR4doA

tall log grafting an opuntia & others on trich trich hybrids growing well

go for 3 unique cuts of cereus,,,,unless you wanta be collecting/storing pollen...........

yeah worth having a couple of other cereus to pollinate.....throw in c validus or c jamacian etc...or just some muttly cereus peru....then most of the flowers will have fruit....

Dragon grafting arrays.. Poor pic's...its the bright over exposed round 1, lower middle...its about marble size at the mom........... so on the right middle below the 2 largest round 1's...1 of 2 took...

Thought I'd post some of the 300 gifted (many thanks) "cereus monstrose x" seeds to seedlings........most of them grew ~60% show monstrose form...but I suspect the monstrose # will be lots less at maturity.............. red pot some CMx grafts on dragon grafting array.... a CMx graft on San p log & while posting in a fruit section....I tried eating this? today ...sweet, flavoursome, succulent juicy even...size of a large apricot....skin is smoooth,,,, I'm going to plant a huge bed of these...idea orchard food....thrives on drought & neglect..likes frost....my perfect fruiting companion....ideal permatcultural plant...if Only I knew what this day red flowering ...almost scentless plant was....(Echinopsis huascha?)....inter-specifically hybridised the flw with other's as they flowered ..from EG's red frich project to whatever...should get some interesting off-spring...

top of the North West...of the south...............can't miss it, end of the road...lots of nice walking around there........ yeah the 30 c days are killers''''too bloody hot.... here's some more hot sunset through red orach forest....

ok I may have posted this earlier...but its my favourite beach.......& its the only sunset I have taken on file...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_bear Thylarcactos plummetus "vicious, carnivorous marsupials related to koalas .......that inhabit treetops and attack their prey by dropping onto their heads from above" didn't know they laid eggs.

actually on 2nd thought I'd agree...reptile...snakes maybe...

unless you want to eat them...then wait 3 days or so after they crack so the sugar builds up...protect from birds & bats

old puffballs..............?
