cool plant.........a teaspoon of liquid honey really brings out the flavour..............

one note.......I've noticed on one tree that as the lower brunch dried up dispite repeated cuttings .........that higher branches yeilded a good sap flow..............and a good way to test if its worth saping is to cut branches wait a few minutes to see if it drips..if it drips then stick a bottle on the end..............some trees just won't give sap...........don't know why.......maybe they are best havested by the tradition bark cutting Canadian maple syrup method???

so homemade glove boxes and laminar cabints really arn't worth the trouble?

yeah there's some potental there ......but what a cocktail..........a touch of agent orange from your potatoes..........some recyled endocrine disrupters (birth control)..........hormone Stimulants from the meat industies..........anti depressents..........caffine........tobacco butts............pcb's from that oh so pure water in a plastic bottle..........pain killers........................................................................

Are there drugs in our water? Recreational drugs could become a major source of Australian urban water contamination, scientists warn. With tens of thousands of Australians using illicit drugs, researchers are concerned that these drugs could be making their way back into the nation's water supplies and food chain, Mr Pandian Govindarasu of the CRC for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment (CRC CARE) and The University of South Australia (UniSA) will tell the CleanUp conference today. "Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug in Australia, followed by amphetamine-type drugs such as methamphetamine, ecstasy and cocaine, says Mr Govindarasu. "These drugs, when taken, are eliminated from the body in urine and flushed down the toilet. People who manufacture these drugs also illegally get rid of the waste in sewers and stormwater drains." While most of the drugs go through wastewater treatment plants, some of them escape the treatment process, Mr Govindarasu explains. Also, drugs that are thrown out with domestic waste end up in landfills, and can leach into the soil or groundwater underneath when it rains. Mr Govindarasu and his colleagues are currently investigating the extent to which drugs have escaped into Adelaide's urban water system in order to get a handle on the scale of the problem nationally. The CRC CARE team is also testing how long drugs can stay in the soil and how they affect insects that live in water, soil bacteria, earthworms and microalgae. "It's crucial to find out how these illicit drugs affect the environment because they're very similar in nature to chemicals called endocrine disruptors that have been shown to have harmful effects on fish, soil, insects and plants as well as humans. In other words they may add to the overall toxic burden in society," says Professor Megh Mallavarapu of CRC CARE and UniSA, the principal supervisor of the research. Prof. Mallavarapu says there are rising concerns over the presence of legitimate drugs such as antibiotics, antidepressants, antihistamines, steroids and contraceptives in water both in Australia and around the world. The widespread use of chemically similar illegal drugs could be greatly amplifying the overall contamination problem, he says. "The contamination of water from legal drugs is linked with effects such as the increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria and 'intersex' fish that have both male and female sex organs," Mr Govindarasu says. "They are also suspected of causing reproductive disorders in humans. "With the high intensity of illicit drug abuse in Australia, we need to find out what happens when more of these things find their way back to us. They could be very harmful to fish and soil – and also to the humans who eat fish and vegetables grown with contaminated soil and water. "Although the concentration of these drugs is probably at low levels, it's still a persistent exposure for the rest of the population." Mr Govindarasu explains that the study will also help researchers find out the level of illicit drug abuse in different states. "We can then identify what bacteria we can use to degrade the drugs and prevent them from going into our food and drinking water." Mr Govindarasu will deliver his presentation "Occurrence of illicit drugs in Adelaide environment" at 3.00pm, Monday 16 September.

actually its probably not "seed rescure" I meant to write "seed embryo rescure".................you use sterile tissue culture tecnique to rescure the cells in the imature embryo..............there are a few you tubes of home made DIY set ups.............

something I want to set up and try....is immature seed germination................search for "seed rescure" germination...........you need a really sterile setup ......like a lab hood.......... with very distant crosses.............the fruit may not mature.........the imature seed can be rescured by tissue culture tecnique ...............gel plates....growth hormones etc

Vermiculite may contain asbestos i was watching a TED "Margaret Heffernan: The dangers of "willful blindness" and this came up.....it was news to me ....and I'm not even sure if this was the best forum to post it...........I'd welcome any comment.......its something I have used a lot for seedlings.......... a wiki quote "Although not all vermiculite contains asbestos, some products were made with vermiculite that contained asbestos until the early 1990s. Vermiculite mines throughout the world are now regularly tested for it and are supposed to sell products that contain no asbestos. The former vermiculite mine in Libby, Montana, did have tremolite asbestos as well as winchite and richterite (both fibrous amphiboles) — in fact, it was formed underground through essentially the same geologic processes as the contaminants. A vermiculite mine in Virginia has also been found to be contaminated by asbestos.[broken citation][3]" The TED post says the mind was closed in 2002.................so really can you trust using the stuff.............I have watched a family member die from asbestosis ...............ugly desease.............. /www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Kn5JRgz3W0o http://on.ted.com/Hefferna

Hi not sure if your'll be interested ................I have Fresh tasty fruiting Cereus X seeds for trade ................international trading welcomed ..................see below seeds i'll like in exchange....if interested PM.............heres some info, which even if your not interested in trading ...is a good read...for cacti heads and sustainable life styler's............ Cereus or Peruvian Apple Cactus is an under appreciated fast growing cactus with delicious fruit These seeds (still drying) are from a excellent fruiting hybrid Cereus X then X again with Cereus aethiops and or Cereus jamacaru? So they should produce some interesting hybrids. Cereus fruit appearance: The cereus fruit is definitely not as sexy looking as its cousin the Dragon Fruit. However, it is just as tasty (if not more so). The Cereus X is an ovoid smooth skinned (thornless) fruit with orange-red colored skin. The skin of the fruit will turn from blue-purple to orange-red when ripe. The fruit will also often split when fully ripe. Some varieties will have pink or yellow colored fruit. The size varies significantly even on the same branch, but most will fit in your hand. the plants the fruit Cereus fruit taste: The taste of the Cereus X is a big surprise. The flesh is crunchy and melting like shaved ice. Yes, it is deliciously hard to believe. The melting crunchiness is like some kind of delightful candy. The fruit is also refreshingly juicy. Inside the flesh is white and somewhat crystalline in texture. The white flesh is speckled with small pleasantly crunchy black seeds.The crunch-of the seeds is similar to a kiwi fruit. The sweetness is similar to sugarcane. The flavors are very subtle fruity/floral and very very subtly tart. The outer skin is easy to peel, and sometimes the skin just falls off. The peel is not eaten the inside Food Use: I like to just eat cereus fresh out of hand or spoon it out. It’s really a tasty treat. It is additionally refreshing after it is chilled in the frig a bit. However, prolonged refrigeration (more than a day or so), seems to make the fruit kindof sticky Cereus fruit season: now in the south. Cereus pollination: Cereus pollination is likely from bats or moths given the nocturnal blooming of the flowers. these are hand pollination, Various reports state that some of these cactus are self-infertile and others are not. In all likelihood the plants will not be labeled as a particular strain when you go looking to buy one. Sorry, I know this is lame. As a result, you may consider getting more than one genetic strain for cross-pollination. The different strains may be distinguished by slightly different branch coloring (some more green and others more purple). Other strains may have slightly different branch rib pattern or thorn pattern. Some varieties have yellow skinned fruit .youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=TlSWnRUf0CY .youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BFC3IPA9bsI Cereus soil: Cereus should have well draining soil. I planted most of the ones that I have on a slope to help with drainage. I have not found a lot of specific information about soil preference. Some sources have said that this particular cactus is tolerant of a wide variety of soil types. That being said, I have noticed that they appreciate organic material in the soil. For example, I planted one cutting in just sand/DG and the poor thing is yellow and has hardly grown while the other ones planted with augmented soil are doing amazing well. I have had success with a sandy loam, which is basically sand/DG like soil mixed with about 30% grow mulch. For my basic planting philosophy/technique check out this post. For almost all of my cactus (except the dragon fruit), I have avoided soils with sphagnum moss. Sphagnum moss will help the soil to retain moisture which is good for most plants but will predispose typical cacti to deadly root rot The vids and info from http://tastylandscape.com/ Misc: There seems to be a lot of misinformation out there about this cactus. The name would suggest that it is native of Peru. However, most reports state that it is actually native to Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. There also seems to be a lot of debate and confusion about the nomenclature of this cactus. I have chosen one of the most common names to title this blog but it has also been named: Cereus repandus, Peruvian Apple Cactus, Giant Club Cactus, Hedge Cactus, cadushi, pitaya, kayush and Night Blooming Cereus. Climate will handle down to -3 c............if you live in a temperate climate with heavy frost, as I do ...grow in large pots and bring inside a sunny warm living room for the coldest period...keep on the dry side through winter.................. What I most want to exchange for ..... any Selenicereus can be shop brought any Stenocereus............. any Hylocereus Epiphyllum's Myrtillocactus geometrizans -garambulla, garambulla cactus or other cereus, columar cactus, any good edible fruit types...... trich's ok and any X's of the above also welcomed....any thing really

over the last 18mths I've been collecting any info relating to cacti fruits that are traditionally eaten (native peoples)...............this is just a portion of the ever growing list....still copying it over from my files.........i will add the rest in time.... if theres any interest............feel free to add......As you know, all cacti fruits are edible...........not all are worth the effort (like eating a crab apple or hybrid apple)............It would take too much space to include background info...(duckduckgo.com for spy free searching) so just the names are here....some of the synonym's may double up .....I have brought lots of the seeds from an almost as long list of international seed houses (another list I can post if any interest)........often spending hours finding the synonyms that MAF accepts...........(so they don't steel them)............quality of seeds vary alot...........can't beat fresh seeds from well mature fruit!.................so if anyone has seeds they wish to echange....I'm keen.....(but I have to wait many years before my wee seedlings produce fruits......so can only offer seeds of general garden stuff...boring) what I most desire are stenocereus (particularly those whose name follow with their fruit month...like de mayo..............any and all Hylocereus (already have undatus)...,,,,cereus.,,,,,,,,..Hylocereus megalanthus Selenicereus megalanthus.....and X's are good....................but open to anything..........anyways I hope the list is not a space waste and may assist fruit lovers guide..................

opps did'nt mean to quote the vids..............sorry about the space waste......................feel free to edit them out

wow Spine that was really clear.......really great vids....really informative....wish the whole world could see them......obama the butcher does seem intent to attack...............dispite not haveing any (openly at least) support...............Hesbuilah, Iran and Syria say if attacked they will attack Isral........i guess Egpyt even with its own turmoil may well attack Isral aswell........nice pincher movement, and isral certainly deserve's it...........however Isral and the us have considerably more fire power..........of course if China and Russia do come to Irans aid..............that would certainly even the odds.................obviously the west would then unite with the us....(suckers that we are).......call up all those discontented, dept burdoned unemployed youth.............nothing like a good world war to clear away all those economic problems..............hopefully some of those bankster's palaces would burn........hopefully some of their blood would spill............but kings are cowards ..........I'm sure they would be hiding away with their bitches underground somewhere...antartica maybe.........certainly it would be a real mess............personally I dourt Russia would get involved.......not at first anyway.........as the biggest country in the world they have all the resources they need.............they don't really need any one..............China plays the diplomate.........a powerful militry but still got a ways to go ..... still hasn't reached pubity really..........and I can't imagine their spoilt overfed princes.................would be much at war ...............but the poor country folk would make for a nasty force...................certainly a lot of dumb white trash out there will buy into the nationlistic shit ...as they do ..............and willingly sacrifice their body parts........along with all the migrants who came to the west for a better life ........hard to say how its going to play out.......my guess is.............obama the butcher will strike to a similar extent as he did in libya ......Hisbuilah is already involved......some attemp will be made against isral...............isral will bomb the shit out of them and roll over and secure the states with tanks..................by which time us and nato with also have troops involved..............Iran will back off and hope for the best ............possibly cementing closer ties with China............as they really need each over and China will move to further secure the oil reserves off their coast...........to which the us will probably concede..................and the world will continue for a few more years walking along the abys..................the price of oil will go ever higher .......the banksters will make even greater profits................being on a war footing the civil rights of the western working class (who prefer the delusion of being called middle class) will continue to be eroded.......................people like us will be pulled up randomly and searched via number plate recognition etc..............as i suspect we already are at the airports.............(can you please step this way sir....nothing personal the computor radomly listed you for a cavity search)................personally I wouldn't fly anyway......not since they stated using us common folk to demolish twin towers ........................I think movements like the producers of your vid really do need support....................people need to know whats going on and how they are being used...............saddly most people are really dumb....................seriously dumb.............and if they saw or hear stuff like that .................they just don't buy it................perhaps because its just to threatening to their world veiw.......perhaps they are just to tired with the kids and crappy job and morgage...........just don't have the time.......perhaps they are just dumb.................after all they will vote for the 2 party system.................case in point ..........i guarantee one of the 2 party's (same coin) will be elected next week or so in oz.........really they should be voting for Julian Assange............the guy is imprisoned in an embassy in London.....hes sacrificed his life for the "Free world" (I know the free world is a myth...but some of us can dream) the guys a proven warrior.......and the best kind ....a reluctant one........he has stood up and has been countered (and targeted) How could a true blooded ozzy not support him?.....but people are dumb....dumb as shit.........apart from a few oasis like the general Corro. community................reading the general post's ...there's some real sanity here................but free thinkers are and always have been the manority...............................as for a western revolution........i just can't see it.........a bloodless comprimise maybe.................a few riots in your homeland and the uk and france perhaps.................you guys all have guns so it could get a bit messy in places.......and it tends to be the innocent that get hurt.....find yourself a quite place in the country.....theres a lot of end of the world prepers......bound to be some decent communities..............keep you head down.............revolutions are really messy and are generally high-jacked, just another peice to be played by the banksters on their great chess board................see Libya, Egypt etc.....................and how come the people behind the vid promoting revolution haven't been arrested by the FBI............the fed has set up people and provided them with plans and weapons only to arrest them for terriostism...would a would be revolutionary really want to promote themselves on facebook.?...........I don't even go near facebook...yet somehow it manages to get into my cookies..........every few weeks I have to manually delete them out.............saddly the banksters win there aswell .. people start to self censor themselves......(free speech...ha ha)...........as bad as things are...saddly it has always been this way........always some ape who will be king..........they are like weeds........as I said before until all 7 billion of us can go online and vote on any and all issues..............and we are the goverment.......(decentralised goverment...we need to all be MP's or senitors...(but people never give up power willingly)).............there will never be peace........its in our programing..........just dumb monkeys beating our chest on the hill..................trying to spread our y chromsomes around...............but I'm a dreamer and would like to beleive in utopia................................
