  1. Hey Niggles, your updates r cool man, is exciting to watch your progress, how much you are getting done and how well you are doing. If you can, try not to stress to much bout the work load man, can be kinda daunting but it may take quite a few years to get it all under control. A few days a week working and a few days reading or taking it easy, maybe planning and imaging what changes to the property you will make is the way to go. ive a similiar situation here on my property, a southern version, bit colder, different animals and reptiles, different weeds and challenges it's taken 4 years so far, the more I get done the more I plan to do. I go hard a few days a week n do easier jobs for a few days building my self up for the harder tasks. Got a couple of stihl chainsaws, they are good quality machines, got the same helmet as you bought, essential protection head gear, heaps of times it's saved me from high speed debris and logs falling on my head. Gummies are the best foot wear, wet or dry, very good snake protection. i tried getting rid of the rats here humanly for a while, there were so many that it was a loosing battle, I ended up getting a few boxes of ratsak, bit harsh to poison them, I found this less stressful than drowning them or trying to mash them up when I caught them in traps, rat poison turned out to be a lot more successful in the long term here. Rats are smart fukkers, they no longer frequent the sheds n veggie garden where I put the rat poison, they keep to the paddocks and creek line n the big gums where they make their nests in the roots n undergrowth. i learnt to lay out branches n weeds n garden refuse in lines instead of piles, this way when I burn them they are more controllable and less of a hazard than making large piles, I've found that making these burn lines on large patches of invasive plants (here it's black berries, goarse and a rouge grevillea) is a good solution as when the 'lines' are burnt it kills the weeds underneath. This may help kill the bamboo rhizomes and prevent new shoots from growing. Look forward to more of your updates Niggles.

    Mandrake cultivation discussion

    the mandrake booze will be interesting Sagi, was the tsipouro clear before you added the mandrake fruits? i didn't do anything to the seeds, sprinkled them into the pot n put about 10mm of soil on top, yes it is winter here still, less than a month now to go till the official start of spring, end of August. Thought because the mandrake plant had come up again in the garden it was a good time to plant the seeds, when it starts to get warm again I'll move the pot into the green house to keep the pot cool over summer.
