Cool bro, though the plant in the background has very different requirements then the cactus. Maybe its a good idea to raise the ground for the cactus so that the water from the other doesn't need to affect the cactus. That's if they are to remain close together....

I have noticed that moving through pot sizes gives better root development within the pot sizes. If I move straight to larger pots, roots tend to amass at the edge of the pot with less root development in the centre. Also, soils compact and change over time. Even if you have potted into large pots, you still need to re-pot them (into the same pot) so that you can minimise the anaerobic build up at the bottom of the pot (and give fresh nutrients). If you move directly to larger pots, you will initially see a greater growth rate, but over time you will notice that moving through pot size will give better growth pattern and overall performance. I have 1000's of pots full at any one time, I always move through pot sizes even with all the added work...

cool, it looks like you have most bases covered for water saving. An area for investigation might be to use larger trees as wind-breaks, trees also act as a surface for airborne humidity to collect on and fall to the lands surface. Furthermore, trees can be used to manipulate the rain to fall in bands leaving wetter and dryer areas within the garden...

I'm looking for a Aloe Polyphylla plant or pup (or 2). Happy to pay or trade. Cheers MG

i've got some cuts, rooted and just started throwing leaves (though in a month they'll look much better). I've also got a couple of 3 foot plants in pots. Swing me a pm if you like....

I'm looking for some Ario and Astro seeds, a range of varieties. Happy to buy or trade. Cheers

I'd like to open a discussion about LED grow lights. Anyone using them? Opinions? I'd also appreciate input from people that have practical experience with them vs CFL, MH, and HPS. Cheers, MG

keen as a bean, pm'd
