Awesome. I’m going to try the 2x eyelets and run some wire between them. Cheap and cheerful works for me. Thank you for everyone’s input. I’ll report back with how it goes.

Hello everyone.
Just putting it out there for any interstate travelers heading to this EGA event.
I booked accommodation and have a spare single bed available in Springvale, not far from where the EGA event is being held.
It's only for 1 night on Sunday 12 May.
Happy to offer that bed to anyone who may need place to stay for the night.
Love & Light

Welcome.
I greet you in the Love and Light.
Just wondering if anyone had ideas of how to get a vine to grow up brick walls.
The two plants are B. Caap and HBWR. All I've got to work with is a brick wall.
I was thinking large metal hook eyelets and feeding them through this in a zig zag fashion
Has anyone had any experience or got any ideas in this regard?
Love & Light

I'm starting to get the feeling this plant would be nothing but trouble.
Thanks for the heads up.

Go have a look in the mirror. That's the best doctor you will ever find.

I was at a MediCann workshop in Nimbin recently and there was a talk about how an ingredient in Fisherman's Friend Original (Aniseed) works as a masking agent and was able to return false-negatives on roadside swaps.
Also a lawyer got up and spoke and mentioned a defense being used that has been moderately successful was to point to a NSW government road transport website that states that impairment from MJ only lasts 12 hours, and that you as a good citizen making sure you don't drive impaired, waited over 12 hours before getting behind the wheel and that you were surprised that your test came back as positive after relying on that source of government information as the authoritarian voice on the matter. Basically I did the wrong thing but I was given the wrong information by you guys that led me to do the wrong thing. It reminded me a lot of that campaign that said 3 drinks in the first hour and then 1 ever hour after that. I heard that caused a shit storm.

Learn more in his latest book "Magic Piss" by Halcyon Daze.
I really do think you are onto something with golden sunshine my friend.
Uric acid combined with caffeine is where the magic is at.
That and a sprinkle of worm poo tea invigorates them.
Higher plants love the combination.

Sorry to hear about your condition Zefside95.
You would be a good candidate for such a treatment but I would err on the side of caution if those alkaloids made you feel weird or unwell in the past.
Unfortunately I don't have any flowers or leaves at the moment but I do have some seeds I could send you so you could grow your own. Let me know if you'd like some.
On a side note, heavily increasing your intake of fresh bananas, avocados, ginger and ginko biloba would also be greatly beneficial for such a condition but I guess you probably already knew that. And yes ciggies don't help with their vein narrowing side-effects.
If you are in serious pain right you could head to a chemist and ask for Xylocaine 10% Spray 50ml or Xylocaine 5% Cream 30g. There are others as well. No prescription required. No point in suffering if temporary pain relief is easily available over the counter. Hope that helps.

These stems scramble over the ground, or clamber into the surrounding vegetation, supporting themselves by means of coiling tendrils. The fruit is gathered from the wild and consumed locally, but its leaves are held in high esteem for their medicinal value.
The plant is cultivated for its fruit in some tropical areas of America, Africa and Asia.Known Hazards
The unripe fruits contain cyanide and are poisonous.
Habitat
Naturalised in the south Pacific where it is common along roadsides, forest margins, agricultural fields and coastal woodlands from sea-level to 200 metres.
Cultivation Details
Succeeds in warm temperate to tropical areas. Requires a humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil and a position in dappled shade. Prefers a neutral soil, disliking very acid or very alkaline conditions.Passiflora species tend to flower and fruit more freely when grown in soils of only moderate fertility.The plant can flower and produce fruit all year round. An extremely variable and widespread plant, it has a very long list of synonyms. Plants are very tolerant of pruning and can be cut back to ground level if required to rejuvenate the plant. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus.
Edible UsesFully ripe fruit - raw. Sweet and juicy. Do not eat the under-ripe fruit since it can be toxic.The globose yellow to bright red fruit is about 25mm in diameter. Leaves - cooked. Used as an ingredient in soupsMedicinal
The fresh, whole plant is boiled and the liquid used as a children's anthelmintic, for intestinal nematodes and flatworms. A decoction of the dried plant is drunk to treat colds and chest coughs. It is also used in the treatment of tuberculosis, worms, and for coughs and colds. Fluid, pressed from the leaves and stem, is used to improve fertility in women. The root is antispasmodic.The leaves are crushed in water and the solution drunk as an antidote to the bite of the Papuan Black Snake. The leaves, combined with those of Erythrina variegata, are mashed and their juice extracted then drunk in order to induce sleep or to treat sleeping disorders. An infusion of the leaves is used for healing wounds. Fresh young leaves are mashed and then rubbed on to the wound of a snake bite. The leaf contains substances that have possible antimicrobial activity.
Agroforestry UsesThe plant is used as a ground cover and as a hedge.
Other UsesSubstances in the leaves deter feeding insects.
PropagationSeed - best sown as soon as it is ripe along with the pulp which will help break down the seed coat and speed up germination. Stored seed should be soaked for 24 hours in warm water and germination time can be reduced if the seed is then mixed with the juice of a fresh passion fruit (of any species). Place the seed tray in a shady position. Prick the seedlings out into individual containers as soon as they are large enough to handle and plant out when large enough.

If it's not already taken I'd love a couple of your Malabar chestnut seedlings

That's alright. I appreciate the honesty.
The price probably represents desperation rather than market value.
Yes I did manage to grow this myself after many failed attempts.

The price was based on benchmarking against well known providers.
10g @ $16.50 + postage from Herbalistics
1g @ $4.50 + postage from SAB
This is my first go at selling stuff. I thought I was in the ball park but perhaps my pricing is off.
What do think would be a fair asking price for 10 grams of viable propagation material made in Australia?
-
Welcome.
I greet you in the Love and Light.
I am offering propagation material of the species Peganum harmala aka Syrian Rue.
10g seed packs for $21 including free postage anywhere in Australia via regular post.
If you are interested, please send me a message and I'll send you a PayPal link.
Once payment is received the seeds will be sent the very next business day.
Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Have a great day!

Geeze mate you're game.
My face screwed up like a cats butthole the first time I had a taste.
I'd certainly say there is a hint of capsicum/chilli in its flavor profile.
The jam made from it is exceptional.

Absolutely!
She's a rainforest plant so she'd do exceptionally well in those conditions.

Welcome.
I greet you in the Love and Light.
I am offering seeds of the rare and endangered Small Leaved Tamarind aka Diploglottis campbellii.
10 seeds for $15 including free postage anywhere in Australia.
Growing to a height of between 7m - 10m in the garden, the Small-leaved Tamarind forms a handsome tree with a dense crown which provides excellent shade and shelter.
Flowers are small, cream-brown, borne on multi-branched panicles and occur from November to January.
Fruits are large (to 6cm across) and quite spectacular, 3-lobed capsules that split open when ripe to reveal the seeds covered by the bright red or sometimes yellow, fleshy aril.
Fruiting occurs between February to March and individual trees are capable of producing many kilos of fruit.
The flesh around the seed is the edible part which is refreshingly acid to taste.
Its distinctive, tarty flavour lends itself to both sweet and savoury applications. It can be made into jams, jellies, drinks and sauces.
This tree is rare and endangered in its native habitat with only 30 known trees remaining in the wild.
The seeds will be sent to you in padded bag.
If you are interested, please send me a message and I'll send you a payment link.
Once payment is received the seeds will be sent the very next day.
Approx 100 seeds available until all sold.
Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Have a great long weekend!
Love & Light

Hi RonnySimulacrum,
I greet you in the Love and Light.
I'm happy to point you in the right direction for a voice on indigenous bush foods and plant medicines, however both of these contacts are from Queensland.
The first person I'd recommend is Gerry Turpin. He's an Ethnobotanist and Mbabaram elder who heads up the Tropical Indigenous Ethnobotany Centre at James Cook University.
The second person I'd recommend is Uncle Allan Lena who is a traditional custodian and Yugambeh elder who specialises in traditional Aboriginal healing.
I'd be happy to pass on their contact details after checking with them to make sure its okay first.
I hope that helps and I wish you all the best in your preparations for the next EGA Event.
Love & Light
