    One other thing you may try is to make a 'tea' of the soil that seems compatible to the species you want to cultivate, and add a bit of nutrients like malt extract.

    Pretty much my conclusion as well. nature doesnt work with inorganics, so i wouldnt go there.

    i remember sitting in the micro lab one day looking at all the ingredients for the agar recipes and thinking we've got it all wrong....

    Anyone here from Albury,

    And do you have a brugmansia flower to spare for me.

    I am in Albury for a funeral, and would love a Brugmansia flower for my friend.

    PM me, and i will return the favour when i can.

    Cheers, Ob.

    I think sometimes books become important as they signify a culmination, a climax, of a long thought process and reading cycle.

    for me in this regard, "A thousand Plateaus" by deleuze and guattari was one of these.

    I could quite easily list heaps of books that have changed my life, each in their own small part, but some are more meaningful of others because they help join the dots. even after twenty years books have the ability to compliment others.

    What kind of Truffles do you get down there Ob, are they local or imports ?

    I'm almost certain I've only ever had imported black truffles, I know there several types of truffles and even several different types of black truffles, so chances are I tasted less desirable cheaper ones or something picked out of season.

    I purchase fresh locally grown black truffles (i guess launceston is relatively local for me) when in season.

    im happy to set up an express post arrangement when they are in season.

    As far as native truffles, while i find them everywhere (including my front yard), i have never eaten any, and while their scent is interesting its not very culinary.

    I agree in general that they are over-rated according to their press, and i dont understand cooking with them, as i find the heat ruin the complex pheromones.

    Edit - I just don't get the fascination with Truffles, I've had them fresh & canned but they just don't do it for me.

    For me its the smell. canned they are a waste of time. as are cooked. as fresh as possible, but you have o be able to get the smells.

    on a light soup, or scrambled eggs (not cooked in, shaved on top of). or as i discovered last year, in camembert cheese ..... WOW!

    Can anyone recommend a good field guide to using drugs? Something of a pocket sized book to pull out and have a read of while you might be under the influence and any questions pop up. I'm thinking things like drugs interactions, dosage, duration, effect. Something of an Erowid in book form if you will. Yes I've heard of the internet but my phone doesn't support tech to surf the net, and a lot of the time when these questions pop up I'm out of range anyway. So any help would be highly appreciated.

    Thhaaank yooouuu.
