    Noob's first Cactus

    Thanks for the quick relies guys. I will obviously have a look around for more info but as a general idea - what kind of sizes should I cut this 50cm piece into? And mac you mentioned a 'good rich cactus mix' - any suggestions mate? Peace and thanks

    Noob's first Cactus

    Heya, so was walking through Bondi the other day and spied two cactus in a small flower shop, closer inspection found the labels calling them 'San Pedro' and what little I knew of cactus classification seemed to suggest they were. I bought the smaller but sexier of the two in a moment of spontaneity as I had been planning to get some soon anyway. Being a little paranoid with my first precious I just wanted to know if the any of the marks on it were of worry? Also people's thoughts on whether it would be better for me to cut and grow several plants instead of one single one (I plan to repot regardless)? Btw it is around 50cm tall at present.

  3. Hey, just wondering if anyone in Sydney (the closer to Inner West the better) has some Trichocereus Pachanoi that I could buy some cuttings from? Regards

    Warehouses/studios/unusual living spaces

    I think this would be cool too but like a garage with a roller door (if it had toilet and shower - kinda common from where im originally from- up here not so much it seems) I can put up with the cold and tend to prefer it seeing as I am a redhead

    Warehouses/studios/unusual living spaces

    Thanks for all the info - yeah a lot of my thoughts were confirmed. Thanks for the links Botanika - I actually love moreso the run down looking ones and industrial ones. Love to see that vid too Andyamine.

    Warehouses/studios/unusual living spaces

    Yeah cheers mate- I always dream of finding a run down warehouse with wooden floorboards, big floor to ceiling warehouse windows and open plan with massive wooden sleepers all the way through - Perfect.
  9. I have been living in Sydney now for around a yeah and have had a few places, I currently am living in the Inner West which is great cause it's a pretty happening place but best of all I can ride my bike to tafe and also to my art course I just picked up. I currently rent a room from a guy and like where I am living, but because of my art really feel the need to find a new place i.e. a live in studio. Cruising around the city you see so many places that look like they are run down and boarded up that would be awesome and are just going to waste - does anyone know how to find out who owns such places and has anyone ever been in a situation where they have maybe talked to people that owned a place like that and worked out a deal to live there? I just think there are so many cool places that a going to waste that I think it would be in the owners best interest to have someone in there at least maintaining the place kinda thing. Also a shoutout if anyone does know any cheap studio setups/warehouse spaces that are livable i.e. have amenities let me know Also cool shots if anyone has of places they have lived especially real unusual places (I was talking to my mate about this the other day and he was telling me how his mate rented a place in Surry Hills and to get to it he had to go through a bank and to the top of the building where he rented a studio that was like the old elevator cable shed and his bed was right underneath these old unusued like 3 tonne elevator pulleys- kinda cool I thought) so if anyone has cool pics of living places chuck em up too.

    Clarity required URGENTLY

    Cheers guys, all of the advice has been really helpful. Anyone done soupkitchens/volunteering and stuff in Sydney perchance - before I do my own research?

    Clarity required URGENTLY

    True, true, I do definitely feel that too and used to get out bush a fair bit when I lived back in the country - maybe that's what I need? Sometimes I feel I want to escape society but now I'm thinking I just need to change societies kinda think i.e. places like 3rd world countries where the focus is on relationships and surviving instead of what car you drive and the clothes you wear, and people who rely on the land instead of just take it for granted.

    Clarity required URGENTLY

    Hey so I think this is the right place for this? So just to warn you if you have unsuspectingly stumbled on this post that be prepared for a rant. I don't really know what exactly I am going to be saying and I guess that's the problem. So mainly I am just confused about life and possibly maybe scared like worried about finding contentedness. I would like to think of myself as being strong willed, determined and when I put my mind to something; can make it happen and I guess it's through those traits that I have always felt confident in the fact that whatever I do in life I will be successful at it....what happened to make that disappear recently? I guess the fact is that I am 'becoming my own person' i.e. I moved out of home (country) around three years ago after finishing school to continue studies (city), have recently turned vegan and have started to develop my own kind of opinions on things instead of assuming my parent's. I am very passionate about things if I believe in them and feel I have a strong set of principles that I gauge both people and life by. I am goal orientated and always saw myself as having the dream home, a collection of cars, a financially stable position blah blah blah. Recently my goals have all changed and I think it is because of my design studies and I have felt a huge sadness at how materialistic people have become at such an expense to the environment, I feel myself sickened at times by societies ignorance and self appreciation etc. I guess my main clarity is required in regards to what I want to do in life, I thought I wanted to be a designer and have moved on to wanting to be an artist mean whilst I still want to achieve so many other personal goals i.e. start a family, yet ultimately I want to leave my mark in history and do something that will be remembered (slightly egotistic but mmmm). In addition to those personal goals and urges I have a MASSIVE urge to go somewhere and help people especially in 3rd world countries by building infrastructure, relationships helping set up orphanages, looking after sick people etc... I guess I feel like I have to pick one or the other in a way and if I pick say like starting a family I cant really do the other humanitarian things I want to do. If I was to go the humanitarian way - how would I get started, i.e. what do I have to offer? I really would like to help people .....just forgot what I was saying....I guess after typing this out if I was to go do the humanitarian thing there is ways I could do the other things i.e. start a family overseas, and my other personal goals could be achieved from over there i.e. write a book etc mmmmmm I'm confused and if anyone reads this I'm sure they will be too ha ha Anyone have links or experiences starting orphanages or doing work overseas or nationally?
