What is this common Sydney weed?
planthelper replied to tedzr's question in Plant Identification (non-cactus)
let's not forget that this was a very important plant, because motor oil was pressed out of the seeds. anyway, it gave Castrol motor oil it's name! the plant was widely cultivated, and because of this, is now is a wide spread weed. -
suddenly (it's the right time of the year), jumped up and cleaned a spot in the vegie patch (where the soil is super deep and friable), and planted radish. radish, sprinkle salt, and a beer, oh yeah! <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_wub.png re seed in 14 day's intervals. you people made me do it, hehehe. <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png

in the subtropics, many vegies grow better over the cold season. if we talk, small space, and maximum return, I would go for herb plants or salad type plants which you eat raw. rocket, is my fav backyard veg, than all basils, parsley, everything green, you can eat raw. I think it's paramount to eat a little bit of ultra fresh greens everyday. I believe, some health giving compounds in vegies, decay extremely fast, say within 30 min....after picking. for a small space, it's more about flavour, than producing.

The good vibes generator
planthelper replied to Bert&Ernie's topic in Creativity, Spirituality & Philosophy
3 groups, 1 knows they get vibed, via replies, 2 knows get vibed, but no posting about sending vibes takes place, 3 this group doesn't know they get vibed at all, this group should not even know they are part of the trial. other parameters, to make this scientific, is to get concensus, about the time and period a vibe is sent. I mean the vibe sending ought to be concentrated, say for a duration of 3hours, and let's hope that say 20 senders, would not all send there vibes at the same time, but spread out, by coincidence over 3h. anyway, this trial needs serious ground work before going ahead, as we would like it, as scientific as possible. -
native sedative, bat's wing coral tree
planthelper replied to planthelper's topic in Australian Native Plants
good bush tucker plant on the way home, native hibiscus, good nibble young shoots. btw, I can speak street... no coin bro. -
give it more time, and make sure you give the medium some, wet and dry cycles, or even fluctuating temperature.

I like freak as well, very much, it expresses exactly, how I feel, and how I worship woman. thx for subscribing, yes you are right, others did say the same thing, once I sing the accent almost disappears, I don't know how or why, hehehe. I don't think, I got very good hands for playing, most people could play much better, than me. in short, for example, I can't do the Vulcan greeting, and people who can do it right away, have more flexible fingers, and as such can play much better. me too, I love 12 string, such a full sound.my guitar, on top would need some repair work, the strings are quite a distance, from the neck, at least at the higher frets, which makes it hard to play. 36 years.you know, I don't like country and western, but in one of my local pubs, they play often c&w, and I noticed that, it is quite therapeutic and a feel good music. so, I wrotte your face (which is not finished yet, maybe never will)in a country and western style, hehehe. I suffer from mental pain on and off, all my life, but when I play, I get a break of the pain.

native sedative, bat's wing coral tree
planthelper replied to planthelper's topic in Australian Native Plants
I have spent a long time here at sab, that's why, hehehe. and on top, I always walk, with my eyes very open, the first time I noticed this tree, was by accident, as I was looking for gold in a gully, and noticed this strange leaves!! just found a good link, say's regarding the bark, "Inhibition of platelet aggregation Serotonin release inhibition" http://cdn.intechopen.com/pdfs/32951/InTech-A_phytochemical_and_ethnopharmacological_review_of_the_genus_erythrina.pdf as well, always use the duke! if you forget, google the term, duke phytochemical, and click plants! http://sun.ars-grin.gov:8080/npgspub/xsql/duke/listsp.xsql duke has no listing for vespertilio, but has listed other coral trees. http://sun.ars-grin.gov:8080/npgspub/xsql/duke/findsp.xsql?letter=erythrina+&p_request=Go&amt=sc -

I went for a long walk today, and spotted an abundance of various sidas on the track, some of them native to Australia. many of the images one can find on the internet, regarding sida, are wrongly id'ed, so hopefully we can get it right. i hope people who know more than me, will make sure, all id's are correct. convolute photo of sida leaves i collected today: i am currently only sure to correctly indentify two of them. from the left, 1st leaf sida subsicata, 2nd sida cordifolia. from the left (sorry for the shrivelled up leaves) 1st, sida cordifolia 2nd, sida rhombifolia (?) 3rd, currently unknown 4th, sida subspicata 5th, sida acuta (?) 6th, currently unknown 1, sida subspicata, queensland hemp, a native Australian sida. 2, sida cordifolia, a non native sida. please note that, for example this, herbarium specimen of a rhombifolia, displays many small, non rhombic leaves, which means, my number 6 (wooden backround, could be as well a rhombifolia. http://www2.southeastern.edu/Academics/Faculty/rickmiller/NativePlantsImages/PlantImages/Sida%20rhombifolia.jpg sida acuta, http://www.google.com.au/imgres?q=sida+acuta&sa=X&biw=1097&bih=546&tbm=isch&tbnid=B75I2VNgWCNFJM:&imgrefurl=http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sida_acuta_Blanco2.366-original.png&docid=e3oB1kKaWl5jaM&imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0e/Sida_acuta_Blanco2.366-original.png&w=1404&h=2070&ei=78aVUfjqL8TzlAWz_YHACg&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:16,s:0,i:143&iact=rc&dur=1970&page=2&tbnh=175&tbnw=119&start=9&ndsp=15&tx=68.4285888671875&ty=95.85716247558594 worx in progress!

hi! I went for a long walk today, and spotted this tree, to my great delight, which is said to have been used, by the aboriginal people, as a sedative! I am looking forward, to do some research with this plant! something like, traditional vs modern extraction. for the traditional method, I have in mind to use: water, the part of a native palm which, protects the flowers (as a vessel), fire, stones, and the herb of this coral tree.

wau, I never saw it like that, but this is surly amazing to think of. plants are amazing, I wonder how the plants actual do this, even more so a seedling. osmotic force is a strong force, and chemic speaking, the seedling would have to be more salty than the soil, but I am speculating, that it is not. so how does the plant do this? it must have a trick up it's sleeve. everything humans invented and found out, they copied from nature, now the dark ages continue, where plants are made forbidden for most of us to enjoy... layman, are excluded from researching plants, but the gods in white, are still allowed to work with illegal plants, what a hypocrisy!

all of us agree, that if you recycle potting mix, one adds fresh components, to keep up the good properties of the mix. in case you recycle a medium, made mainly, out of coarse river sand, this means, you probably have to add, compost, worm castings or some rich soil. if the medium was, mostly wood chips, one probably has to add, more coarse river sand, perlite or fresh wood chips to give it proper drainage again. if the potting mix has turned into, something like wet and sticky compost, than i apply this material, like a top dressing to the pots. the idea being that, it's soggy, water holding properties, will not be harmful, if just sprinkled a bit on the top. but the same soil would be harmful, if it's placed at the bottom of a pot, and as such, causes soggy conditions, and as well, might even totally block the drainage holes.

i find my beards are getting itchy as well, after a while, and for this reason, i shave it all off again, after various periodes of time, however a 5 day stubble, i don't find itchy at all. long and full beards i find the most itching, those ones where one has to stop eating soup, or be willing to have the soup running out of your beard, up to 15min after eating... i often shave only once a week or so, just because i am lazy, but now you gave me a good reason for doing so, hehehe. one can also use the stubble beard to get her to do a Brazilian, like if you don't shave, why should i?

I would as well go for the tying up method, as I did hurt myself, touching the sharp and thin aluminium. anyway, pushing the alu label as deep into the soil, so it's lower than the rim of the pot, also avoids this, tiny health risk. I like this method, and one could maybe as well, feed strips of aluminium into a label maker (my hand writing is yuk).

maybe 3 times, first time was myself, closed beach storm surf, but I entered the water. 5m and taller waves, extremely strong rip. got dunked underneath the water, many times, not even enough time coming up to the surface, to take a big breath before, it went down and deep again. once I realised, that I will probably die, having swallowed heaps of water already, by than hypothermia, had set in, total calmness overcame me, I was calm, because I accepted my own death. this calmness, might have saved me, because suddenly my brain and body, worked on an elevated level. the inner voice guided me, what to do. I survived because after a long time, a monster tidal wave arrived which I managed to surf to the shore. so far out, normally no waves break... when I caught the wave, I knew, if I get wiped out, I will surly die, because I had hardly any strength left. this was the biggest wave I ever surfed, and it was easily a 6m wave or more. once the shore came closer and I realised, I would not die, ecstasy overcame me, the wave carried me all the way into the car park. I have never recovered from this experience. but I continued surfing, and years later, a person get's in trouble in a rip at Alexandra bay (no life guards). one person already came to the persons rescue, but I saw, he would not succeed with a rescue, so I swam out as well. we took the guy between us, and the other rescue person, started swimming towards the shore. I told him to stop this, and only swim towards the shore, once a wave did hit us. I knew we had to conserve our energy, and only swim if, if there was a chance to utilize an in coming wave, to get us close to the shore. we managed in good time to get him onto the shore, and I just ran off right away home, and did not give the person the chance to say thanks. number 3 abused codeine tablets and the paracetamol had fucked his liver, first time I met him, I said there is something wrong with you, probably the liver, he had his liver checked and it was fucked, thank god the pain clinic gave him pure codeine for a while and he made a reasonable good recovery. maybe I could have died another time as well, and at that occasion, tobacco addiction saved my life, (i'm not smoking anymore now) I was inside a cave, digging a tunnel, to remove fossils, and during the time I had my cigarette break the tunnel collapsed.
