    nice :) ive really only gotten into natives recently, since I planted my block with various acacias, and been looking for drought and frost hardy, bird attracting natives with different colour flowers.

    Have sown many varietys of grevillia, kunzia, banksia, euc, proteas (I know not native but dang they cool) and hakeas. im hoping to plant out most, as well as bonsai one of each :)

    from what I remember of my sitcho, if I didn't take on the work for the dole, my payment was to be cut completely. I think I got an extra 30 buks a fortnight to do it. It actually was a blessing, it got me out of the self inflicted rut I was in, and got me out of the house talking to people, in a work like environment. I got a job (which I left to be a garbage man- best job I ever had, however the hospital gave me a glowing reference which helped land a few jobs after that.

    I got a job out of the work for the dole program doing hospital sanitisation. (basically steralising med equipment..scary really) this was back in the mid 90's. its actually gave me a break from the copious amounts of weed I was smoking and selling. I can see method in the madness. I think if your receivbing newstart, and able to work, contributing back to the society that supports aint that bad of an idea. I like the idea of work for the dole actually being about assisting people in need, hospital work, meals on wheels etc

    Hello, wondering if any members are succesful germinating these babies? I have read conflicting info, in that you can scarify seed for faster and better germ with smoked water or smoked vermiculite. Grevs are pretty hit and miss and can take up to 8 months to germ? I treated my grevs with boiling water overnight and my banksia seed with bong water.. Does this sound okay? What could I be doing better or am i overthinking things and they will do fine just binged straight into the growing medium? Many thanks in advance!

    Now I'm collecting all my bong head associates bong water to use on my grevillea and banksia seed. I'm trialling a soak in bongwater before planting, and watering in with bong water after sowing. Smoked water is all the go with these babies apparently, and apparently bong water is smoked water :) either way rad place U have there mate, how many acres ??

    8 girls cruising down the street on pushies under the age of 12 telling all and sundry that they are the "Bible Crushers" is doing my freakin head in :) they are becoming quite infamous, maybe I'm a terrible parent but this is funny as fuck.

    Wiping a tear of pride from my eye when I walk up to my daughter and nieces who are losing their shit, to discover upon interrogation, that they have left a treasure map in the neighbourhood boy-gangs cubby house, which leads to a buried toblerone packet containing a mix of dog and kangaroo shit. They have also set up a pushbike gang called the "Bible Crushers" in opposition to my nephews L plate motorcycle gang "Christ Punchers".

    Hillbilly can pretty much build anything better than most tradies. He's a freak. I'm employing him to build my greenhouse, cacti house and shadehouse and im betting his shits all over any qualified tradies.

    im sending a 200mg dried sample to analyse, I advised they don't come, as it is montanum, which they now agree isn't dubvoisa- they still keen to analyse the montanum, and anything else I find could be of interest alk wise that I can grow.

    the two guys I spoke to where really cool and quite forthcoming.- awesome farming co always interested in making a buck :) good peeps to be on the friendly with.

    info ive learned... myoporoides are at alk peak during summer

    are worth $9 a kg dried commercially

    every man and his dog is doing it and the arse will fall out of the market in 5 yrs or so.

    myoporoides is around 1% at best scopolamine alk, and no longer used commercially, its the myoporoidesxleichardtii hybvrid that produces around 3%. apparently highest alks which is used commercially are produced Kingaroy qld area.

    I gotta look into scopolamine containing plants that thrive on my land.
