    How far south do cubes occur?

    At least as far south as gerringong & kiama & berry. At least that was the case when I was younger.... But lots of those areas are now housing estates ;(

    ID help please

    The more I read the more confused I get! 2 diff plants showing similiar traits. Supposedly seed grown from a shamans gift 20 or so years ago . Marked as M1 when I got them. Also I am more confused on the cultivar Roseii. I think Roseii 1 has short spines & 2 has longer spines. But again I am getting more confused.... sorry the pics are sideways....

    Camping Battery/inverter question

    I set up a dual battery thing in my ute. Cost a little bit the battery was the most but well worth it. You can make it pretty simply or as complicated as you like depending on how much you want to spend. Made a solar panel pretty cheaply for day charger when we aren't driving. Chinese cells but basic soldering will suffice & a few odds & ends., The regulator was approx $120 but will never drain the main battery.,we run lights( again cheap Chinese strip led lighting), an iPod & speakers , watch the odd laptop thing & most importantly keep the fridge with cold beers going.... Lasts longer than I thought! Get a good battery or look into reconditioning old batteries...it's supposedly doable...

    Edible/Medicinal culture seeking thread

    Any requests for edible plates?. I need to reslant my collection over the next few weeks/months so I am happy to make up a few plates as well..... Can also do dowels for applicable species. Its time to check whats viable & whats not.... This will be an ongoing project so it may take me a a bit of time..... Ive just rejigged my work space & have a little bit of time ....(finally) Ive got a few varieties floating around. Mainly Pleutorious, ganodermas, shiitakes, Calocybes, Enoki, Hericium, etc etc. Original stock came from a trusted member & has been successful (generally) & viable. Apologies to those that didnt get viability. Hence the reculturing & cleaning up.... Pm me if interested or requests. I will see if I have it.... Happy to trade or whatever...

    yellow oysters produceing asexual spores

    Def mould. But in your breaking bad setup is that a rug on the floor?? If so burn that thing now! Are you sterilizing the plates long enough b4 use? & checked your flow hood? Try clean plates of agar, exposed to the flow& see what happens. Also what's your agar mix? That could be part of it.... Sometimes Having OCD helps with agar.,,,

    Melbourne cup sweeps

    Got to be in it
  15. Hillbilios- not sure that your last suggestion is going to work! Esp combined with DL's suggestion! Standing naked & getting lashed is going to tickle more than one fancy! If not mine then I am sure others! You would get repeat offenders ..... "Hi officer, I have on me xxxxx! Can I get my MDMA now? Please lash me! I would prefer you handcuff me first though...." The hard question to ask & depending on who asks it " is it harming anyone else" ??? That's very subjective! One persons poison is another's medicine! A recurring addict or problem child ain't going to blame the drugs etc but they may.its an easy out depending on circumstances! I think personal use is just that ( personal use)but that's a can of worms question! Nice question BTW

    NSW / East Coast Fires

    Yeah, interesting days ahead here! It's getting eerie.lets hope the back burn works! All ok at the moment. It's kinda strange trying to work out what you can fit in the car that can't be replaced or covered by insurance! Sounds a bit dramatic but getting prepared. They evac ed the road on the ridge next to us. Not sure who else is in the bluies but best of luck!!! In an aside note just wondering if any one local to the springwood/ Faulconbridge areawants to caretake a few plants& rare ish seedlings till this is over???? That might be over drama rising but thinking of options.

    Announcing the Australian Ethnobotanical Society

    Don't give up Bogfrog! They are awesome! Upside, I like yours too!! Any one else got some logo ideas?
  20. http://m.smh.com.au/nsw/teen-plunges-to-his-death-after-taking-drug-20130606-2nrpe.html Not the most trust worthy of news sources but at least they mention it may be synthetic LSD, as opposed to LSD. Whatever synthetic means!? in regards to LSD?! Poor kid. Edited due to poorly thought out topic!
  21. Was always my intention to delete this thread when I got a result. So it's looking like being on its way to being sorted so hence the edit! I know trading reps is where it should have been So if a mod wants to delete this thread please do so. Thanks for your time.
  22. Hi Iam looking to buy/trade native psychotrias: P.daphnoides P.simmondsiana & maybe P. loniceroides. Also after a Neiosperma poweri (milkbush). Described in Australian native plants by Wrigley & Fagg as' containing useful foilage'. Whatever that is! I cant find much info on any of these plants so if any one knows I would muchly appreciate it. Can trade the good ol $ or have a variety cacti seedling varieties etc. Thanks
  23. So what can I do about someone who vanishes from the forums with my $? Not much I guess! You know who you are! I have tried to contact you but there ain't much forthcoming. Don't trust everyone.. Even if they had a good trading rep! Welcome to the Corroboree.... I must say I have many good dealings with the people here in general but it doesn't take much to spoil my insulated beliefs. Buyers be aware!! I will apologize in due course when & if things are made good.
  24. So I have some excess ginseng seed to sell or trade. Prefer trades but not cacti! A few packs available up to 50 seeds in each. You need to see if your locale environment, suits this though. I have struggled with growing it. Pm if interested The seeds are currently being cold stratified so they will need more time in the fridge or whatever.
  25. Might be a better thread in sustainable though...But it is a bush food. Maybe we need a receipe thread for all things bush food style? I hear Echinda is the best aussie meat. Just got to get rid of those spines. A pair of pliers, some boiling water but only applicable to a freshly seen road kill! I awesume its completely illegal though.....waste not want not ;) Snake aint so bad cooked on a fire! Roo also. Just make sure its fresh & check for worms.... Any one tried making this? Lilly pilly jam that is! As they aint great on there own I was thinking of making a jam from them. Lots of fruits at the moment & I hate seeing stuff go to waste.. Guess the sugar would make it sweeten up & make it more palatable. What about Pectin? Heard somewhere that Passionfruit can be used for this ? Any receipes that people have tried from our aussie natives? How about bread or some such thing that passes as bread from Lomandra? including wattle seeds?? Any others?
