    Meet up: Sydney, Central Coast, Newcastle

    Defqon will most likely be called something else if qdance decide to put on an event this year. Its very questionable.... & will poss not be in Penrith from what i presently know. but who knows! I know the organisers well & have built stages for it for the past 5 years. Weve been building giant robots in their warehouse for vivid in sydney. If you go to vivid make sure you check out Darling harbour.... Its going to look pretty good. Robots mining trash & turning it into new life......

    Meet up: Melbourne

    Sweet, look forward to seeing some of you all on Saturday!
  6. Is, say, town or tap water detrimental to mushrooms growing? in home or outdoors cultivation? Any research or personal experience out there would be appreciated. Chlorine kills lotsa stuff so does it affect mushroom spore? I think chlorine evaporates reasonably quickly, but its uses have been wide & varied through out the last century or so.... Say if there was an outdoor patch down the road & someone started hosing/irrigating with town water would this have some effect on what was potentially once growing there? Say if someone was trying to expand some mycelium would the chlorine in town water have any negative effects? I read somewhere that by letting water stand at room temp for a certain amount of time the chlorine evaporates & am sure that rainwater is far superior, Fresh rain being most superior, ( personally cant control that one though) then tank water but what about town water?? Come to think about it this query might suit another forum or 2 but shall post here for now. Thanks

    Wollemi pines

    I have some seeds for sale or trade. Say 4 lots to go.... There will be a fair few seeds per pkt. Anyone interested? I'm more looking for edible fruits & bush food & that kinda thing. Picked yesterday off my trees.... Ive never grown this tree from seed so good luck! I'd be interested to see how they go.... The trees the seeds came from are approx 10 yrs old & beautiful! 2nd year of fruiting.

    mimosa from finke river

    Hey all. I collected a bunch of mimosa seed from Finke River NT a month or 2 back. Still viable.... Im looking to trade approx 40g of seeds for some other seeds or a cutting. Be aware these can become weedy if not managed properly & grown in the right climate.
