Thigmotropism is a plant response to touch, such as vine tendrils wrapping around things. But it is till in the aim of support to chase light. Plants are more sensitive than humans to touch.. Response to sound no idea, but have seen some response to music that have amazed me.

Step 1 - survive Step 2 - recover many do not get through step 1..... you are a survivor, piccies tell me that. This gave me flashbacks, my thoughts are for you recovery brother. Best Regards WB

A good way to maintain heat overnight in a greenhouse is with sealed containers/drums of water. Painting them to absorb heat during the day helps a lot. Mission brown actually absorbs and radiates heat better than black

Planting depth appears to be the key, deeper gets a better saffron spice yield and shallower planting produces more daughter corms. http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=saffron%20cultivation%20growing&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CFoQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.boobookhill.com%2FKiwi%2520Saffron.pdf&ei=yAeKT_LJAejvmAWo4fTjCQ&usg=AFQjCNHIIwbiupQfCLEglTBwBz5Wmt72jw&cad=rja

Thanks Volle, coupla ideas there, and rumple yep the very expensive spice. At this stage the spice is secondary to really producing as many corms as I can. Trying to work out the best way to push them in this direction, presuming nutrient manipulation. Had considered deflowering to concentrate energy on foliage/corm growth. I am looking for any ideas like the "forcing" of bulbs such as tulips (however this is to grow out of natural season). Cheers WB

Redfin Vs Trout, goes back to the merry old mother country. Even today fishing for redfin in the U.K. is called 'coarse fishing' and for trout "sport fishing. Fishing snobery at best. Redfins an excellent fish to introduce kids to fishing.

Know nothing of catfish, but carp can be eaten and actually relished by some groups. I have had smoked carp that was kinda ok. It is good to catch feral animals in our water that are environmental disasters. Its even better to use them as a resource, make good plant fertlisers.

Its all good Arsea, it is a free space to speak. Just puttting my experince and perspective on it. your logic in kinda good if you live in a climate that is suitable. That I understand from the indigenous people of this Island that I spend a bit of time with. Psylo - the soft plastics you but now are biodegradable, however some things can be worse once degraded by just becoming smaller particles. I cannot vouch for how sound they are environmentally, but can reduce the harvesting of bait in areas under pressure.

FISHING

Soft plastics can be good Psylo, you need braided line for them and a good graphite rod generally to get the most of their action you impart on them as a lure.

This is not a personal attack, call it a rant.... Arsea you are entitled to your view, but for the record. I consider people that drink piss and hunt others to assault the most cruel recreational past time. My legacy of being skilled and enjoyment of fishing come from two angles, let me explain. Some may have never been in the position of growing up so bloody poor that you actually have to hunter/gather to survive. I understand it some cannot actually comprehend that in Australia, but its more common than you think. I grew up that fucken poor, I could nearly cry about it now. I am lucky now educated and have employment, but I still fish - why? I like to supplement my families diet with sustainably harvested fish, locally, not imported from half way around the world in tins, not from Asia in waters that will cause the accumulation of who knows what in your system. I harvest what is required, and catch and release any beyond that. Catch and release is not always possible, and if not that fish is considered harvest and will given to another. It can be cruel if it taken with that approach, being humane is also a skill that is learnt from skilled fisherfolk. It is also how I commune with nature, religion if some may call it that. Also as an addition the beast such as photographed above I know catch and release for scientific research, and for the ultimate aim of the species. If it wasn't for those that know how to catch them, a skill nearly lost, we would know fuck all about them. Figure that fishing actually helping threatened species. END RANT I am happy to chat to anyone about fishing, and particularly from the point that it is can be a healthy, family activity, that may save your arse if he shit goes down. WB
