    It's like how long is a piece of string? You won't grow out acacias in a season that's for sure, need a bit of dedication...Yes you will...

    Stubborn\ Acacias

    Actually that can't be old seed, and doing alright You wouldn't call them dormant yet rereading that...lol If the don't rot, they have a chance. Some seed lots come up around the same time, others can be staggered over time (seed quality probably) . That shows up larger sowings. If you get a heap of native tubestock tubes down the track PM me I can send a heap of both. If you want a mini forest. Florabunda has the potential to be invasive in Bush settings, which is worth a consider if that's the type of area your aiming to grow them out.

    That's a sort of example trundles. I'm not up on mascons as such though other than they are identified significant gravity differences. My understanding is mascons are a different material (eg rock type) of a different density, with enough mass to have an influence on the moons gravity. That's the theory until someone drills into them They are some sort of geological structure, and geological structures can have influence on gravity,not always. Gravity surveys are very common, at its most basic it's based on densities of materials (mass is involved, need enough mass to influence ) Resources and geohazards are often identified using geophysical methods,including gravity and it's identified differences. Often mated with magnetics (metallic minerals) to give a better "picture" of what cannot be observed beneath one's feet. I'm no physicist (thankfully) so that's pretty brutal. Mining companies are flying and driving about conducting surveys to find and exploit resources continually as an example. Constant in that form is jargon.... Not an "English"/dictionary sense, and where folk come unstuck and take it literal. "fckn magnets, how do they work? " Insane Clown Posse

    Stubborn\ Acacias

    The seed source may be old? (would have to be Very old though) I've had no issues with those using only hot water and spring/autumn planting. I avoid summer plantings for my location with acacias , I'm certainly at peak summer now. I get less acacia germination in summers peak, seed is a living entity it's "aware" of its environment it wants to survive. If it's hot, generally it's drier and that's tougher on seedlings in "the wild". There's an optimum range of Temps for a given seed, can germinate outside of it.... But stronger within it. Try putting the pots in the shade, if they've been out in the sun, or wait for some cooler weather for further sowing. Edit - when I've previously done summer plantings, I've had germination through into the cooling season. Acacias are generally long lived in soil seed store in the "wild" and germinate when it's going to provide the best chance of survival.

    Will this get through?

    The legal statement is interesting... But does cover the - if a country has it as illegal then its illegal,after an argument it's not.... Lol

    The law of gravity(newtons) is referring to "universality" rather than "gravitational constant"..... " constant " is used in attempts to mathematically work with. It's an approximate.. Geophysics rather than theoretical is a good place to try to get some handle on gravity differences. Yep there are... And there is practical usage. Just before that gets mashed up again.

    I don't want to upset or battle you @curaezipiridand honestly I didn't read all that....There no doubt your invested I haven't pigeon holed you.... But you are helping. I don't want you booted, but you better be prepared to defend your baseless claims. I'd love to point out the flaws, but it's gunna upset you further and I'm not tapping essays. 50%.... I've got better things to do than addressing your misinfo, yes.... Yes it is....misinfo Homeopathy is a sham. Edit - and now I've done you the the courtesy of reading your rant in full, you are delusional to think that link re Cuba has ANY merit.
  12. Anything the MB can do you can get done in a slow cooker There's also glycerine tinctures (cold and hot). Dont need anything fancy for cold glycerine or alcohol tinctures, or working with oils like coconut. There usually is an optimum stage of growth for best results in obtaining a target. So quality of material affects yield. If you go down the route of distilling you will need to know the target range of temperature of the desired fraction(s) you want. I'll presume you'll be interested in mostly "essential oils" which is less targeted, but still to be considered to avoid pulling anything undesirable. Are you chasing fat or water-soluble things is a good starting question with any material? This will put you onto the path of the better approaches. Propane may be an option for heat for you,works for me on a few jobs. Portable hotplates are not too power hungry though(there's other ways, did I mention slow cooker) ,and sometimes flame is a BIG no-no. Can also reflux. A soxhlet or "coldfinger" may suit certain targets. You can ghetto a reflux setup There's also macerated oils, may be worthy of a look and starting point of play. And vinegars. A few thoughts.

    I ain't t stopping you in believing in rituals... But I am not going to see this place used as a platform. Particularly when you twisted the topic (again) to your agenda. Lol.. You gotta know how it works for it to work nowYou are good on the spin mate. Put the evidence up, not twisted stuff. Your attempt to make it sound like the WHO supports it... typical of those making a dollar out of it. Evidence..... It's why it failed Edit - I am also known to pitbull Antivaxx fallacies... You may be able to pigeon hole me now That's also bullshit that there are "homeopathic vaccines".... There is no immunology at play with homeopathic preparations...the basis of vaccination as a major health breakthrough. And re Cuba https://apgaylard.wordpress.com/2010/08/08/much-ado-about-nothing/

    There's no conspiracy against homeopathy gaining scientific credentials... It's because there is no scientific evidence of any effectiveness. I'm gonna add that it's also unethical in the modern medical sense as it discourages clinically proven effective treatments. That's some strong woo to support the woo

    Fruit fly incursion Tasmania

    Dont import fruit, meth or skunkOur winter climate currently should kill them off.... For now...Still doesn't stop this incursion losing some markets Be aware there are changes afoot though, there is some relevance to the new act that's getting moved on..There be dragons. http://dpipwe.tas.gov.au/biosecurity-tasmania/about-biosecurity-tasmania/biosecurity-legislation-review/draft-biosecurity-bill/draft-biosecurity-bill-information-package Edit - in a nutshell seeds will need to be permitted in the future... "please sir can I import (x) seeds. You dont need permission now to order trichocereus seeds from EG in Germany as an example right now. They are legal and currently not prohibited at national or state level. You legally cannot import seeds that are Prohibited listed ( or illegal in other Acts) . But you didn't need to be permitted to order non-prohibited seed. You got no problem. The onus is gonna change, that changes the game for Tassie folk that work with plants.

    ^ he was found to supply the homemade Armour piercing bullets to the shooter. Not the only one and had a fair few clients, was a little backyard cash earner for him. They've laid the charges in line with supply,and none of any conspiracy. I imagine though there a heap of folk about to get some visits though....
