oops have I inadvertently trolled? good luck to him though. I mean if he can actually sell at that price, well...

errr, TBM on ebay. man I ripped myself off

gloves are good but they don't stop all the spines. I wrap the cactus in crumpled newspaper, packing more around stems/joins, then wrap more newspaper and into the box. copped a big splinter in the finger last time about 8mm. That was painful. I use a towel to move the big cactus around, especially usefull when they weigh a few kilo's

Glad the bogan made it over to you Eluna. I pack them the way I want to recieve them oh and if anyone knows how to reduce the amount of spiking incidents while handling cactus let me know.

Licence to grow hops.... never heard of that before.

ballzac, the colder over winter the better, well maybe if it get down to -20'c then you might have a problem. hops like cold winters and hot summers. The derwent valley where they grow them down here gets very heavy frosts during the winter and over the summer its hot and dry. They produce pretty much ALL of australias hops. oh and the bines die back every year. cut the stems off at or above ground, if there are some shoots cut just above them. psylo. thats very odd 3rd year it should be producing bags loads of flowers. the ones for sale here produced about 2 shopping bags full season past. It won't do much harm to dig them up to have a look at them to see if there is no rot. if your mates area doesn't get too cold put them in the fridge over winter. Dug

Just for you E.G. The two big ones are more like trunks than rhizomes. they have fat roots that are full of starchy goodness, (don't taste of anything though). big goldings little goldings, you can see the shoots near the roots. You can plant a very small section,(10cm), and still get a plant. mind you bigger the cutting the bigger the plant and more hops you'll get. Coloumbus

I've just pulled out some 3 year old hop rhizomes. One very big goldings and one smaller piece, (only about a meter), And big coloumbus. I harvested around 1 1/2 shopping bags of hops off each bine only a month or so ago. Asking $35 for the big golding, $30 for the coloumbus and $10 for the small goldings. I can post photos if anyone is interested.

Added more plants

Its been ages since I've been on the forum and well things are changing so I need to clear out a few cactus. All have been in pots for a few years now so they might be a bit root bound. Some of these plants are quite big and heavy, (those fat bogans ), so postage will be expensive, well maybe not it was only $16.40 for one of the big bogans. They will all be sent with clean bare roots, and I will take my care when packing them so the side shoots don't break off. Any questions just ask. I will add more cactus when I get a chance to.
