CβL Posted December 19, 2012 What the hell man! I wonder if this works for cacti... http://www.theseedwarehouse.co.nz/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=1200 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigred Posted December 19, 2012 basily it is a bag filled with coco and perlite you can make your own preety easily just make sure the plastic will not let any light through Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qualia Posted December 19, 2012 cacti have fairly strong stems, they'd just curl up toward the light. but maybe that's ok for you? (i'm more of a traditionalist). good for plants with weak stems like tomatoes/cucumber etc. though i'd imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CβL Posted December 19, 2012 I'm not really planning on using it - I just did not consider growing plants like that before. How do you start with it? Presumably you have it dirt-side up, and put the plant in, and "lock it in" or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowfella Posted December 19, 2012 Seen photos of that done with Mammillaria spinosissima, although that was planted out the bottom of a regular terracotta pot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qualia Posted December 26, 2012 basily it is a bag filled with coco and perlite you can make your own preety easily just make sure the plastic will not let any light through so something like a weed mat you reckon? it'll let water through and i guess not much light? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halcyon Daze Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) They're shit, my mum had one lol. If you've grown herbs in containers B4 you'll know that the bigger the container is, the better your plant will grow. Those things just aren't big enough to get good results. Also a clay soil is better in containers than that crappy organic based potting mix which dries out too fast and holds little nutrient. While it would be possible to get a healthy plant, you'd have to give it perfect conditions and carefully monitor the nutrients and water etc and basically you'd end up with a hydroponic tasting tomato that looks OK but tastes nothing like one from the garden. Don't be fooled by the delightful picture -It's a gimmick through and through, they don't grow anything like tomato plants should grow. If you want hanging herbs grow them in a very big hanging pot or basket which really isn't all that practical IMO. That's a nice loph by the way Edited December 26, 2012 by Halcyon Daze 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigred Posted December 27, 2012 so something like a weed mat you reckon? it'll let water through and i guess not much light? weed mating will work but it will heat up as it is black i used a old tylek paint suit, they work great for smaller varieties of tomato like cherry tomatoes and mint and strawberry's work also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bert&Ernie Posted December 28, 2012 weed mating will work but it will heat up as it is black i used a old tylek paint suit, they work great for smaller varieties of tomato like cherry tomatoes and mint and strawberry's work also what about this type of wee mat? Coir Weed Mats or JUTE WEED MATS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigred Posted December 28, 2012 the coir would do the trick but the main point is as long as it breaths and lets moister pass through it should be fine the best way to find out is to give it a go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert&Ernie Posted December 28, 2012 Maybe if you put a bit of weed mat then the coir mat around the outside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigred Posted December 28, 2012 coir will definitely be the best as it breath's and eventually break's down into lovely humus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogfrog Posted December 28, 2012 I was just sitting out the front of my house before working on a scrimshaw, when i heard this really loud buzzing. I looked up and at the end of my street was the biggest swarm of wasps i have ever seen. They filled an area about 4 metres wide and 3 metres deep. It fucking terrified me! I grabbed my kitty then ran inside and shut all the windows. By the time i went back to the window they were gone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazonian Posted January 4, 2013 I have seen a few people thread bacon rind through their nose, and out their mouth, and then move the rind around as if shinning shoes...back and forth. True ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
