BlueWren has flown back!  Great to see so many folk still here from years ago.Hi Bobbee!

Sorry – haven’t pmd you yet.I’m sure you’ll need to be an indoor starter – warmth then seems to be key, although the trees grow OK here in the South Burnett, but most of the SB is not as cold as canberra.Garden Len on here had a lot of success with seeds I sent him.

Will get back to you.You can keep your starter in the frig for a long time without feeding it, then make a secondary starter with some of it.Will get back with fuller info.Gotta go now , or Gotta zip as kevin Rudd would say ……….

Hallo Outabox! First things first – a warm welcome to ALS! I guess you found us Googling moringa??

An amazing tree for sure.I do have some seeds but they are last year’s I think, and they are not reputed to have long viability. I will contact the lady on whose property they are growing to see if she has any newer ones.

I have been away for…[Read more]

What!!! No smilies!!

Hi HT!

Girl Friday……..she’s bright! She has a good home and she doesn’t want to leave it!!

This is not the “normal” time to plant/grow rosellas as they usually like hot weather – around here we plant them in September.But having said that we had too much “hot” and way too much “wet” and my rosellas have only even started to look hopeful in the last few weeks – so I guess anything is possible! Go for it – and good luck!

I was just wondering how the numbers are getting there!

Might be a Swedish breed.Interesting article anyway.Might just be a silkie?

“The researchers also studied other chicken breeds where fibromelanosis occurs, including the Bohuslän-Dals svarthöna breed (Image 2) from Sweden, and they found that all fibromelanotic breeds c…[Read more]

Welcome Mulch-me As well as aking your questions would you like to enlarge on your “brew” please , and your cane bale system, and where the chooks will fit in later? Sounds as though you are well on your way!

Len our climate is probably on a par with yours.My asparagus is still a verdant green too! It will probably did back later to a brown dry stem and leaves. I have read to cut the dead stalks below ground level, as you do to harvest the spears .

Mine was from seedlings and I am waiting for another year before harvesting any – that will make three…[Read more]

Just trying……no, no emoticons!

DAAAAAAAAAN? HELP?

Thankyou Bullseye. Excellent information.I feel the heat, and I really do think it has been even more unpleasant in the last few years, especially this last summer.

FL – that recipe does say ” specifically for dishwashing machines” , not hand washing, which may be what hatter is after?

Welcome to ALS hatter! :wave:

Try “s _ _ _ ” for the bought stuff!! 🙂

I’m wondering if they are fruit on potato plants?? Bit of a wild guess though.

Yes it is …..except that in some places the doggy-do bags are yellow and people tie them to the leash to be handy.Some people are going to be wondering why other dog owners give them and their dog a wide berth if they don’t know about the project!

I dare say there are all different coloured doggy-do bags out there.

Oh my! Hope you don’t have damage as well as being wet,Trandto.We are expecting some heavy falls again up here in QLD too , starting tomorrow.Last time we had over 300mm in 24 hours here, but we’re very spoilt as our sloping property drains perfectly and will never flood.

Might just be different veg in our kimchi to Pam’s – seems you can include any veg you like.Not chilli – ginger.

I’d better boil up those sus sausages my daughter brought me to go with the sauer kraut ……..I don’t think DH will be excited about either…. :laugh:

Fruit,Nut and Seed Ferment

Ikg of dried fruit (eg 750 gm pitted dates, cut in…[Read more]

Thanks everyone , keep it coming.Great site Humbug.

I’ll investigate the thingy from Bunnings and ask some questions on the Kumbucha Mama site at the link I gave.I am receiving her free ebook – very informative.

Callie – plenty of fruit and nut ferment left – drop in sometime.The Kimchi we made certainly has a bite to it – a bit too much chilli maybe?
