Woo hoo, Len! 🙂

We had a dozen or so people through our place.

They were all pretty interested and we had some good conversations!

Nev

works for me! :laugh:

fair enough!

Interesting, but does make you wonder how accurate the numbers are………

Nev

I’m a bumhole (does that count?)

Hey Mukluk,

I think it probablydid save a bit of water. The pots I used had a pretty slow throughput and if you are making your own pots I think it gives you better flexibility of design. Anyway it is worth a bit of experimentation!

I’m not big on slimy or gritty in stuff I am going to eat…….

Nev 🙂

The thing to be aware of is that using soap seems to make things slippery, particularly glassware and crockery, just the stuff you wnat to drop 😉

I haven’t tried that formal though, maybe the vinegar would counteract the slipperyness of the soap…..

Here is my go at clay pot irrigation. You have much more control if you are making the pots. I nned to update this with a couple of later photos!

Hi Guys,

I have yet to find a climbing bean that we like, something about the flavour. One year I even grew a crop of “Lazy Wife” beans on the insistence of Mrs Wombat! But still no go…..

Nev

Hey Guys,

Nah, don’t miss the travelling, I must be getting old :laugh:

But yeah, still alive and kicking – it’s all good! 🙂

Nev

Non grafted passionfruit is a great idea!

We have a grafted one growing along the back deck and the rootstock has made a determined event to toss us out of the house 3 times already :laugh:

Nev

Hey Mate!

Have you thought of the Alternative Technology Association? They may have a branch in your area…….

Just a thought.

Hey Ms Bumhug,

Not much, wurkin’, websiting, the usual bits & pieces….

How bout you?

Is it all good in bumhug land?

Since I got retrenched a couple of years ago I don’t get down to your neck of the woods any longer 🙁

Nev

Hey Bumhug!

sorry mate, It’s not my thing!

where do you find seaweed you would be game to harvest? :sick:

Nev

Cool! :tup:

Nev

:hug: What everyone else said!

Hi Guys,

We have 5 asparagus crowns in a 1.2m square wicking bed bought as 2 yo crowns. This is their 3rd spring in that set up and the first year we have got edible size asparagus stalks ie size of little finger minimum.

Just re-read your initial post Len, bed is approx 30cm deep.
