I've been pretty slack in updates. But some things are going well. Some things are not. All the big kratky tomatoes ran out of nutrient and died. Was tempted to refill but at this point I'd rather just focus on going again with something else. I think maybe if it was just one tomato. I may have...

Hmm. It might be worth playing with then. I never thought of sunflowers being like corn LOL. But it's interesting. My tried growing corn in that same bed and they kinda got to a size and petered out. I hope I've amended the bed enough to sustain the royal velvets.

LOL, all this talk about honey makes me feel bad about not getting some from the local beekeeper. I've never really been big into honey. I don't know why. Never really eat breakfast. About the only time I'm big into honey is when it's honey chicken; then we're talking! I have a feeling the...

Oh you remind me of my time in catholic schools. I was such a brat there LOL. I'd be in detention all the time, hanging out with the principal and trying to steal her chocolates. I remember I was never meant to do the holy communion but the principal kept pointing and ushering and before I knew...

Yeah I think that may be wiser in the end. I love the rails and how convenient they are. I've got so many that I need to start putting them together. One is just a 4m long 90mm pipe with 60mm holes cut into it but the other I bought off gumtree for 20 bucks. Pipes are a bit smaller and the holes...

That really sucks but looks like you've had way more experience than me. I know how to clone tomatoes pretty good but I think for some of the hardwood cloning I know clonex sell a seperate product that's made for hardwood cuttings. Maybe for things like Rosemary. I must say. Slowgrowing things...

I try to put in enough for the life of the plant. I always get worried about getting too close to 2.0ec because I'm usually dropping seedlings in. Like I'd be happy with 1.6 even. Also it's pretty cool that you are cloning your mango. I did that with a lisbon lemon and used aloe as rooting...

Ugh, doubt it. Thanks anyways though!

Well today has been sucky. Lost my keys, gonna cost around 500 to replace I think. Just got my dog back from dental surgery that was 750. Leaking like a siv. The only bright side to today was a little bit of rain. Oh, neighbors dog got out again and attacked Lacy. She's okay, just traumatized...

I did naughta today even though it was my watering day. I know the neighbor will be gunning to dob me in the moment I try watering. Ugh I feel bad but I will read peoples posts to get caught up but yeah. Only thing to really remark is the size of the kratky tomatoes.

On the subject of corn. I have found a new way I like to cook them. I get the cobs from the store with the husk on and then microwave them for 3 mins and bang, it's steamy and ready to go. I suppose I could quickly panfry it after but my big thing is making a sauce that's more interesting than...

That looks really nice! When I went to Virginia I was treated to Kanpai and it was very eye opening. Great food and loved taking back a big chunk of it to mung on the next day. I suppose if I ventured into Northbridge I might be able to find a similar restaurant but traversing the CBD triggers...

I was going to quote your cutter post as well but I am still getting my head around these forums. Powercutter they have these at bunnings for 89. Looks like it would save me playing around with razors. I once tried using a craft knife with it extended on something too tough for it and broke it...

I gotta look up your old pics and see if you have that little cutoff saw because unfortunately I didn't see ozito with one. Yeah I couldn't imagine cutting cardboard with big scissors, that would hurt my hands big time. Mine cramp up on the hot days if I don't drink water and like I can't...

I have to see if Ozito make one of those little machines. I also want one of those cut-off types that look like tiny grinders but have a saw blade. I was just cutting strips of cardboard last night and thought about how dangerous it was using a craft knife. It was annoying and a bit of a chore...

Yeah. I wanted to sleep so badly today but got to the feeding of everything. Not a whole lot of photos but I did like the fact that the Kalanchoe is still flowering and the sunflowers are really rocking. Well the Royal Velvets anyway. Not sure what happened to the other two types. I keep...

Once again trying to summon the energy to feed the beds today with some fish hydrolysate but paralyzed by laziness. Oh I picked up the rest of those drums. You know with the bungs in the bottom they could all be used as bato buckets but I'd have to cover/paint them. How do you folks go about...

The best things about those kind of places here they are cheaper. I flirt with the idea of living the hobby farm life in a place less populated but wonder how I'd go eventually with the loneliness of it. Animals take care of that I guess. Is it bad I thought I posted this reply last night...

Maybe it's time to move to the states where the land is at least affordable. My cousin came over lamenting to me how unless he gets into a relationship, his idea of living somewhere remotely nice is slim. All I can say to them is that at least they don't have a brother that shoots from behind...

Deary me I'm not looking forward to the day I have to move out of this place and live under the thumb of my brother who indulges in amphetamines just a little too much. And while my brother is a bit of an asshole, I think even he as a craftsman would appreciate this work. Is that non slip or...
