I was looking around my garden today and found I have an excess of certain veggies through the year. I am not sure if anyone in the Toowoomba area might be interested in maybe trading some veg when it comes into season. Currently I have an excess of Kael and lemon grass as well as a few herbs. If anyone is interested I am happy to trade for other veg you may have. Let me know

Hey Stoners For those who have followed my grows for the last two seasons, you will know I put a fair bit of time and work in my garden. Spring before last (2014) I had to justify my time in the garden which I did by creating my pool jungle garden. It has flourished and has now developed to the point where I've been able to get an understory of some of my favourite fragrant plants... Gardenia, ginger, daphne, lilius, cestrum nocturnum, lonicera fragrantissima, trachelospermum (chinese star jasmine), heliotrope cherry pie to name a few. There is only one plant from my old garden that survived the pool installation and that was the lonicera. Everything else ha…

Thought I'd share these and get pics of the green house tomorrow. Got some strawberries from Bunnings, soil was crap and they were not producing so I repotted them in to my own soil mix and got rid of gnats they seem to have. Put them in a tent with a 130w veg CFL and a 24w 5600k CFL. Had about 8 so far - very juicy and sweet. just water and a guano feed every now and then. They seem happy Also kicked off veggies in the small seahawk tent - took 3-4 days for these to pop - meant to take a week. they are in a 50/50 soil \coco mix, sitting on a heat tray with 4 x 24w T5 purple fluoros CabbageBaby CumberCherry tomatoes BroccoliCauliflowerCapsicumBasil which is …

Does anyone know what these beetles are? Never seen them before, but this year they have been swarming by the hundreds, probably thousands to mate. Especially noticeable flying around in the rays of the morning sun, during the day they seem to hide on the shadowy sides of trees and crawl indoors to hide from the sun. They're literally EVERYWHERE, clumped together. Found a few on my plant but they seem to have no interest in eating it, thankfully! Edit: Nevermind, I found them. I should have googled first They're called 'Plague Soldier Beetles' aka Chauliognathus lugubris.

Looking into an indoor vege patch. Have started up a variety of herbs, once they establish, I'll pot them up and start on the vege's. Capsicum, cucumber, tomatoes, carrots, leeks, onions and strawberries. There's a couple of others, as well as some flowers, that I'm also gonna have a crack at. Does any body else use their hydro set up for plants other than cannabis? I just did some research into Co2, and produce. They have found that increased levels of Co2 can reduce the nutritional value of food crops, and also increase the level of cyanide compounds, a natural defense against herbivores, in some plants. Wondering what the increase in levels is doing to Cannabis?

Hey Stoners, I grabbed a picture of another diamond python so figured may as well kick off specific diamond python thread as these pythons are probably one of the most common ones found along the New South Wales coast and bush lands, this little guy is only roughly 50cm (20in) long being just a baby (they can grow up to 3 metres (10ft) in length) he got himself stuck trying to get through some wire after a feed. They are more of a nocturnal snake however it's too dark to be releasing snakes so he'll have to wait till the morning. Diamond pythons are non-venomous and harmless if you don't go hassling them (pretty much as with any snake non-venomous or not) and if you have …

So I'm renting a house and it had this really annoying bamboo plant. Along the back fence it keep putting runners out along the lawn and rats would hide in there. So I got sick of it got the real estate to fix the problem. So they sprayed it and that's it, it died quickly but its looking ugly as and bamboo leaves falling off. So I told my wife I'm gonna make a veggie garden. So I looked on gumtree for bricks, sleepers or something I could use. So I got around 200+ bricks from around the corner for free, I was quiet lucky as when I picked them upthey said they had a lot of people calling and enquiring about it. But I got them home in the back of my little astina hatchbac…
