    The Evil K Cup

    I believe the K-Cup is the same as Aldi cups.  I have the Aldi machine and I reuse my pods.  I grind my own beans and fill the Cups.  Comes to about .12-16 cents per cup depending on coffee and special price, which happens every month here in my local supermarket.   I use the inner plastic parts...

    What are these on my Reapers and Chocolate Bhutlah's

    Interesting puzzle. Logs right? Solid turd logs. Like 8 pounds of apples would be a big pile but 8 pounds of bricks, aka logs, not so much volume and would fit into a 6 pound douchbag. V=mxL^2

    Habanero plant stunted and leaves curling up

      The Mancozeb Plus is the one with miticide so you will need that.  Here are some links for reference to what I use and they work.  I use them all because I rotate the usage for previously mentioned reasons ie: adaptability of the mites.  ...

    Habanero plant stunted and leaves curling up

    I have many issues where I grow. Fruit fly explosions, poor soil, birds, snails and bloody mites. It looks like mites to me. Took me a while to nail it. In fact, it took my microscope to nail it. Just like yours on the largest leaves, then the new growth would all curl up, crunchy looking...

    any tricks on how on get my pepper plants to set more?

    My set rate went up through the roof when I started to give the stems a 'vibrate' between my fingers when flowers open and full of pollen. Same deal as tomatoes to help them pollinate if you are lacking the bees etc. Sucks to be me because I also had fruit fly that season and was smashed with...

    fruit borers

    In my case of fruit fly, the feramone trap is 100% male fruit fly only. The paste I think is also just fruit fly, both male and female. It's more important to eradicate the males before they get their way with the females who then sting the fruit with babies.. If it kills normal flies and...

    I feel your PAIN. I lost recently over 45 ripe 7 pot chilis and about two dozen bhut jolokias to fruit fly. More accuratly I lost tthem a while before that as the fruit fly maggots do what you have there - eats it from inside out. I now have a fruiting and ripening 7 pot plants and a couple...

    Something is at my plants...

    First thing to do is check the underside of the leaves, all of them. That is where most nasties hide during the day. And really check as some caterpillars are so green you will overlook them. On second pic I am seeing some fine webbing! White oil them and go from there,

    Hello from QLD in OZ

    Gidday Mikey. Where on the Goldy are you living? I have to say the Gold Coast is one hell of a kick ass place to grow chillis! Chilli loves our sub-tropical goodness :) What are you growing mate?

    Weather from HELL!!

    The misters are great. You can grab then at Bunnings and they come with clips to attach. The ones I'm thinking of are made for clipping to a shade cloth or big patio umbrella circumference and attach to your hose tap. Reasonably water efficient and will mist perfectly for what you need...

    Tony's Super Hots....2011

    That sucks Tony. I snapped a branch off one of my Thai hots last season. I chopped off that branch a dozen cuttings, dipping each cutting in clonex and bunged them in a pot. 5 struck. Try it it may well work if you get them quickly.
