I was recently forwarded a link for an interesting concept, basically taking the community garden to a new level. http://www.landshareaustralia.com.au/about/ I'm thinking of joining as I have a bit of land. What does everyone else think?

Electric fry pan full of sand :P Not the answer you're looking for but it's free if you got a spare one and a thermometer.

As far as I'm aware, there isn't too much difference between potting mix and seed raising mix except for the coarseness of the mix. Potting mix might have extended release nutes that seed raising mix might not but depends on who makes it I guess. You could try sifting your putting mix with a...

While looking at errrrm, 'other' plant forums, a lot of people warn of using untested tents. Some tents are built with better materials than others. That is, some tents use materials that off gas and kill your plants. Even reputable tent makers were stung by this problem after discovering their...

Maybe for you. Worth a watch - http://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles.html

After seeing the test results of what was in the water in the Brisbane floods - I would even think about eating them.

Bitter sweet news for local producers I guess.

Screw you related previous topic, this one is way more informative :P Everyone interested in the science of food, this book is a must - Molecular Gastronomy: Exploring the Science of Flavor ISBN - 978-0231133128

Hi, I currently work in IT, mainly infrastructure but I'm getting a little dubious of the future of IT in say 10 years time. So, I'm looking to go to uni for two reasons, change of career and to move to a more physically active job. I'm hoping someone can give my their thoughts on some courses...

One of my overwinters doesn't understand overwintering. That's one damn small Douglah.

I know there's bonsai but that is ridiculous. :P

;-)

You say that but I set my heat mat (read: electric fry pan full of sand) too high and the pellets were 41c. I had a germination explosion, just about everything in that lot sprouted in about 3 days. The biggest problem I have with heat is during fruiting.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Pepper has over 200 active compounds which attribute to the taste. The compounds break down very quickly. This is why freshly cracked pepper is no comparison to pre-ground pepper. (also, cbf reading the whole post so sorry if someone already mentioned this :P )

I find megadosing vit c works. Be careful, you might fail your kidneys if you do it wrong.

Since when do people take offense to the internet? Don't like it, move on. Pretty simple in my books. Anyway, wasn't this thread about a hot sauce that tried to kill a judge in a contest? Moving on :P

+1 on the natural light. You NEED natural light for food pics.

When you can't eat out anymore because nothing is hot enough and everything tastes like cardboard.

I'm thinking two things - one is inconsistent soil moisture - I do it all the time, miss one watering and pods stop growing and just ripen. One of the reasons I'm never doing container growing again. The other, not sure what they're called, maybe a borer but these tiny black things that get in...
