    I fired up my aeroponics system for some selected seedlings a week ago and soon remembered that you need to check the solution level after a few died yesterday!!! But those that have now survived are coming along nicely. I might assemble a second unit as well as aeroponics seems to be great for...

    Did the Bishop's Crown plants i gave you make it? Mine were heavy producers of pods and still have a bunch right now. Might need to take a walk through the winter garden and see if there are any interesting plants i am not yet growing. My grow table is already becoming too small! I will probably...

    The guys who made the video on Youtube of "Nigel" the huge Dorset Naga, also have videos of them using bubble wrap ont he greenhouses and show the fitting of it. They were using special clips to attach the bubble wrap to the greenhouse. This would seem to be the way to go...   These are the...

    Bubble wrap seems to work pretty well and is easily available. I might need to go that way as well as temperatures are dropping quickly now and judging by the amount of frost i saw on my trip out in the Waikato yesterday, we are in for a chilly winter!

    Hey Antz,   I know how you feel. Remember what i went through last year....i almost gave up a few times after all that time, effort and money. Most of my plants were nailed as well. I am starting again this year a lot wiser. i have not seen that Yates product before but it has wettable sulphur...

      The worst problems we have here are not in the soil though....psyllids,mites and aphids are all on the leaves or flying around. Leaving the soil will not end the bug issues.....

    I have found a similar version in the past but this one is even better! Now if only we could find a chart that would tell us what we could spray on the plants to keep all bugs away forever!

        My experiments with the Kratky method of non circulating hydroponics worked quite well on the plants that the bugs did not destroy. Once this 7 Pot Madballz Brown plant was changed to a 10L bucket with an air stone it became a monster!     Many of these have now also been "retired" but i...

    Yeah...that's how i handle them as well. That being said, my early start to the new season which i began back in December, all but two plants have psyllid yellows and effectively have stopped growing. These new seedlings i am going to watch like a bloody hawk! I will turn that grow room into a...

      After last year's nightmare with bugs I am super careful this year. It started with fungas gnats which were a pain the ass, but not too damaging. Then the aphids came and caused trouble...nailed them. Then the psyllids arrived and I did not realise what they were until it was too late. They...

    [/URL]">http://     New grow table is coming along nicely. Still have two full heated propagators with Jiffy pellets waiting to pop and go under the lights. Have to get the greenhouse built up again in the back yard to rescue all the outside plants before the frosts hit us.

    No problem. As long as you have what you wanting to grow this year.   Has anyone asked Judy at Pepperlover about shipping seeds with a phyto-sanitary certificate so we can look at a group buy? She has some interesting new seeds for 2015 that i would like to try out. I have not had luck getting...

    Kiwi Grow Off - Heaviest weight of pods off a single plant

    Kiwi Grow Off - Heaviest weight of pods off a single plant

      I see you have been busy since i have been gone ! I have converted a large trestle table to a grow table in one of my down stairs rooms. I have a bunch of new seeds that have popped and are now in my large grow box which will be moved to heat mats on the trestle table. I am also putting...
