    Seed banks to down under

    This for the news. Pity though. I found out yesterday its not Customs that stop the import, its the Dept of Biosecurity on the basis of introducing "noxious weeds" into our Oz environment. My mate ended up with an empty packet n a nasty letter from them.

    Seed banks to down under

    Sorry, but ILGM have told me twice that they won't ship to Oz. They told me they lose to many to Customs. This is odd considering the possession if seeds is not illegal here. Perhaps Customs also token?

    Seed banks to down under

    ILGM won't ship to Oz. I asked why. They reckon Customs intercept too many. I've used WeedSeed Express out of Amsterdam & Spain. With one exception, all arrived successfully. WSX replaced that lost one. It was during the height of COVID. Its an expensive option but always use Express Post. They...

    Hydrogen Peroxide for Aphids

    The oil used in White Oil is the same light paraffin oil used on foodstuffs such as apples. The withholding period is 24 hours and can be used on vegies etc. The plant that got the aphids on it was runt seed whose origin I can't recall. It really was a runt! I was lucky to get it out of the grow...

    Hydrogen Peroxide for Aphids

    Full dilution instructions are on the bottle. The other alternative is Neem Oil. But I had WO left from my last lot of aphids in my vegie garden. Neem Oil is safe to use. Hydrogen Peroxide may burn the plants.

    Unreliable Products

    I don't live in the USA but I've had the same experience buying cheap crap from China. I was fortunate to have paid via PayPal. They investigated my complaint and my money was refunded. They also banned the Chinese seller from using PayPal. Lessons learned? Use PayPal and don't buy Chinese...

    Third pic down looks like powdery mildew. The penultimate pic from the end has a curly trail on the leaf that looks like leaf miner bug.

    Not all ladybugs are good. Google Asian Beetle. They look like the good ones but there is a big difference. Those in the pic look like Asian Beetle.

    Keep or toss Blue Dream autos...

    After 60 years of gardening vegetables and flowers, taught by my old Grandad, forget watering meters and electronic gizmos. Just stick yer finger in the soil up to the 2nd or third knuckle. If your finger comes out with damp dirt stuck to it then you're doing fine with the watering. But if your...

    War

    This says all we need to know about Putin and his "worst agent ever", Donald Trump. This pair would kiss The Devil's arse to gain more power. Trump cares nothing for America and Putin cares nothing for Russia. It's just power at whatever price it takes. The pair should get married if only it...
