so i have a question for you guys:

i've been using my kid's bathwater to water the container garden (it's the shortest haul from that bathroom) but he's had a bit of a rash the last couple days so i added some drops of tea tree oil to his bath yesterday.
do you think it'll be ok to use this water? (i used about 10 drops to 6 gal water)

i know tea tree oil is an indiscriminate killer; i don't want to disturb all my nice microbes but do you think 10 drops/6 gal would be strong enough to damage them?
well if you use non organic soaps then im sure it will effect the soil goodies but not any thing noticeable. id be more worried about the soaps you use in the tub rather then the tea tree oil, im not to familiar with tree oil but it sounds natural or organic.

either or though im sure the plants will be fine

we use soaps from a local artisan, i don't think they're "organic" per se (in the certified sense) but they're made "the old-fashioned way" so i'm not worried about that. (BIG anti-SLS family here)

tea tree oil is a powerful antiseptic/analgesic. it's used in a lot of "natural" zit and lice treatments, also in first aid. it's bad news for bad microbes, but like i said, it's indiscriminate.

i know it's not a big deal or anything, but ever since i started using his bathwater in the garden, simply pouring that 6 gal-ish down the drain seems wasteful now. there was the time he got a hold of the soap and the whole thing melted in the tub.... holy soft water batman. i didn't use that particular bath in the garden, lol.

My question is does it support interchangeable lenses?
Well you can buy any other canon lens and put it on, that is one thing about canons as I said before, they have built in image stabilisers in the lenses so that makes them pricey. When you say about interchangable, do you mean with other brands lenses?

And McP, sorry for the camera jack of the veg thread. I'll post some veg porn to make up for it, beautiful bountiful tomatoes busting out with natural goodness and voluptuous brocolli leaves with seductive colour to make any man (or lady) blush, lol.

Hey all... Sorry McPurple but I am just put some BS onto your thread. :D

Well I went out and bought the camera that I was looking at buying and a 8GB memory Card. It came to $697/ Here's a little taste of what I took with the battery that had a charge when I got it.

BEARDIES!!! soooo cuuuuute. nice shots too. #3 is a magazine cover right there.
Thanks. I want to buy a pure white one that I saw at the store but its not there. There was also a black and white one there to. I took almost 100 pics today just testing it out and I was finding new little things about the digital camera that i never thought would be doable with a camera. Deff a awsome buy. I'll have to get a better lens because I need a better one to take pics of things from farther away.

Here's a pic of what gold looks like before harvesting the flakes. :D

I wish. The guy next door to me does. I'd love to do some of it though. There's another guy that has 2 small gardens where he lives it looks very healthy.

Why were you thinking it was your birthday soon? Thanks. I deff need a better lens but my question is now what does '' mm '' meen?


Nice Beardie pics, Are they a breeding pair? are they sandfire x or a orange hybrid?
Thanks. No The 2 that are together can't be taken apart because they stop eating once they aren't in the same cage. The one that is on his own is a normal brown kind but he looks orange because he's in his basking site now the 2 that are together the bigger one is a regular brown one and the smaller one is an orange/brown colour.

mm is millimetres and the size of the lens. If you want something long distance I would advise 35-100mm range lens. Or you can go boss and go larger, but that would do most starters. And if you are thinking of taking big scenic shots you will need a tripod as it will amaze you how much you move when taking a picture. I haven't got either a larger lens or a tripod yet, been happy with the one that came with it so far.

Ok thanks. =) I might get a Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III USM lens when I decide to get a different lense but I'll have to see. I might save up to get the really big lens because there was fires around here and I wanted to take really good pics but I couldn't with my old camera.

Do they make a lens mainly for video shooting?

Here's a little more camera porn for you guys and gals

I have been trying to treat it, but it is really pissing me off. I am tempted to pull them out as soon as I get a few ripe fruit.
