    I didnt really know when we bought this place that the old owner had started to breed yabbies. They were endemic to the water course we live on. I built a solar solar air pump to help circulate the water and stop it settling to much in the ponds they live in. We're going for a land based...

    Nah I dont touch seasol. Our water is at 40-100ppm coming out of our springs that the yabbies live in....that gets used to water the hops with. The only thing that is depleted in the soil is nitrogen. That keeps dropping as the yabbies grow but the phosphorus climbs due to them processing the...

    Yay I like plant nerds....have you looked into Silica? we'll be testing next year :D although it raises PH so not much good unless you have scope for liming and were at about 5.5Ph so should be fine to have a play with!!!

    For a start. Ive had two rhizomes growing in a bucket of water for 5 months now, no air sitting in part sun.....So they defineatly like water ;) plus I got to see how the bines work the rhizomes will throw out shoots anything that goes down will pick up water for the rhizomes to bulk up. Each...

    Well its is about offering different things. Im in talks with some viticulturalists because rhizomes and they've been studied a great deal. There is a whole bunch of rhizomes here that all started out the same 30-40 years ago and have all completely changed genetics now just due to soil water...

    I got mostly crowns and its 95% failed. I dont really mind as Ill move the golding into that 200 plot 3.5m system later this year. I suspect they dwarfed due to sandstone not to deep under them. If plants roots hit rock they'll stunt if htey cant get the water and nutrients they are looking for...

    The whole point of cross breeding is to pool the genetics of two plants that is beneficial to a crop....not come up with a clone.....seriously.....STOP........

    Its not even hort 101...is like primary school 101.....Pollination is the first step in the process of sexual reproduction in plants. In pollination, a male pollen grain is transferred to the female part of a flower, germinates and fertilizes the ovule. All of these steps must occur for a seed...

    I doubt any small time breeder would be interested in growing anything BAR what they know is great unless its a cross of two already great varieties....see interesting fact....humans worked this stuff out by watching plants not the other way around. Plants do these things naturally....Corn as I...
