And It’s not Australian, just regional, as I live in WA we can’t post or have other forms of garlic enter WA for disease and pest reasons. (Quarantine). But yeah I am one of the more prominent growers in the amateur category and do ok each year. cheers I understand. Big fish, little pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeastyBoy Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Onions M8, They grow like that south of Australia. Not worth growing so best left to the amateur's. We have no idea how to grow garlic. Lusty is right as always. The snakes down here spit C19 & the sharks pluck fisherman from their boats for lunch!! Just don't come here, promise me??

Raised beds There is somewhere on this thread I think some wicking beds... scoria in the bottom... so you get the water from below and is very water efficient... might be worth a thought... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in raised beds BB. Good for drainage however we don’t have an issue with drainage here on Bassendean sand flat. It is possibly the worst soil in the world for growing anything ha haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) What am I growing? Poorer! I have this uncanny knack of backing horses that either run second for the win or they run fourth if I'm on each way. Sheesh!!! Anyway here's a photo of some coriander. No big deal except my very shrewd daughter who needed some coriander for a recipe, instead of buying a bunch of cut coriander for $4 she bought a struggling seedling pot of it for the same price. She plucked what she needed and we planted the rest. The spring weather has given it a real boost. Edited September 19, 2020 by MUZZY 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good horse that one, won 4 group races. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashed Crabs Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Noice harvest, got some major action on all my chillies bushes. I think last year I got 50 - 400 chillies a bush, these things have nearly doubled in size. Expecting some good chillies this year again but struggled to give away Carolina reapers and ghost peppers last year but got a new bunch of people to inflict them on . New project is to learn how to extract the capiscan extract to learn how to make it hotter still. These sprays that are 10x hotter then the actual chilly are insane!! Hopefully I can get close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillies in oil for cooking... and maybe Chillies in Vodka/Schapps pure spirit - for addition to drinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
