Re: USB bug zapper to kill fungus gnats

Yes, very effective systemic insecticide, they are trying to ban the main ingredient, Imidacloprid, here in Australia. They say it gets carried up to the flowers where the bees cart it off to their...

Re: USB bug zapper to kill fungus gnats

If they are fungus gnats and you are looking for 100% control, you can't go past a biological pesticide known as Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, or BT (i) for short.
I have this same problem with...

Re: Musa Ice Cream Blue Java grow and taste report

All my so called Blue Java's need strong supports and are tall plants.
Have plenty of pics, just haven't worked out how to upload.

Re: Musa Ice Cream Blue Java grow and taste report

I thought I read somewhere that there is a blue free Blue Java?
Otherwise what might the cultivar be? Quite tall, very loose crumbly peel, light in weight with an odd, bulky shape.

There's a name...

Re: Forcing K. Namwa to grow faster

Re: Newbie from Adelaide, South Australia

Welcome to the bunch, Dvivian, can you import from NSW? If so, I can help with Rajapuri and Senorita (I know as Chuoi Cau).

Re: Looking for Gros michele in Australia

Yes, sorry, my last statement could have been misleading.
I was referring to Namwah as what we know as Ducasse here in Australia.
GM is rarely mentioned, but I'd like to change all that.

Re: Looking for Gros michele in Australia

It's known as Ducasse in Australia. I'm keen to try a Dwarf Duccasse I recently acquired from a forum member.

Re: New guy

Brod, those plants appear identical to the pics I sent you. I was told they were Chinese dwarf plantains. Someone might be able to clear it up for me once and for all?
