If you have no luck with your fruit tree cuttings, I recommend the looking out for the Tree Crops Association Grafting Workshop run in Hamilton over the winter - people bring an amazing range of heritage pip fruit scion wood to share.

I understand the Hamilton Permaculture Trust are planning a DIY Dehydrator workshop in Tamahere on the 26th May - give them a ring if you're interested.

Hi Jordon, did you find a dehydrator.  I have an old k-tel one.  Add me as a friend and message me if you are interested.

Oh also does anyone have any urenika seed I could have? Even one would do to get me started.

Hi all, I am after fruit tree cuttings. I especially would like to get a freyburg apple. Anyone have trees that need pruning? I will be doing some eating grape cuttings as soon as the leaves have all dropped, let me know if you want some.

Hi Sue

 Re organic garden design, you could try Clare at Green Footprint

www.greenfootprint.co.nz/.  Alternatively if Permaculture is your thing,  the Hamilton Permaculture Trust runs a design certificate and should be able to put you in touch with graduates, see http://hamiltonpermaculture.org.nz/ 

They are based in the Environment Centre, upstairs at 25 Ward St, Hamilton City, which is worth a visit in its own right.

Anyone got a Dehydrator they DO NOT want? I am after one, and i am happy to pay for one too! Just not the 200 they want from Briscoes....i want to start dehydrating my veges so i can store them easily for use in winter.

Jude has given very good instruction, re saving pumpkin seeds. Im not sure i could add anything! :D

Hi Jeff, welcome to the Hamilton group. With pumpkin seed, it is really easy for pumpkins to cross with any others around (other pumpkin, squash, butternut, etc), so unless you know your seed is from a particular sort that grew in isolation, your seeds may not grow true to type. But that said, I like the sound of yours - dry and lots of flavour (I hate those watery ones), so I'd be keen to try them. With saving the seed, let the pumpkins mature for a while after picking, then select seed from the best pumpkin(s) and from the middle of the cavity. You can put the seed in water for a couple of days, stir it when you think of it and then rub the fleshy stuff off, then dry then. Or just dry them. Have fun!

Thanks for the help with rennet, much appreciated!  I've also discovered that Over the Moon cheese school in Putararu does mail order...  Cheers.
