moggy commented on Sealander's group Southern Seed Exchange"Hanna, pretty sure it is buckthorn as I have seen berries on similar plants, though not those particular ones as I only went there the once. Where it is growing is exceptionally exposed which is why it is more compact that normal. It is down near…"
moggy commented on Sealander's group Southern Seed Exchange"It think this is the stuff, badly wind beaten, which is not surprising given to where it is. If we were still living at the last house, could have got some easily for you, but without a quad bike it is a bit inaccessible."
moggy replied to Teeli's discussion Help! Birds are getting my elderberries! in the group Food Growing Q&A"If the birds are eating it, it means the fruit is ripe, so get out there and pick it. The only other alternative is to cover it with netting if it is small enough."
moggy replied to Mariana's discussion Growing licorice from seed in the group Herbs"I wish I had realised the fragrant garden stocked it, I was there twice this winter buying loads of trees in their half price sale. (their plants are really good quality btw)
You have made me really happy that I didn't buy those five seeds."
moggy replied to Mariana's discussion Growing licorice from seed in the group Herbs"I haven't mainly because I have not found a seed supply except for someone selling 5 seeds for a stupid price on trademe and I refused to pay that as I had heard that germination rate is not good.
Where did you get your seeds from?"
moggy replied to Teeli's discussion Where can I get elderberry trees? in the group Food Growing Q&A"Don't worry about frosts, they are native to Northern Europe which gets very sever winters"
moggy commented on Hester's group New Zealand Seed and Plant Exchange"Silja I am in Otaki, I was trying to give them away at the community expo today (saturday). I still have loads left if you want them."
moggy replied to Mariana's discussion Imagine if we grew a vast public Food Forest like this in Christchurch... in the group Christchurch Permaculture Group"It is roughly what we are doing here, when we came up with the idea, it didn't have a fancy name, it just seemed like a good way to go about things. It still involves a lot of work to maintain and in our case until the plants are big enough to…"
Kali left a comment for moggy"Hello Moggy, I grow walking onions which I think might be the same thing as tree onions the bulbils are only starting to form now. I could send you some in a couple of months."
moggy commented on Hester's group New Zealand Seed and Plant Exchange"I am after tree onion bulbils if anyone has any."
moggy commented on Hester's group New Zealand Seed and Plant Exchange"if you mean English nettles rather than the native one, I have them. They are best propagated from root cuttings in the same way as you would mind. Would be interested in yacon, but happy to send you some without"

Michal Moore said… - Hey Moggy,
I lost your e-mail, sorry, if you still want some vine cuttings, email me on col_mic@hotmail.com the vine (grape vine) looks dry with no leaves, I am still learning about gardening.... Happy to give you my phone number, but prefer to do so via email.
Again sorry for the delay....

Hanna said… Hi Moggy, thanks for letting me know about this site. Martin and I could come by in the weekend if that works for you to shoot some chickens (this still sounds awful!). I could bring the sitar and any shrubs I manage to uplift before then.

- HI Moggy, I have heard that if you put an upturned pot with scrunched up newspaper in it earwigs will go there to sleep in the daytime, and you can then dispose of them. perhaps worth a try.

Hester said… - Hi Moggy. If you post your question about earwigs on the group 'Food Growing Questions and Answers' you might get a better response. Hope this helps.
