You don't have to keep anything brief around here. We are building a collective record of experience and wisdom, and we also like light conversation. Communicate at will.

parts of, I'm in southern New South Wales, between the "snowy mountains"
and the coast, in the hinterland, on the top of a decomposing granite
hill (altitude 250 m.) temp 45 to -1 or 2 degrees celsius in winter,
lovely sun most of the time, even when looking at the snow in the
distance, it's meant to snow here every 7 years haven't seen it yet,
maybe this winter. At the moment I'm expecting floods down in the valley
some time in the next month, everything is totally saturated, and next
summer we'll all be trying to dodge fires from hell (even the oxygen in
the air burns now with the bigger fires), with all the re-growth from
these last two seasons, but I'm going off in a tangent, whatabout
potting mixes and culture? thanks alice
