Re: Anyone do Compost Heating?
I do. I have a 6x8 harbor freight greenhouse. I put 1/2 inch XPS insulation panels on the north wall and have 80 watts of Christmas lights up. I am in zone 6a. I also have a 40 ish gallon drum compost tumbler and 6-10 inches of decaying logs and mulch on the floor. There isn't a smell at all once yo...

Polination brush suggestions
What type of paintbrush is best for polination? I am assuming fine hairs but does something bushy or compact work better?

Can I still get seeds anywhere this late in the year?
I ordered from mesa and made a few mistakes and lost most of my seedlings and would like to again but I don't know who I can still order from. (Ideally a little cheaper) I am looking for eriocyse spp. copiapoa spp. Astrophytum caput-medusae gymnocalcium spp. lophophora spp. (Are seeds a problem to r...

Re: Lophophora sp. in the US
Wow you got whole plants through customs? I'm assuming seeds would be no problem then, seems to be a lot of central and Eastern European suppliers.

Re: Mesa garden seedlist up
Bummer I ordered within an hour of the list being up and only 50% the seeds I ordered were in stock. I can't believe they ran out of golden barrel seeds within 60 minutes. I don't want to be too critical since it seems like the new owners walked into a confusing mess of stock and records. Was it lik...

Re: Lophophora sp. in the US
AFAIK only California bans the entire genus. Federal law only prohibits L. williamsii but with the current taxonomic ambiguity of the genus (only diffusa and williamsii are acknowledged) it is really difficult to know if something marketed as fricii, or decipiens, or koehresii is ok. Although P. som...

Lophophora sp. in the US
I find lophophoras to be some of the most aesthetically pleasing species but am concerned about cultivation of even non-williamsii species in the US. I particularly like Alberto vojtechii (so cute!) but you cant get those seeds domestically. I have only heard of two three arrests in the US within th...
