No not guilty

They take a couple of years to get over the disturbance of being moved I found and I have moved mine a few times .

Theres an Ae ae on ebay up for grabs from a Hawaiian seller that has told me in the past that she will ship to the UK 8) Just thought I'd let you know :wink: :oops: sorry forgot to add the link :lol: Seems too small to ship and also survive at that size.I see it's described as 16' high but the pic ...

This does kinda reinforce what i have read about gro light tubes in the past. It also shows how much light is lost for little distance. As i dont have access to a light meter i have no idea how many lumens the envirolites will put out but more importantly it will be the right spectrum. This can bes...

Hi Nbd, It was moi that bought the heating cables of ebay :lol: I connected one end of the cable to the live terminal and tge other to the neutral with a waterproof junction box nice and easy :) Just make sure when you plug it in that its protected by an RCD,very important that or you could go Bang...

I have a heated cable but mine was from jungles. And its wired into a thermostat to control the heat.

If its not me then Ignore all the above

Not sure which Mark ,I assumed there was only one,all I know was it was bought on Ebay by a Mark

I remember reading Mark's post about the heating cables he bought on Ebay,well I also bought some and if he's reading this hopefully he'll let me know how the ends were joined to the power cable.The cable is one complete circle unlike the usual heating cable that is one simple strand.I have tried so...

NBD , Don't rub the very end part of the probe just the silver stem. Mines a cheapo as Don calls it. Tenax £10.99 DSCF0594.JPG DSCF0595.JPG DSCF0596.JPG Thanks for the info Mark,one small problem I have already wiped with a green scourer ,the tip, not the silver bit,hopefully it won't matter too mu...

Good point Dave, most of the cheapo probes require a quick rub with a fine sandpaper before use to remove oxidation. Ndb what plants are you trying to grow that require a very low pH (acidity) :?: Anything below pH 7 is acidic and should do for any acid loving plant I have ever come across. Don I'm...

I have two sensors one by rapistest and the other one by someone else,they both read Irish moss spagnum peat as 6.5 nearly 7 ericaseous soil by Waverley garden centre is about the same also their farmyard manure mixture.Surely I can't have two duff sensors,they are both the rod type .Not aware of th...

NBD , I didnt read your post very well sorry :oops: I thought you mean growing in pots not open ground . My dad planted rhodys in his garden and kept loseing them due to the Ericaceous compost he had mounded up around them had leached out all of the nutrients that the plant needs it had probably ta...

NBD its a secret :lol: I use Levingtons ericaceous 56 ltrs@£2.99 and that comes in around 5.5-6.0. Its mainly used for the varigated Bananas but I do pot the others in it too. Small shredded bark will also help reduce the Ph as will pine needles. I think sulpher does too but i have never tried it. ...

I saw a post a while ago from Mark I think, saying his plant had to have acic soil and am wondering how he got this.The supposed acid soil sold in bags for azaleas rhododendrons etc test out at 6.5 -7 which is hardly acidic.I have tried rotted pine leaves ,they are supposed to be acidic but seem to ...

Now you have contacted them you will have to go the legit route :cry: You will have no excuse if you smuggle and get caught :lol: It just looks like another way of this countrys systems on taxing you for having fun. It is making the importing of plants too expensive for the man on the street. And n...
