hey all. just thought i'd point you towards this forum. https://www.aussieseedsaverscatalogue.net/ run from tassie - it is an excellent seed exchange/selling forum. to be involved fully costs you $5 - so you can post and sell some of your own seeds...but you can just read and buy seeds from others who have posted. the deal as always - the more people who know, the better the forum will be. check it out https://www.aussieseedsaverscatalogue.net/ cheers
the site looks pretty informative.... being a member of Seed Savers i have access to most of what will be offered on this site... yet offerings are only done twice a year, so this site would be handy for me if i want something now. It also allows for more detail about the seed you are collecting, which i like the idea of. As you say, the more ppl who know about this the better it will be. I know Seed Savers approve of the site, and the internet is changing the way information is passed around these days, so good luck to the creators of the site i say Cheers.... Dave
ah. excellent point dave. i should subsrcibe to seed savers - don't yet....so many orgs to support - strawbale aust. - permaculture international - the greens - anyway. like i said - for those of us new to this gamr - i think the hints and tips available on seed propogation and collection could be very worthwhile - it appears top be rather tassie focussed at the moment...which isn't too bad for me - considering central vic has a relatively similar climate! cheers
I place a heavy emphasise on raising my vegies by seed and improving my methods at doing so. I feel its the cheapest form of sustainability we can start with and definitely a very satisfying achievement when all goes well. Keeping certain strains alive is vital for bio-diversity and keeps us less reliant on commercial seed companies who only do themselves favours! Its also helped me establish a good relationship with my neighbours. Latest thing was swapping different varieties of Cosmos with the lady next door... she had purple and pink flowers where i only had orange..... now we all have both and it didnt cost us anything! .... gotta love that. cheers... Dave
and don't forget the addiction... it becomes a very obsessive activity - collecting so many different varieties - like footy cards when i was young...but again, far more sustainable than footy cards - especially the gum!
Link don't work? I don't know, but this link do not work here either! Shure tehre is something wrong with my computer..
just letting you know the link didn't work for me either... the site doesn't load - so its probably a problem at their end and hopefully can be fixed soon!
