Tropical Vegetables and Other Edibles / Re: covid 19 and herbs ect
« on: July 03, 2020, 07:39:19 PM »
Right now they closed the small supermarket across the street where i live,for disinfection.
Somebody had covid 19 there.
In my city we had few cases and we got down to 0 right after i healed.
All was soo good due to the army and police enforcing the stay at home orders and wearing masks ,combined with the arrival of spring and trees flowering( pollen).
Now we have a lot more cases in my city,probably 500 without counting the soo called asimptomatics like me .
I think we should close again all restorants and travels ,reinforce the previous hard rules ,because it will be even worse .

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Cheaper pond heater?
« on: July 02, 2020, 02:56:17 PM »
20 per month isnt that much and you use it only in winter.I would keep it as it is.
I have a friend that pays 200 dollars a month just to keep the aquarium lights on.
You could use a heat pump( air conditioned used for heating- Daikin up to 400% efficient) to get up to 4 times more heat  for same wattage as the aquarium heater but the heat pump its too big and to costly for the size of your pond.

If its just 300 watts of heat needed,you coul simply buy a 2 meter long copper pipe and conect it to the heating boiler to make a soird of an small radiator to heat your pond.
Beware that copper harms aquatic invertebrates thogh so you will probably not be able to grow shrimps and crayfish.

Roundup its an option too but takes long time to take effect like 2 weeks or more.
Be carefull not to touch any green part of your trees with it.

Im not saying that plants dont have aminoacids.They have aminoacids but they dont have the ,,essential aminoacids,,.
Proteins break down to aminoacids,aminoacids break down to amines ( bad smelling substances) and from there you go on with the Nitrogen cycle where ultimately the Nitrogen goes back to the atmosphere as it is a gas.
Plant proteins contain all the otther aminoacids except the so called essential aminoacids.
Not all aminoacids are called essential.

By eating bio plants ,not treated ,they contain yeasts and the worms inside the fruits wich are a source of essential aminoacids (and B12 vitamin).
But a vegan that eats only ,,clean,, fruits with no worms,no yeasts,etc, will be lacking B12 and essential aminoacids.
Its one thing to be a vegan in India and eat algae like Spirulina( its not a plant) and organic grown fruit infested
 with worms ,and a totally different than be a vegan in Europe and eat only supermarket fruits .

Read more about nutrition in case you want to school otthers about it.Start with essential aminoacids,fructose ,or else i dont see a difference between a vegan or a priest/ pastor wich thinks ,,sea fruits,, are actually plants   :D ( im mad on these guys because they steal all the lobsters and shrimps when their fasting come).

Nobody said fruits are bad just im adressing to growers with big lands that can grow a lot more than what they can consume then if fruit is in excess they can make a lot of alcohol from it wich can potentially affect theemselves and their family.

I plant houndreds fruit trees and grow tropical fruit trees in the greenhouse,3 types of guava,feijoa,madras thorn,a few citrus ,cherimoya,garcinia,etc.

No living organism can use fructose on its own.
All life forms work on glucose.
Just google wikipedia or something about this and you will learn more.
Also google about the essential aminocids as those are in particular avoided( hated) by vegans.
You will learn more about nutrition.

Jabba the hut,plants dont have the ,,essential aminoacids,, .
These are found only in animal byproducts and in bacteria and algae.
Algae are not plants for the matter .
And talking about bad rotting smells ,the bad smell that comes from rotting meat ,its due to the essential aminoacids being turned into amines.
These amines are bad smelling substances with names like cadaverine,putrescine,etc.
Plant matter doesnt smells bad when it rots due to the fact that it doesnt contains these essential aminoacids.
This is just to inform you not to tell you or vegans what aminoacids you should eat .Its science and organic chemistry.
If you want to take essential aminoacids you can get them from algae but algae are not plants ,they are protists so its not vegan and when it rotts it smells exactly like meat.
As i said,i have raw vegans friends that eat only raw plants and i respect them even thogh i eat meat every day .
I dont open the can of worms about B12 vitamin thats not found in plants and how vegans will get to take it as injectable solution after a few years of being vegan.
Forum is about fruit turned to alcohol wich kills a quarter of the population of a country.

I have bottles of wine from 3 years ago when I am invited somewhere I walk with a bottle or two to share. Anybody want to invite me to dinner?
I hear the large tub beginning to boil... Yep, your gonna make one cannibal Very Happy....

Just kidding. But, since you dive, I like to invite people to go with me.... I'm always looking for something fresh for trolling.... Just kidding again... lol...

I haven't had a glass of my homemade wine in over 3 months... But I'm rapidly getting into a silly mood desirous of more silliness. By the way, I've eaten A LOT Of FRUIT TODAY.... Soooo let's see the Topic... AAAH::: Too much fruit harms society ?.............. Sure It's the Fruit's Fault.... lol.... It's the perfect reply for SeaWalnut....
Fructose from fruits its almost equal with alcohol and it damages the liver same way as alcohol.
If you feed a human or a kid mainly on sweet fruits it will get cirrhosis similar to cirrhosis from alcohol.
Fructose needs to be breaked down by the liver just like alcohol and we can only process 60 grams of fructose a day.

Eating a lot of sweet fruits can be as harmfull as drinking alcohol.
Its just science and if you do a basic google search about fructose ,youl see im right.
Sugar from supermarket bag its more healthy than fructose from fruit but we dont eat fruits especially for the fructose only.
If i fed my bees fructose they have a 9 days lifespan while from eating crystal sugar from a bag they can live up to 2 months.
At least if we grow fruits that in excess can damage the liver same way as alcohol,then alcohol i think its a better option .

The forum its not about trolling fruits but about being aware of the legacy you can leave to your family future generations by planting a lot of fruit trees( orchards).

For those wondering, problem with veganism is that you dont get the proper nutrients your body needs. its scientifically proven that your intelligence drops if you go vegan. You literally become an idiot. Thats just one of the downsides. It is indeed healthier to eat less meat and more plant products, but not 100% plant products. For example i'm mostly vegetarian, I eat mostly plant based meals. Most commonly rice and beans. But I still eat things such as eggs and certain dairy. And occasionally certain kinds of meats.

Hopefully you get it now.
I'm not vegan, but where is the scientific literature on this?

There are some things that can drop your IQ, but being a vegan isn’t one of them as long you someone gets all their essential amino acids. Blanket statements are almost always false.
Im not trolling veganism but a vegan cant get the essential aminoacids because those are found only in animal byproducts.
They are called essential but doesnt mean they really are essential just that humans cant break them down from plants.
To each on their own and i respect people choices.

Nice setup for cooling.
Id be carefull with that pipe from the barrel that passes near the GH in winter.It could freeze and crack if you get low winter temperatures.

They make alcohool from the fruits and 1 in 4 deaths are caused by alcohol there.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: What do you use to label plants?
« on: June 28, 2020, 08:43:09 PM »
What anvil did you use? Metal anvil for these punchers i think its what you need but you also have to use thicker aluminium sheets.
The spray can aluminum has a coat of laquer inside and paint outside( the label of the spray).
Dont worry about inesthetic paint and laquer as they will dissapear over the years.

They are small trees.
Fuyu is usually Jiro and there are otther varietyes  ,a lot better wich you can grow ,like the pollination variant varietyes.

Do I remember correctly that pecan is one of the few things that do not do well in air pruning type containers ? Tom
No,the pecan its the most growed tree in tall containers with air pruning but usually they are just bottomless pots without holes on the sides.
I think the tall pots without bottom were invented for pecans.
My catastrophic failure with pecans due to the use of such pots,was indeed catastrophic but pecan specialists are reccomending these pots.

Palingkecil,Turkey and Iran have  much longer life expectancy than Moldova.Alcohol its more destructive than smoking tobacco altough tobacco is bad and it killed more poeple on the planet than all the wars in history put together.

Pokeweed,i was verry offended that the raw vegan friends refused my fruits .But i also offered them to take quince as i have those giant quince in excess.
They are a verry good fruit to eat ,high quality,but can not be eaten raw because when raw they are tough like wood.
Since these friends eat only raw fruits and vegetables,they were not interested in quince for wich cooking its mandatory.

SeaWalnut--- I think you are talking about Slivovitz made from plums? The Romanian equivalent of Slivovitz.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slivovitz

So too many plum trees in Romania means too many drunk on Slivovitz. I have never tasted Slivovitz. It is rare in America and always imported. I was curious but it was too expensive. Slivovitz must be dirt cheap in Romania. My guess is one dollar per liter. How much sugar are they adding when they make this?
The cheapest is 5 dollars per litter.
Usually no sugar is added .But if you want to add sugar ,you get a litter of booze for a kilo of sugar wich is cheap .

Thats why we should have more diversity of fruits that rippen at different times and that are good for eating.
Fruit growing for alcohol is not on my list altough i do have a copper distillery at home ( wich im still dreaming to melt it because i need that copper ).

About raw vegans,i have 2 friends like this,husband and wife.They live in the city and i was soo impressed such people exist that i told them they can visit my farm and take all the fruits they want for free.
But they were not interested in my fruits because they consider i grow non interesting fruits and they also dont look good as the supermarket fruits they eat in the city

And a little moldovan joke:
Priest asks moldovan : Why did you contribute with soo little monney to the church fund?
Moldovan: because when i got to church you gave me just a little spoon of vine.

Moldova,a small country in eastern Europe is known for making high quality vine .They are like number 3 or 4 in the world at best wine making but considering the small size of the country compared to Australia for instance ,you get the idea they are experts.
Unfortunatedly ,this country,Moldova,also has the biggest problem with alcohol consumption in the world and one of 4 deaths are atributed to alcohol.
They grow a lot of fruits and make alcohol from them.
This i see it as a negative side of too much fruit growing and the reason i decided my main crop to be not fruits but nuts ,so that my family,kids,nephews and future generations,can not make alcohool from them.
In a way ,i think Moldova would have been better if they were becoming muslims since muslims dont drink that much and is one of the things i like at them.

Bush Tucker Man,Field guide.
But be aware that in Australia the fruits taste usually bad or not necesarrely bad ,but not apealing to primates like us, because there were no primates there to assist the evolution.
None the less,there are valuable fruits in Australia and the author itself has discovered a fruit that has the biggest vitamin C content in the world ,ammong all the fruits.
He also has documentaryes( films) about survival  where he presents somme of the fruits and plants he documented.



That’s really interesting about the fruits not ever needing to “taste good” there. I don’t think I’ve ever even considered the fruit or botany of Australia, so I’ll add it to my list. Thank you!
It is an expensive book ,i realised.
I didnt read it but its on my list.
What you can do in case you dont buy this book,is that you can watch his documentaryes for free on Youtube .They are gems,you will see ,if you do.
This is fruit hunting of rare ,mostly unknown fruit that australian aboriginals eat.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Chicken wire protecting tree seedlings
« on: June 25, 2020, 11:55:23 PM »
Just bought 5 spools of this thin metal wire net to cut it into small pieces and bend it into tubular shape for each seedling tree i have in the fields.
Here we call it ,,rabitz,, net but i couldnt find the naming for this in english language.For sure it is common and cheap ,found everywhere.
I hope it offers good protection against deer and rabbits while the trees are young.

Pawpaws have too much shade.Take out half of the layers of that netting and fertilise them heavy with cow manure diluted in water.

Ive googled this mite and i think a really good insecticide for this is the essential thyme oil ( mixed with horticultural oil and dish detergent).
Its works for sure to kill the mites without killing beneficial insects.
The only thing i dont know if lychee trees suport it,if they are affected or not.
