sometimes fabric pots clean up ok, i did say you can do a few runs if you want, but
no washing machine i seen can remove all the roots growing through fabric pots, plus like lowrange was saying bugs love them,

they look good in photos, but thats about all, i still prefer to just rinse out the old plastic ones alot quicker and easier

they probly great if you in Melbourne where it only gets above 30 twice a year, but where i am i find that they dry out to quick

Yeah some fabric pots ive seen i wouldnt use in the machine it depends on the brand
I reguarly waah mine after ive dried the roots out and scraped them out then inti the machine
I think it just comes down to the make of the fabric pots....

Hey @Snowman78 @Capman420 !

Off to Morphettville tomorrow (not in person) for a couple of G1's.

Favourite Steinem looks hard to beat in the Oaks, but I liked the run of Sirileo ($19) last start. Hear there is a push for Americain Angel ($16), reckon D.Lane went over there for a reason.

Certainly isn't the beer!

Anything else you blokes want to add to the tri?

Best for the day is meant to be MR R9, No 8 Vowmaster. Good luck, and gamble like there's no tomorrow!

I think Avid is useful it's just something we need to be careful with. That being said I'd try other mite remedies first but if you have to have those genetics because you have resistant mites use it but wear protection when you do and clone out. I'd also look into the Marrone products for Mites since I had such good luck with their bio offering Regalia for Powder Mildew.

Anyway welcome to RIU and thank you for thinking of me ;)
Hey man! Thanks for dropping in to the Aussie Thread! We can only learn from the experts like you, particularly with a med background.

Yeah, I looked into Marronebio.com...product Grandevo WDG aka Chromobacterium Subtsugae. Regretfully it doesn't seem to be available in Oz. Our cousins across the ditch (NZ) seem to be embracing the product via Nu-Farm. Sadly the Kiwis seem to be a bit more open minded in embracing "Bio" initiatives.

If you don't mind, pretty sure it was Tyler that suggested a product based on Bifenazate? Any thoughts?

Much respect!

I wonder if it will be ever coming back to Australia and why did it stop in the first place
pops garden was a reseller from my understanding pops is no more. Did hear from a dude in nz that was buying a pallet to sell but haven’t heard much since. He’s probably still waiting because of covid

Sounds like you need to see a therapist. Making a sock account and spending so much time in the hope of getting someone back is not normal.
Hey LL! Sorry you feel that way mate. I should better explain myself...

Long time smoker, amateur grower. Been out of the game for a few years (think 2017). Tuned in to this channel off'n'on for a few years.

See, I have an Ag (citrus) background, so do most of my mates. We used to find it funny to tune into this channel @ smoko to see a bloke that clearly had a horticultural background rip the nuts off of some the "experts" on this thread. It was fkn funny!

But hey fellah! You have a great day!

I had a dangerously awesome day.
