General Off-Topic / Re: Southern Germany flood
Last post by David Pilling - Today at 04:03:33 AMMartin - please keep dry.
l/m² are hard to comprehend after a lifetime of rain in linear measure - first inches and then today mm. Anyway for anyone else cognitively challenged, I confidently assert that 100l/m² is 100mm of rain (or 4 inches).
1 liter = 1/1000 cubic meter
liter/square meter = 1/1000 meter cubed/meter squared = 1/1000 meter == millimetre

General Off-Topic / Re: Southern Germany flood
Last post by Martin Bohnet - Yesterday at 09:01:10 PMThing is, it may be no news in the future - though it's statistically a "century flood", it will be more and more common.
Last night again was more critical than expected. I've been immensely lucky - both two villages upstream and one downstream, desaster struck, while we were spared. This video is in German, but the images tell enough - these are literally situations in a radius of less than 10 Kilometers around my home. My personal weather station tells me almost 160 l/m² since Friday, monthly expected average for June is about 100l/m²
I'll cut this one out of the picture topic and move it....

General Discussion / Re: Brunsvigia bosmaniae
Last post by Martin Bohnet - Yesterday at 11:41:50 AMHi and welcome to the Forum!
We'll need a little more information: where are you (Hemisphere? Climate?), what is the status of the bulb (resting/in the green/ with/without roots/ adult or juvenile....) - everything helps.

Sometimes they flower better with a tight root run.
I'd re-pot only with a small increase in diameter.

General Discussion / Brunsvigia bosmaniae
Last post by Kaz305 - Yesterday at 09:40:23 AMHi all
I have managed to secure a Brunsvigia bosmaniae and wanted to ask what it's watering requirements are. It's been planted today but I haven't watered it in yet

Last post by MLoos - Yesterday at 05:56:06 AMLast of the Tulipa, first Crinum
Tulipa sprengeri from scattered seed about 6 years ago, seed from Alan Street, makes it even more special. He liked to scatter it along the roadsides.
Crinum 'Schreck' that has been in the same pot at least 8 years, probably needs a little more space but blooms seem unfazed.

Last post by David Pilling - Yesterday at 03:48:24 AM7 beautiful foods to plant in your garden
Do you want to grow food in your garden without overhauling it into an allotment? Or wish you had a veg patch but don't have the time? You can have the best of both worlds, by scattering edible plants among your borders or in pots on the patio.

Potassium is radioactive, bananas contain potassium, hence why they are a good addition to compost.
