I used to grow robusta along the side of the house when we lived up north
even did the pick, dry & roast then grind

bloody awful but fun doing it!!

Just imagine what these tomatoes are gonna do when I give them a hit of my home made fertilizer :blink:
For quite a while now I've had all different manure brewing in a bin, I got chook, goose, cow, alpaca and goat and a few other things just to boost it up  :winkextra:

Cool RG! I just read that robusta is bitter.

Our (larger two) are K7 which we got from a friend here years ago. The bubbies were self germinated from fallen seed then potted. (Now frosted).

[robbiegal]

yes the robusta was bitter but it may have been my roasting inexperience and the trees were young, by memory they were only about 7-6 foot high and raised from seeds

but golly -the coffee bean off the tree is sweet and glorious to eat

my sister at that time lived in cooktown and the coffee grows wild up there
I told her to plantation what she had growing wildly on her land but they didn't

silly omission in my books

AJ - that brew sounds like you could bottle it and sell it at the market  
in explode proof canisters of course
someone at the markets here last sunday had worm farm juice in 2 litre milk bottles for $5 each - didn't see any sell while I was there mind you
ps - K7 is an Arabica (google is my friend) - nice coffee

did you make your own roasted beans with the mother plants?

[Unicorn]

Not as yet RG. The two mother bushes are around 6 foot and have struggled a little bit in past years due to a few really heavy frosts that burnt them a bit. (They're planted next to the water tank so it provides a bit of cover from the frost). So far I've tried to keep all the beans to germinate them. I'm going to try and get around to planting the kept beans over the next couple of months (I think soaking helps?) but the to-do list is an ever increasing beast at the moment.

I bought a plastic green house form Bunnings for $65 this year
hum ... some things are still alive


I also bought some frost wrap - it looks like paper
but I forgot to put it on the plants - still in the roll in the lounge room

looks like the stuff in this link

this one looks interesting - just wrap up the plant for the winter

first little eagle bubba (SE15) is out and squeaking away for some yum yums this morning

I am hooked again
it is just so relaxing watching these birds
but a real heart breaker when it goes belly up for the babies

How do you pack & move a ton of coins?
They are sooo heavy, & I don't want too many in each box.
Plus the security of the whole thing.
Damn it's a nightmare packing.

Then send them to me :laugh2: :dance2:
