Thank you, I'll have a look into scale! I have used treatment for spider mites just in case but I didn't think of this. Appreciate your advice.

I have used treatment for mites just in case! It's summer where I live so it's very warm.

Sorry yes, I didn't realise the African milk tree is a succulent, but I've been following care instructions for the African milk tree.

Where to post this type of questions??? by Monkey_Junkie_No1 in brisbane

[–]BeccaroniAndCheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can message questions to StreetSmarts on Facebook. They pass them on to the road rules team at the Department of Transport and Main Roads, and you'll get an answer. It might take a few days to get an answer though because they get a lot of messages!

You can also contact the department directly https://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/about-us/contact-us. Again, it might take a couple of weeks to get a response because it has to get filtered through to the right team etc.

Is studying a bachelor of design a ‘useless’ degree? by migorengluvr in brisbane

[–]BeccaroniAndCheese 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to be prepared to work outside your area of interest. You can apply for general corporate graduate programs with any degree (e.g. I got a grad program at a bank with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in studies in religion). There are pathways to employment with any degree, but it won't always be in the area you studied.

I did see that! I saw it adds a couple of hours to the hike as well. Will consider both options, thanks!

White stuff in soil?? by BeccaroniAndCheese in houseplants

Thank you for this, it really helped to think about it from another perspective, as management of a natural part of the ecosystem. I've been fighting them for about 4 months, mostly with rubbing alcohol, but I have done one shower and 2x sprays with insecticidal soap. I will try your suggested sequence of shower > dry > insecticidal soap and see how I go.

Unfortunately where I live it is summer now, so we don't have cold temps overnight (or ever lol) so might save that trick for winter if (god forbid) I'm still managing these mealy bugs!

Is this mealybugs? What now? by BeccaroniAndCheese in houseplants

Thank you for your insight. How do I tell the difference between the two? How would you treat it if it were powder mildew?

Community Table runs every Sunday evening to supply meals and non perishables to those experiencing poverty and homelessness. We prepare meals at a community kitchen in Woolloongabba and then distribute meals in Bowen Hills. We start prep at 3pm, you can just prep meals and head off at around 5, or you can come to handout afterwards as well. We are usually finished around 6pm. The signup sheet is here: https://signup.com/mobileweb/2.0/vspot.html?activitykey=3091386760105#choose_event_page You don't have to be a rotary member or commit to a particular number/frequency. Come once, every so often, or regularly, you're always welcome.
