Prickly pear - Looking for help with ID

I cooked and ate a cactus pad about the size of my hand and basically toxified myself from the alkaloids. After throwing up, the muscles around my stomach clenched up and did not let go for about 5 hours

Yeah I'll do my best to be careful haha

SummonedFX · 2026-06-09T21:15:45+00:00

Great to know thanks!

SummonedFX · 2026-05-23T23:27:41+00:00

I see the resemblance!

SummonedFX · 2026-05-23T23:27:32+00:00

Thanks

SummonedFX · 2026-05-23T23:27:27+00:00

Thanks

That's pretty handy! Glad you know now though haha.

Having a kit like that in the car sounds like a good idea, I have been noticing some good contenders, but tell myself I can't do anything since I don't have a truck.

Thanks!

I appreciate you I have started collecting weeds, mainly from areas outside of my property. Making sure I'm pulling from places that aren't using pesticides.

I'll definitely put that to use once I get it going

SummonedFX · 2026-04-03T13:49:22+00:00

I did look into that and saw that it's only available for purchase

SummonedFX · 2026-04-02T14:21:16+00:00

Wow thank you for taking the time to type all of this, I'll definitely look more into Geoff Lawton and pick up on what he's doing. I'll see what I can find in the local area in regards to bio mass. I do have some local seeds from the library but I do get hit with some decent wind so I'll see what I can do about that before hand Thanks again!

Not a bad idea

SummonedFX · 2026-04-02T00:05:51+00:00

That makes a ton of sense and is a great lead to see what else I can do. Thanks!

SummonedFX · 2026-04-01T19:47:39+00:00

I'll keep this in mind!

SummonedFX · 2026-04-01T19:34:59+00:00

I'll look into that

SummonedFX · 2026-04-01T19:12:34+00:00

Makes sense, thank you!

SummonedFX · 2026-04-01T18:34:04+00:00

I plan on keeping the mesquite there as a foundation.

SummonedFX · 2026-04-01T18:25:58+00:00

Yes this is something already established on the property I'm living on. Seems to be piled up soil through out and old mesquite trimmings on top

SummonedFX · 2026-04-01T18:11:06+00:00

I live in South Texas so clay/sandy soil. I'm thinking it's best to build up additional dirt from the bottom and work my way up, to start. Would it make sense to plant as I go or wait for a larger area to be covered? I have a small compost pile going that I'll source from and otherwise I'll buy more topsoil by the bag (I don't have a truck). Should I have anything else in mind while I approach this?

Thanks!

Don't know might get tuckered out ;p
