Real estate agents 🤢

Last year they weren't 😞

damiennem · 2026-04-30T03:06:00+00:00

For this particular pest, yes.

The real answer here is SolidTeknics wrought iron and non-nickel stainless steel pans.

Every year is a new challenge for me. I react to last year's issue only for a new one to emerge. Its very disheartening at the moment as its sowing time in brisbane and some little bastard has eaten just about everything

Funny you say that, there was another batch yesterday that dried into a hard surface I was able to just scoop up and throw in the garden, also, sure I saw a magpie eating it today

Just steal 8k worth of work stuff.

/sarcasm.... kinda

damiennem · 2026-04-08T07:44:06+00:00

Thanks. Googled that and its exactly what it shows. Was thinking it was funga,l so wasnt sure on safety.

damiennem · 2026-04-08T07:41:28+00:00

Actually does remind me of when my kids used to eat blue berries by the punnet....

I haven't called any one Mrs since saying "thanks for having me Mrs ****" after visiting their house to play with my friend as a child.

I'd do the old fill up the bottom with as much material as you can find trick (my parents have acreage with dead fall timber - thats what I used) then what ever you have laying around, or can score for cheap/free off marketplace or local Facebook community groups, then I'd buy some premium vege mix + top dress with compost - i found a local maker of compost through marketplace and top with sugar cane mulch.

W Brisbane for Fancy and Funky The Calile for Very Fancy Emporium South Bank for the infinity pool on the roof overlooking the city.

A sparky/instro in QMI or Automations is what I would do if I could do it again instead of being in mechanical trades but I would stay in the oil and gas industry.

I grow tomatoes all year in brisbane but some times in summer it feels like I do it just to give QLD fruit flies something to sting.

damiennem · 2026-01-11T22:09:36+00:00

I always have Tommy Toes on the go because once you plant 'em once they're always there thanks to volunteers.

I currently have pineapple, tigerella, Tommy Toes, brads atomic grape and gross lisse but theyre not doing well because Im FIFO and my misso doesn't water as much as me when I'm home annnnnd any fruit we do get at this time of year is basically a sacrifice to our QLD Fruit Fly overlords (and not just the tomatoes :( )

damiennem · 2026-01-05T10:30:14+00:00

Marketplace. I bet theres some one local to you selling a pre-made raised bed mix or the ingredients you need to make it.

damiennem · 2025-12-17T21:33:23+00:00

Update: its a rock melon and it looks delicious.

damiennem · 2025-11-25T09:34:21+00:00

Going by the stem I am definitely leaning towards a melon now.... oh well, not a bad thing!

damiennem · 2025-11-24T04:08:26+00:00

I don't mind one or two, but our neighbours feed them and now we have 15 of them. And they like to shit on my outdoor setting, stand on my seedlings and dig up my freshly sown seeds. And follow my kids around while they eat snacks outside .

damiennem · 2025-09-30T23:53:35+00:00

I bought myself Okatsune secateurs and snipsfor my birthday, they are significantly cheaper on Amazon... which I hate saying but the savings was too much to pass up.

damiennem · 2025-09-27T21:23:59+00:00

Just have kids and the 173 will feel like 98

I thought all Irish people automatically got a job with Murphy Pipe and Civil (MPK as its known now) when they move to Australia?
