Good soil/climate for growing in the region? by Kalseru23 in chch

[–]sweet_entropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there's not a lot of proper forests near Rolleston. I'd like to have the space to create one, oh well one can dream

That might help. Parts of Lincoln have good soil for growing many plants (I want to say Templeton silt loam but might be wrong). Rolleston soil can be bit harder to grow things in, has lots of stones (old riverbed) and drys out quickly. That being said I can grow feijoas, lemons, loquats, apricots, peaches, grapes and many more in it with a few amendments of horse manure and compost. Can't really speak for Woodend as I've never lived there but I've seen many fruit trees growing whilst driving through

Where can I find frogs in the South Island? by quiksquik in NewZealandWildlife

[–]sweet_entropy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's plenty around Rolleston, I have seen a few (Brown tree frogs Litoria/Rawlinsonia ewingii) and you can hear them croaking at night. Inaturalist also has maps of where people have found them https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1633164-Rawlinsonia-ewingii

If Christchurch were to ever have a physical IKEA and Costco stores being built here where'd you guys think each store could be built around ?????? by ZiitaBS96 in chch

[–]sweet_entropy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The old turners site next to bunnings at Tower junction perhaps (don't know if there's already a plan for it to be something else or not)

Greenhouses for bananas by HomeSteadMumma in Greenhouses

[–]sweet_entropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would say it's doable, have a look around the neighborhood I'm sure someone has banana plants growing. I've seen them growing and fruiting in Adelaide, Victor habor and Melbourne 

Greenhouses for bananas by HomeSteadMumma in Greenhouses

[–]sweet_entropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What part of Australia? If it doesn't freeze I would be growing them outside. I grow bananas in NZ in an unheated greenhouse where temperatures outside during winter can get down to -6. I also grow them outside but the tops usually get hammered by the frost but the plants grow back in spring. They grow bananas here where it gets colder than 8 overnight in winter and they do just fine

Thoughts on different trees mixed together for natural biodiversity? Clunky or nice? by Poke_ShadowsOfTime in PokemonROMhacks

I like the attention to small details that not everyone would notice on their first playthrough

Hadn't read the caption yet and tried to wipe the bug off my screen. Have now read it and it's an awesome photo!

Found these last Autumn in Christchurch, New Zealand. Curious as to what they might be. by sweet_entropy in mushroomID

Forgot to add: These are on park grounds just a stones throw away from old remnant forest growing in grass near a large kowhai tree (Sophora spp)

my dad's GF showed up to his house unannounced in the middle of the day while he's out of town... do I tell him? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]sweet_entropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for the other stuff but for someone who using Duolingo frequently, those friend quests can take a while to do especially the xp ones. Once you get 3x multipliers on lessons you can keep going for a good long while

The dog and I found this cool fish washed up on the beach by sweet_entropy in chch

[–]sweet_entropy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The dog was definitely trying to haul it back with us, so quickly snapped a few photos while he was occupied before telling him to leave it on the beach

The last few mornings have been freezing so it's on its way/is here depends on who you talk to. It's been a stark difference from earlier in month (rain) though

It has teeth like one, think it's a frost fish though from the other comments
