Salutations from Brisvegas

Post: # 1931Post Salviador »

Hey all, ive been milling over this site for a while now and im really impressed, this is a very informative and fun forum...

Im from brisbane, and my interest in self sufficiency arose without my knowledge, i started off growing some rocket as its my favourite lettuce and i thought that paying for it would be stupid considering its so easy to grow. The next thing that happened was home brewing, which is tastier and cheaper than store bought stufff, and now ive just realised that im growing my own tobacco and various herbal medicines...

I look forward to contributing towards this forum

Hello there Salviador good to have you on board.

Growing your own tobbacco that sounds pretty interesting is it smokable?

Wombat, im in the western suburbs, near indooroopilly :) where abouts are you??

Andy, Yes, this one is nicotinia tabacum with a little curing it will be nicer and healthier than the crap you get in the supermarkets... N Rustica is the stronger less smokable version...

G'Day Salviador,

I live in western Sydney, near Penrith.

I used to get to your neck of the woods with my previous job - the Monier plant at Darra, but all the travelling got to me and I only go to Melbourne now.
