Re: Using F10 with seed sprouts, and mouldy millet
You wouldn't need much ACV, but I always use that during the soaking phase. I've never used F10 for soaking but it's a very safe chemical. As for seeds and millet, properly stored should be fine. I...

Re: crimson rosella gender
The only way to know for sure is DNA testing. Crimson Rosellas aren't really sexually dymorphic. There is a slight size size difference (males are very slightly larger) but it's not a reliable way to...

Re: Cara Cara Oranges
Specific variety does matter since some are slightly different in terms of acid and sugar content, but moderation is key and I would treat it as you would any other citrus. Interestingly enough, one...

Re: Not so good night
