Thanks for the question! The 'C' is silent so it's pronounced 'ten-o-tus'. You could think of it like, "did you happen cten-o-tus that lizard over there?” 😂
Wow ... Love this video & thank u so much for your effort in producing such a lucid & yet simple to understand video. I had tried with Rosemary hardwood cuttings in water but failed. Please advise me on this. Also recently I bought some Sage cuttings from the supermarket to root in water. Hopefully it will work out successfully for me. By the way, may I ask, how long it takes a Rosemary cutting to start showing sign of roots while in such water propagation? & what about Sage cuttings & how long it takes for it to start rooting?? I had great success with Peppermint, Spearmint, Applemint & also with Thyme under water propagation..
Glad to hear you enjoyed it; thanks for taking the time to let us know! Rosemary and sage can take somewhere around 2 to 6 weeks to grow roots, and will be more successful in late spring and summer. If you're able to use filtered water that may increase your success and you will also want to change the water regularly. Good luck!
I dug a goldfish pond last fall and expanded it this spring. The goldfish bred like crazy so I expanded it even more. As I was finishing the last expansion, heavy rain filled it over half full and I also noticed a couple small frogs hanging out in the original section that has some plants and algae that the goldfish feed on. Parts of that section are straight up and I watched one of the frogs climb straight up it, jumping higher and sticking to the side. They can get out of there if they want, but it's been over a week now and they seem happy.
How interesting! Generally speaking, frogs and goldfish don’t live together… simply because goldfish will actually eat frog eggs and tadpoles! Sometimes they’ll even try to eat the larger frogs. While the frogs may appear ok for the time being, if you’d like to keep them in your yard, we recommend building a pond specifically for them. You can find some information here about building a frog pond: www.greenadelaide.sa.gov.au/news/2022-frog-friendly-garden.
@@GreenAdelaide Thanks for the link. I wasn't expecting frogs but here they are and it's two females maybe not old enough for breeding this year. I saw one in the new side of the pond one time and saw her swim back, but ever since they both stay in the old part. There is plenty of cover for them to hide in, but there isn't enough shallow area for tadpoles to mature so I would need to make another expansion if a male happens along.
With tree canopy cover in metro Adelaide at only 17% and the widely-accepted level being 30%, there is certainly room for improvement. You can find out more about the draft strategy here: www.greenadelaide.sa.gov.au/news/2024-urban-greening-strategy-consultation.
People are parasites that can't do anything for themselves anymore, they expect others to do it for them. They have learned this from watching too much tv which tells them that they can do whatever they please
The new artworks are great, aren't they! There are 9 in total to check out along the Breakout Creek Stage 3 redevelopment. Details here: www.greenadelaide.sa.gov.au/news/2024-breakout-creek-purruna-pari-kaurna-sculptures.
Some great tips. Perhaps a follow up video could show how to set up a good habitat for frogs in different types of dwellings from small inner city courtyards to suburban backyards and more open rural areas.
When I first heard the name Flying Foxes I too was confused. A Bat Rescuer in Australia said the name was given to them because of their beautiful faces. They are gorgeous fruit Bats.🩶🖤♥️🤓🦇🥰
Correct my last statement 1830 these Foxes were brought into our Country. To record there is some 6 million foxes in Australia these days. How do we get rid of them?
Thanks @Jeffriley4382, unfortunately there is no easy answer, but our video, and the below blog, has some tips for reducing impacts of foxes within your own backyard: www.greenadelaide.sa.gov.au/news/2022-outfox-a-fox
Thank you very much for the English for bring Foxes into Australia in 1700's. They are a Pest and eat anything they can find. How can I stop them from coming into my Property?
Look ... I was keen to find out about our microbats. So making them sound this boring is a major fail. Also the presenter couldn't stop fidgeting, couldn't keep his head still, and spoke like a ten year old. I felt really disappointed. Fortunately I googled the subject and found this page on the Green Adelaide website. www.greenadelaide.sa.gov.au/news/2023-microbats-in-adelaide
I didn't understand the start of this video it just sound like some mumble jumble. so I you lost me in the first 30 seconds sorry I just couldn't watch anymore
Hi @lockpickingengineer7458, the start of this video is in Kaurna Language. Keep watching to hear how important the River Torrens / Karrawirra Pari really is.
Hi @shivika_susmita , it can work with parsley, but be sure to take a cutting without flowers on it. And best to take several cuttings as not all cuttings of parsley mature to grow roots.
I've been truly shocked at the contemptuous treatment of the River Torrens by some of the older landowners up here in the Adelaide Hills. Unregulated water extraction, thoughtless livestock grazing, out of control blackberry and woody weed infestations - all capped off by fencing and barbed wire with 'private property' signs to prevent anyone actually accessing and enjoying this river. It's a shameful indictment on the farmers and those who own property along here. I can only hope that in time we can learn and rediscover what a wonderful resource we actually have and treat it with the respect it deserves.
It is always an absolute pleasure to hear Prod. Chris Daniels. So much to learn from him and his vast knowledge and experience. Adelaide, Nature of a City is a spectacular book. Thanks Chris and Green Adelaide.
I have never been swooped by a magpie but i see magpies all over my school and bin chicken in my school and i see magpies in my front yard and backyard
Magpies are good, sometimes a little mischievous… breeding season is when they become very territorial because of the young in the nest. But generally nothing to worry about 👍
Yes! I didn't want to plant directly in my soil, so i got 2 kiddie pools, poked holes in the bottom, filled them with soil, and planted them in the pools. I literally had to give swiss chard away cause I had so much! I planted seeds at the beginning of the season and just kept clipping off as i needed and more and more kept growing. Such a wonderful thing to watch. Saved so much money as well. Nothing like fresh chard picked especially for your meals right before you cook them.
