Nice that looks spot on, and the price seems reasonable!
its not a dead cert that we'll
be in the same location year after year so for the money we'd definitely get our usage out of those.

I checked out a couple of commercial UK tunnel manufacturers..to get the same size in a good one with mesh sides so you could Vent..you are Talking literally 10 x the price..around £1700...:jaw:...so I went with the cheapie.

We need to butterfly proof this year, not such a problem for autos as the cycle is so quick, but they made a mess of a lot of our photos last year!

Yep I know exactly..you don't See them go in..just the damage and necratised bud when they come out..:slaps:..I haven't managed to find a Cure yet.
I even put up pea netting as protection but I'm convinced it is a small brown/red moth type that is doing the damage..I know pea netting was ineffective.

If I find anything..I'll let you know.

hmmm.....that sounds Interesting..insomnia is the most common symptom for all of our sickies..

Lactuca Virosa can be found locally in the south east and east of England, it is rare elsewhere in Great Britain and is virtually absent in Ireland. It is a biannual, similar to prickly lettuce Lactuca serriola but it is taller and can grow to 250cm. It flowers from July to September normally during the second season from planting.
Lactuca Virosa is often ingested for its mild sedative effects which have been described as being similar to that of opium. It is however related to the common lettuce and contains no real ‘opium’.
During the early 19th century physicians would utilize L. Virosa when opium could not be obtained as an anesthetic & a sleep aid. Oils and extracts can also be produced from Lactuca Virosa and when the dried leaves/stems are added to boiling water, it can help to induce sleep. The leaves & stems can be picked at any time; however they are more potent during the flowering period when the ground level lettuce begins to grow tall flowering stems full of Lactucarium. An infusion can be made by infusing the leaves in boiling water for 15 minutes before using.

Thanks for reminding me about the Wild Lettuce (Lactuca Virosa), have been suffering from worse than average Insomnia for the past week now, have tried Passion Flower and even some Valerian root tea but they just are not cutting it this time, forgot completly about this.

Tried it in the past in the vape and a tea and was a bit mild but could feel slight sedative effects for sure, for it to take real effect you need to consume a hell of alot, and due to the nasty bitter taste i could not stomach it. But i made a 20x extract from 30g of dried plant material, soaking it in pure Orujo (Link in the name) for about 3 weeks in a jar, moving it daily then straining off the liquid into a glass bowl, then a second 48 hours soak in water and again strained to the same bowl. After this slowly evaporated off the liquid and what was left with a nice black resin, here the killer it takes a few months for that resin to dry out to a smokeable state, so wrapped it up in grease proof paper and put it away and completely forgot about it till now.

Am going to give it a go tonight and heres hoping it does the job, well only a couple of months till havest time and the herbal helpers will be going away again for a while.

Have added a few pics of the resin, dry plant material and the living plant also, grows just about everywhere across Northern Europe.

Ha ha Spanglish Excellent Info..thank you...:tiphat:..I haven't heard of it but being Ex North East UK it probably didn't grow that far North.

Interesting your process is the same as canna Vodka.

Where do you buy the Orujo..any of the local supermarkets or did you get it in Galicia as per the link..?

If you have a Mercadona near you..go get a tub of Fruit Salts..it is next to the Bicarb..salt.. etc.
It is Like the old Andrews Liver salts.

Take a tea spoon full a day in plain water..best done in the morning.

It Should Help with the Sleep..but it may give you the runs for a day or two.....'bout 30 minutes after taking it..so be near a toilet.

Worth a Shot..insomnia is a killer.

 

[Mossy]

BTW..I have a 50 seed pack ordered so I can split some with you if you want to grow some...:tiphat:

No problem Mossy always fun to share out some new info, but yeah looks like your right it seems to be more isolated to the South UK, so not as widespread across all of Northern Europe as i previously mentioned :slaps:, but we seem to get enough of it growing wild around here though, looks very much the same as Dandelion from the shape of the leaves to the flower and leaks the same white latex from the stalk when broken, this is where you will find the highest concetration of Lactucarium its main active chemical compound, along with in the seeds.

mmmmmmm Canna Vodka many a happy night been had on that :dance2:

I get the Orujo homemade from my father in laws cousin, it can be found just about everywhere round here as i am just about touching the Galician border, they all put it in coffee here like they do with Cognac about everywhere else in Spain, there are many places that sell it mail order but you want it with as high ABV as possible to get the best extraction. You could use ISO alcohol as well but i would not recommend it as i would only ever carry out any kind of extraction using alcohol meant for human consumption.

Will check out the Fruit Salts, thanks for the tip and keep some toilet paper close to hand :roflcry:

But yeah for sure Insomnia is a silent but evil thing, lucky for me mine is psychological and caused by a over active mind due to stress in life, and due to bad health with my wifes parents (mother with late stage Alzheimer's and her father diagnosed with inoperable prostate cancer last week) there seems to be an over obundance of that stress in our lives at this moment, but hey they are both in there 80s and it has bought the two of us closer than ever, and what dont kill you makes you stronger and we are out to prove that.

Thanks for the offer of the seeds, but as i said is growing wild everywhere here. So keep then and enjoy watching them grow as i am sure they will, from what i can see almost grows like a weed so you will have pleanty soon.
