Prickly Pear Cactus

... In article , "Dioclese" NONE wrote: "Billy" wrote in message ... So after a gruesome summer of watching one napole after another shrivel up and blow away, I'm down to my last one. Anecdotally, I've been told to just lie the napole on the ground and it will root. This hasn't worked. Googling, I find that it is recommended to set the napole on its' side and bury a small part of it. I am using a half barrel with hill side clay at the bottom and mixed with cactus potting soil (1-1) for the top 8". The "last nopale" has sprouted another nopale but I am too afraid to move it to see if it is rooted. Lacking any comment to the contrary, I intend to check the napale for roots today, and in the event that I don't find any, rotating it from its' face to its' side and planting a quarter of it in the ground. -- Billy Bush and Pelosi Behind Bars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KVTf...ef=patrick.net http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1009916.html Opposite problem here, Billy. Immediately adjacent to the AC compressor concrete pad is some prickly pear cactus. I've mowed it down till blue in the face, 2 years now. It won't die. If you can't beat them, join them and do as I do with my dandelions, I eat them. Prickly pears are free food and can double as a primer, if you decide to whitewash your house ;O). The fruit is supposed to taste like water melon (or was that chicken? No, I'm sure it is watermelon:O). -- Billy Bush and Pelosi Behind Bars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KVTf...ef=patrick.net http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1009916.html Have all I can eat near the street as it is now... Not sure how concrete siding will react to prickly pear cactus. "We are all prisoners of our own device"/Eagles. See Bush/Pelosi. -- Dave |
