(1 Dionea muscipula--venus fly trap & 1 sarracena pururea---bog plant) There seems to be quite a lot of google entries concerning their water requirements, but what I'm looking for is more on the lines of just what can they eat and how much of it? I mean, what with the hot weather n all, we have to stuff the chicken leftovers into the freezer until bin day to prevent us from having a stinky dustbin. So, just how many such plants would I need to save freezer space (& save electricity, thereby aiding the enviornment) Like, how are they on chicken bones? Or the fat from a slice of ham? Just wondering. What you want to grow is the Greater Gromboolian Cow-Muncher. Only the very biggest ones can eat even a calf, and they take a century to grow to that size, so using a young one for the purpose you envisage should work. It is believed that the oldest and largest one in the UK is in the Home Office, and is used to threaten Home Secretaries who show signs of a liberal disposition. Well-behaved ones are allowed to feed it with dissidents on special occasions, of course. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
