That’s the plan mate.
I’m setting up a small green/shadehouse to propagate plants and moss, and breeding up colony’s of springtails, millipedes, pillbugs and woodlouse. I really like the idea of bioactive terrariums, it’s sort of a scaled down version of what I was doing back in Vic with the fishtanks.
I’ve been out collecting native orchids and other stuff from the bush on my property, there are lots of struggling orchids clinging to burnt out trees or in spots that the fires stripped them of the canopy, shade and frost protection.
Hoping to have a bunch if stuff ready to go once we get back to normal so I can start doing some markets etc.
Those are Southern Melon Snails, I have a few colony’s of smaller native snails and fancy aquatic ones too, eventually I want to get back into fish breeding also.
I’ve always been a nerd with wierd hobby. Lol.

That’s beautiful mate!
Thanks man, it came up pretty good.
I reckon it’s the nices looking one you’ve made!
I had to look up what Juma was, for people like me , it’s a resin that’s formable in boiling water and is very durable and good for knives. Looks very good dan.
Finally got around to making the sheath for this knife. Had suggestions from other knife makers to do a snake-skin insert but went a different way. Made up a leather stamp to give this “scale” effect.
