Reply to Burjin,
		try soaking the seeds in a 10% bleach solution for 1 
hour, this is a method i am now using to try and germinate some tepin 
seeds... 
Cage a Kurrawong feed him the HAB seeds and wait with a small shovel..
this is the method I will be using next.
Put said Kurrawong in compost after strangling as the one I have come 
visiting has developed a taste for Chiles.
Prune after your last chile comes off the bush, then as dead wood 
occours. I repot my overwintered Habs in (River loam-Yellow-clayey 20% 
Coffee Grounds 10%, Peat moss 50%, Good potting mix 19%-Not cheep 
Dynamic lifter 1%-pelletised chicken manure..wish I could get that 
Elephant S**t but Woolgoolga is about 8 hrs drive from Taronga park Zoo.

actually did it just now again, I do this several times a year. Repot 
that is ..

No complaints yet..
