Are there any from the Eastern States of mainland Australia who would like to trade plants? (I probably can't send anything legally into WA or Tasmania). I have a lot of things that would go ok in the post.

Hi Vanessa.

Check out the "ATP Member Map". If you hover your mouse over a dot, a member's name will usually pop up. If it doesn't, change the zoom and try that dot again.

There are several people who've listed their address in a way that Dave's app recognized.



I hope you don't mind if I draw your thread to their attention:

Thank you Rick, no I don't mind at all! I am fairly new to this site so I don't know all the features and how to use them yet. I just realised that I can't use that app on my ipad, I'll have to do that on the main computer. I didn't see a marker where I live so I must need to do that in my profile.

Belated welcome to ATP! There are several 'chicken' threads in the Farming Forum,

The thread "Chicken questions" in Farming forum
The thread "My chicken coop, yard and garden project" in Farming forum
The thread "Some strange chicken behaviors" in Farming forum
The thread "Broody Hens" in Farming forum
The thread "Hazards of raising backyard chickens" in Farming forum
The thread "Chicks, 2013" in Farming forum
The thread "Chickens is Dumb." in Farming forum

I think this is you on the Member Map, shown between Coff's Harbor and Tamworth.

I think that Dave's software interfaces with some third-party mapping application, and recognizing place names isn't always perfect. If the map shows you in the wrong place, editing your address in your profile will give it a chance to find you more accurately. (It might not update until tonight - I'm not sure about that.

>> so I don't know all the features and how to use them yet.

One feature that I really like is in "Your Profile",
... " Change your site preferences" ...
... "Automatically jump to the first unread post in threads?" = "YES"

Also, within the Plant Database, if you click on this, it will add the plant to you private Plant List. You can sort those into categories of your choice, like
"I have these plants"
"I can give away bare root starts of these plants"
"I'm looking for a source of this plant"
