Whilst we're on the subject.... :)
For people who don't know what one is:

Questions:
I carry a few 120lt (I think they are 120 - about 4' x 3') thickish garden waste bags for this purpose they are black in colour. Does anyone know where I can buy larger, very thick, clear plastic bags for transpiration use?
Why is it recommended that transpiration bags be clear? I thought black would have absorbed more heat and hastened the transpiration process?

Plants require sunlight to photosynthesise, transpiration is part of the cycle, thus no sunlight, no transpiration.
Black will allow the plant to 'sweat', but it will not produce a great deal of water unlike the process of transpiration.
As for the clear bags, try a gardening supply store or similair, as I have seen mulches and the likes sold in clear bags in the past. Worht a try

Save your money and your time. You can have my ex for free, she is a transparent empty bag. She may be even able to pump up your tyres, engage your ARB Diff locks, inflate your Air jack and air mattress as she was full of hot air. Oh she wont blow anything real important or do the house work, dishes, vacuum, iron clothes, mow the lawn, gut fish,
cook food, get beer or make intelligent conversation. Yes she was like a Bull with no horns and not legs. She woudn't buck, f@@@, just sit there and bullchit.
I hope this helped regards,
The "Dirty One"

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm getting a sense there were some issues relating to compatibility in your marriage...?

Grey hair is hereditary, you get it from children. Baldness is caused by watching the Wallabies.
