GARAGE DOOR Maintenance, service, installation and repairs.

FRICO DIENSTE Pty (Ltd)

The garage door is the single biggest moving object on your property. It weighs 60kg for a single door to 200+kg for a double wooden door. To open the door a torsion spring assists you and takes most of the weight of the door. Two steel cables both sides of the door carry the weight.

If the cables rust the door may fall on a person or vehicle causing severe injury or damage.

I will service your garage doors and replace parts to ensure the safety of your loved ones.

Are Plants Intelligent?

I remember while on a hiking trail in Kruger, the ranger told us something quite amazing: that plants could communicate with each other.

“So if a kudu eats the leaves on a tree, that tree can send a warning to other trees by releasing chemicals into the air. This s mulates them to produce a chemical that makes their leaves taste unpleasant,” he said.

I thought that so clever. Now I have learned even more fascina ng secrets about clever plants in a book called The Light Eaters by Zoë Schlanger.

Take the mucuna vine that is pollinated by bats. Bats use echoloca on to find their way at night so they can calculate the exact distance, size and shape of objects.

Researchers wondered how bats knew to land only on those vine flowers whose nectar had not already been depleted by another bat.

Turns out it's because the vine is clever. It has a curved petal-like appendage on the side of the flower that reflects the bat's sonar loud and clear, so the bat heads straight to the vine flower. While it's drinking the nectar, the plant releases its pollen onto the bat's back. Then the bat flies off to another flower, inadvertently carrying the pollen to pollinate the next vine flower.

Here's the astonishing bit: once the vine flower has released its pollen, it no longer needs to a ract bats, so it lowers the petal appendage on a plant hinge, packing away its “sonar equipment”. The next bat flies right past it. Extraordinary.

Then there are plants that react to caterpillars ea ng their leaves.

As the book points out, plants have no ears but can “hear” by picking up vibra ons. Experiments have shown that they recognise the vibra ons of munching caterpillars, and take ac on.

Some create nasty-tas ng tannins in their leaves, but the reac on of the tomato plant is quite scary.

“The tomato plant will inject something into its leaves that will make the caterpillars look up from their chewing and turn to eye their fellow caterpillars. Soon the caterpillars begin to eat each other,” Schlanger writes.

Like something out of a horror movie.

I like the plant in Brazil that plants its own seeds. Once Spigelia genuflexa plants have been pollinated and developed fruit, they bend their stems un l the fruit touches the ground.

“They push down un l it is buried in the so moss. The plant has planted its own seeds.”

Plants also communicate underground through large networks of fungi known as the “wood wide web”.

Plant scien st Sven Batke says this network allows plants to share resources like water, food and informa on.

“Over 80% of plants are believed to be connected, making it one of the oldest communica ons systems in the world.”

So are plants intelligent? Most scien sts will answer “no”. They have no brain or nervous system.

I don't think the “intelligent” label ma ers much. It is enough to recognise that plants have astonishing abili es.

For me the cleverest plant characteris c of all is their ability to s ck their roots in the ground, their branches in the air and make food from the sun.

MEET FRANKLIN! Tall, dark and handsome, Franklin is always dressed to impress in his tuxedo. While he may be the biggest boy in the cattery, he’s also one of the gentlest and sweetest. He gets along well with other cats and has a soft spot for our timid miss Angel. He’d make an excellent companion for a shy cat who would benefit from a calm friend. With people, Franklin is affectionate and loving, especially once he gets to know you.

He would love to share his heart with a family of his own.
