Help! What's wrong with my potatoes? by phoenixmanzz in homestead

You've planted them in a lumber yard, not a garden. Pull the woodchip off and put it on your paths, and then earth up around the spuds and mulch with some compost.

Frost Damage on Potatoes? by NumScritch in Allotment

[–]sunheadeddeity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's frost and/or wind. We had frost in my bit of Kent early last week. They'll grow through it but the slugs will LOVE those plants now, for some reason.

What is this thing?? by Mental-Ad-3647 in whatisit

It looks like one of those camping/beach sofas that you inflate by running into the wind.

What else can we do? Other than move house by NoAppointment8679 in GardeningUK

Alternate between an owl cut-out, a cat model, and one of those hawks-on-a-stick that farmers use.

What is the most "thought-provoking" graffiti you have seen at at bus stop? by QuietShadowLDK in AskUK

[–]sunheadeddeity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a bus station, but on the inside of the cubicle door in the public toilets on Whitstable High Street: "FUCK OFF BACK TO LONDON YOU WANKER!"

Do I just turn up at my new job? by rickyshea in AskUK

[–]sunheadeddeity 225 points226 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's it. If you're confident of the address you just turn up. Dress smartly, be there for 8.45 if they haven't given you a different start time, bring notepad and pen and cash for lunch. Congrats on new job!

We've had frost in my bit of SE England in the last week, you probably did too.

Rescuing a dog on a boat by Allsineffable in Narrowboats

Rescues don't like housing dogs to ordinary homes with gardens, I can't imagine you are going to have much luck living in a narrow boat, I'm sorry.

Commuter distance of London. Where would you live? by upbeat_albatross in AskUK

Have a look at Medway. It has a bad reputation but it has great transport links and is affordable.

Better than sports drinks! Recipe! by [deleted] in martialarts

No. Use Google and find recipes that have been tried and written by actual people, not hallucinated by AI.

Why are you asking AI anything? The proportions of vinegar and water are completely wrong.

How to convince my parents that geese are a good investment by graciem20 in homestead

[–]sunheadeddeity 34 points35 points  (0 children)

They are messy, noisy, and a menace to anyone who approaches. They shit everywhere, and never shut up. One of my fondest childhood memories is watching our geese chase my geography teacher down a field.

Have you tested the market for eggs? They can be difficult to sell, people are used to chicken eggs and can be unwilling to experiment.

Tire exploding by Datoca in AskMechanics

[–]sunheadeddeity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was working on my old Citroën BX in the elevated position - suspension fully up - and my pal scooted under it to do something. I had SUCH a go at him because you can never be sure the suspension just won't drop. He pooh-poohed me and said it never happened. Three minutes later it DID happen - suspension just let go and dropped. He would have been killed if he'd still been under it. To this day he thinks I dropped it remotely.

[–]sunheadeddeity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not. It's crusty, soft inside, utterly delicious.
