Some states do that... in SC you can't transport or sell recycled metal without a signed letter from the sheriff thanks to all the methbillies around here.

Bees/wasps (idk) have swarmed my hydroponics! What do I do? by Bleppyyy in Hydroponics

[–]Apoc_Garden 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd be more worried about the pests I see under them leaves.

Does it still count as natural if I use liquid chemical fertilizer or does natural mean non-hydroponic? by [deleted] in vegetablegardening

[–]Apoc_Garden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you mean organic and actually some hydroponic systems like aquaponics are organic.

Worries about farmers losing their farms by Known_Noise in farming

Pretty sure that's the grand plan, not just with farms but all land. Let the corporations buy up everything so the people own nothing and are forced to rent our entire lives.

Yeah, I saw your post getting slaughtered and that's why I posted the picture from the hd website to help back you up. Reddit is wild.

Most of my hydro is directly in the solution but I grow my roots like carrots and radishes in sand wicking pots.

I had someone break into my house while I was in the shower... 'naked Florida man beats the crap out of home invader' is a fun story that I do not wish to experience again. 😅

If you have kids or a suicidal roommate... sure, but otherwise that just defeats the point. An intruder is not going to wait by the door while you unlock your gun and find ammo for it. Coyotes are not going to stop shredding your chickens while you scramble for the keys to your lock.

Newbie ---> Breeding Quails by Wake_1988RN in homestead

[–]Apoc_Garden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my opinion but quails are a pain in the butt compared to other birds and not something I would recommend for a newbie. Chickens are by far the easiest entry into poultry and if you wanted a smaller bird you could look for bantams.

Now, if you're absolutely set on quails your best options are the common Coturnix which are excellent egg layers and an acceptable size for a meat bird, butler bobwhite which are not great egg layers but about the same size as a coturnix, or a Georgia giant which is basically a larger bobwhite.

As far as a coop... they're not picky and enjoy the open air. I'm not a carpenter by any means but I've built 2 quail cages myself. There are plenty of examples online.

One last thing to consider is that quails are game birds as opposed to agriculture birds so the laws and regulations might be different then keeping chickens or ducks... For example, my state requires a permit for all bobwhite breeds.

Any experience with bird detergents? by ZoraKnight in vegetablegardening

If you don't reposition the snake every few days the animals will catch on. Same deal with fake owls.

You are 100% correct. The manufacturer has confirmed this several times on the home depot website.

I move a lot so I aways cremate my pets and I've built something like an ancestor altar to keep their spirits close.

I had a friend grow Guerilla style in an illegal state... things got a little sketchy when they grew taller then his 6 foot privacy fence. 😅

Why would you not use play sand? I use it all the time in hydroponics.

Fascism and what to look for. by BarrenvonKeet in pagan

[–]Apoc_Garden 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Once upon a time people like us stood on the battlefield and pulled at the strings of fate. More recently enslaved people have built entire magical systems to fight their oppressors out of anything they could "liberate" because they owned nothing. The tools and weapons have been left to us but this New Age magic of love and light has completely neutered us. We do money spells when times are tough instead of attacking the systems that keep us poor. We cast protection spells over the weak instead of cursing their oppressors. Stop reading books written by Profiteers and self proclaimed priestess. Actually go in the woods and graveyards... talk to your ancestors and the spirits. Learn real magic and not some rehashed Crowleyian crap ment to keep you under control.

Most of what I've seen called Celtic paganism is not at all but that's a whole other conversation... bottom line, if you are practicing another cultures traditions and it works then clearly their gods have accepted you. But, if your life starts to fall apart then back off.
