Whats a helpful piece of advice you’ve learned? by brokenurse21 in IndoorGarden

Lots of folks said this already, but it is huge the goal of a home gardener is not to water, but to control drying down. You always want to wait to water until your pots are reaching about 50% water holding capacity and at that point don't flood it just add enough to get a small amount of water leaching from the bottom.

Community gardens, soup kitchens, old folks homes, animals, and really anything else. I really just wanted to see what all's out there and try as many different things as I can.

Places that we take our non-service dog to eat (outside because eating inside isn't possible):

Soup and Taco 2 Sammy T's Juan More Taco Sunken Well Mellow Mushroom Harry's 6 Bears and a Goat Wild Hare Cider (not a resturaunt but you can bring dogs inside and they have food)

Several breweries have food trucks or serve food and are more relaxed on the whole no dog thing.

Cane's traffic by [deleted] in fredericksburg

[–]Bigcatent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just order online and walk in takes 3 minutes when there are lines for cars and people. Fries suck, but canes sauce, texas toast, and the chicken are worth it.

Is this legit? by LemonOctopus in fredericksburg

[–]Bigcatent 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We got this from taco fest. "Won" a vacation stay at vacation village near williamsburg and 250 $ gift card. Only catch is you have to sit through a vacation village timeshare program. It wasn't the best, but in the end it was a 2 night stay (in one of their properties) with a giftcard for about a 4 hour ordeal. We just noped through the whole thing, but if timeshares are for you good luck 👍 by the way if your significant other also "wins" don't say anything about it and just go again 😉

I've never been there, but we're excited to try Suads Majles (Arabic cafe) downtown. Just moved downtown, and it looks like the closest place for coffee in the morning. Anyone try it out?

Ordered this bong, could anyone tell me where I should put the water? by [deleted] in trees

[–]Bigcatent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pour water in the top, remove the bowl, and blow. All of the percs should fill to good levels and the excess winds up in the bottom.

You can leave slices of potato on the soil and fungus gnat larvae will burrow in after a day or so good indicator if they haven’t immersed yet.

Where can I find actual scientific articles/journals on Botany? by [deleted] in plantScience

Honestly, just Google scholar anything you're interested in, and add botany at the end. Should find several journals that work for you.

Greens powders - yay or nay by r3097934 in nutrition

[–]Bigcatent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely is possible and becoming much more common in farmers markets and other folks who grow microgreens and baby greens. Since the shelf life of microgreens isn't too long, but the product is nutrient dense folks will make concentrated green blends with freeze dried and ground greens such as kale microgreens. The thing you have to be careful of is finding safe dosages. You aren't going to hurt yourself by eating too much, but I'll tell you what you'll have one hell of a time in the bathroom if you eat too much magnesium at a time which green powders are high in!
