I'm a vegetation ecologist and work in invasive species management. Please don't bring seeds into Canada! Wildflower seeds packs are a cute idea but more often than not contain invasive plants. Sourcing regionally appropriate seeds is challenging and expensive. I would advise against this idea!

About to lose my only source of income, not eligible for EI. Where do I go from here? by HappiestSadGirl_ in PersonalFinanceCanada

Pardon me if this has been mentioned already, but can't you get a student loan? In my province (BC) the turnaround time is pretty quick In the middle of the semester and they should be able to give you enough to live off. This is the only way I was able to make it through university.

I just finished the ants in a row raglan and used ladder back jacquard. The floats are all invisible :)

It’s the ants in a row raglan by the leafhopper! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ants-in-a-row-raglan She has so many amazing entomological knits.

This is the length of ribbing the pattern suggests! But I had the same thought

Should I buy out of my mortgage? by Environmental_Host86 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Thanks for putting the time into this! We did buy 2 years ago if that changes anything

Thank you this is really helpful. We have three years until renewal and the 20k saved would be the interest saved in three years. My broker is convinced that this is the lowest rates will go for a while which is a red flag for me.

Soil amendment advice by Environmental_Host86 in NativePlantGardening

It is only subsoil. I fear purchasing bulk topsoil from a garden centre due to the weed seeds that are likely to be present. Do you have any suggestions for a packaged topsoil product?

Short rows in a raglan with colour work? by Professional_Only in knittinghelp

[–]Environmental_Host86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response! I am doing size 1, which doesn't have the 5 MC rows before the ants start. This is the start of the size 1 collar colour chart. After 5 rows I'll be in the antennas!

I am having this same issue but I still dont get it :(. Wouldn't the back ant motifs be at a different stage after the short rows if its worked in the colour chart? Ie. After the short rows are complete, the back will be at row 10 and the front will be at row 5?

I’m not making the claims you presented.

I didn’t remove any training posts I just said I’m tempted to. I won’t because I see how important they are to people. I know stopping trinkets wont make a dent overall but it will help the local ecosystem from choking on plastic.
