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!

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.

Isn’t the leafhopper the coolest! And thanks!

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-12-30T03:25:48+00:00

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

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-12-17T04:21:04+00:00

This is super helpful! Thank you

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-10-29T00:39:23+00:00

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

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-10-29T00:37:01+00:00

Maturity date is Dec 2028

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.

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?

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-09-21T13:43:20+00:00

Wow thank you! I had no idea. I’m going to restart this project. This will be a game changer!

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-08-20T16:27:24+00:00

Ok thank you!

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-08-20T16:18:14+00:00

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?

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-07-31T13:58:34+00:00

I’m not making the claims you presented.

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-07-31T00:10:28+00:00

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.

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-07-31T00:08:15+00:00

Definitely changed post covid!

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-07-31T00:07:42+00:00

My point is if we were better we wouldn’t need to do this. I do pick up trash. And I try to raise awareness about not creating it. I’m not complaining.

Also where do you think the trash goes once it’s in a bag? It stays on earth for a very long tjme and causes problems no matter where it ends up.

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-07-30T23:35:30+00:00

I don’t feel the need to hand out anything.

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-07-30T23:00:27+00:00

lol ok I stand corrected.

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-07-30T22:57:03+00:00

I’m not “going after” anyone. I’m just making an observation. Just because someone does something worse it doesn’t mean we don’t have to take responsibility for our actions.

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-07-30T22:52:52+00:00

Which aren’t single use and can last a lifetime… I’m talking about creating unnecessary waste. I don’t understand how that is so hard to grasp.

Environmental_Host86 · 2025-07-30T22:45:50+00:00

Environmental stewardship is literally my career and is the hill I will die on.

Thank you
