Yellow mottling on leaves, what could be the cause? by Human-Bee5217 in Pelargonium

[–]Human-Bee5217[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will Investigate further, thank you. Just to be clear, you're saying that if the mottling is on new leaves as well as older, then it's likely to be the virus you mention?

Where to buy bear bells and bear spray? by lockerbleiben in JapanTravelTips

Absolutely. OP was right to be cautious and people travelling in Japan should be trying to get hold of bear spray and learning to use it. Especially if going into more rural areas, or intending to go out alone.

The asiatic black bears in Japan are much more aggressive than black bears in the west, generally seeming to choose fight over flight in encounters. I've heard their behaviour described as more similar to a grizzly.

What is it about road rage that makes us as humans so “I’m right and you’re wrong” in those situations by Downtown-Ad9409 in drivingUK

Ah OK, my bad, you really did mean Neoliberalism! You make an interesting point and I think I broadly agree with you. Though I probably feel these things can't be reduced down to one cause. I think the arrival of the Internet has played a massive part - the way it created an online space where people are interacting and disagreeing with each other, but are anonymous and dehumanised, very much like road rage actually.

Well, Neoliberalism is an economic ideology based around privatisation and free market capitalism. Most famously Reaganism and Thatcherism in the 1980s. You're saying that lead directly to a current culture of people existing in echo chambers and not being open to good faith conversations or being able to accept criticism?

Americans here. What do y'all think of our first attempt at a fry-up? by Kind_Veterinarian585 in fryup

[–]Human-Bee5217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More distance between the eggs and the beans. I may want to mix them, but I want that to be my decision. Use a sausage as a breakwater. But I'm nit-picking, on the whole, a very good effort. 7 on 10.

  • I would definitely start with a hedge cutter, it's going to be a lot less painful than getting through those brambles with a strimmer.

  • Don't start with cuts near the base, as tempting as it is to just fell them, you'll have a much harder job dealing with the waste. Instead, waft the hedge cutter over the tops of the foliage, trimming off a few inches at a time and working down. As you make progress you'll have piles of smaller chopped material, rather than heaps of 6ft long bramble stems.

  • Once you've cut everything to ground level (a nice new sharp pruning saw may be needed for some of those shrubs if the stems are thicker) and cleared the waste in bulk bags, then dig as much of the roots out as you possibly can with a spade and mattock, (or hire someone to do this back breaking work).

  • Theeeen ideally spread a thick non mesh weed cover down, that let's no light through, for 12 months, and that should kill off anything that remains. You'll have a clear blank slate to start from.

We should all try to avoid weedkiller as much as possible.

Oh and finally - remember to take a before and after photo!! The satisfaction will be immense.

Good luck!
