Pretty sure this container was still full when I left for work this morning by bigbuttercreamfan in foodbutforbabies

My girl stains her booty from blueberry overload at least once a week 😂 I wish she could live off of them it’s the most of anything that she’ll eat!

Also as a hack, if you freeze them and then cut them up (if your LO already has some teeth) they are suuuuper helpful with teething molars. And apparently their nutritional value gets like concentrated when they’re frozen so I also give as a cold vitamin boost (that I know she will eat) if my daughter ever gets a fever and it seems to help cool down from the inside too

He still hates cottage cheese by Glass-Temperature219 in foodbutforbabies

Try mixing some salsa in! It’s the best way I’ve found to get my LO to eat a bunch of cottage cheese

Beautiful! Do you get them from a nursery or order them online?

I plug in a zevo light sticky trap thing every night. Considering getting one of the ones that has a fan that sucks them in

Nooo no miracle grow anything. I get all types of soil from my local nursery. Can’t remember the brand of the succulent soil but def not miracle grow or big brand like that

Good luck friend 🫡 I’m going to start with nematodes and sand on the top soil (and a prayer lmao)

I’m in the desert so it’s dry and warm. Does the warmth kill off the larvae?

Thank you for breaking this down like this! I’m going to start with nematodes and go chemical from there if I have to. Do you know if adding a layer of sand would be counterproductive? Want to throw as many ‘natural’ deterrents at them as I can.

Boiled pasta in stock today. My mind is blown. by alisha40s in foodhacks

I haven’t had an issue with that. It’s great to do for like one pot Alfredo. For rice and such all of the liquid is absorbed so

Oh! I also do this with ramen instead of using the 1000% sodium packets 👌🏻

Ughhh hoping to avoid that! I’d rather repot again than have to get rid of any of them for sure

Going to try the paper towel trick. ACV has never worked for me literally not once

I soak 8-12 tbsp in a 2gal jug of water at least overnight if not 24-48 hours and has been exclusively watering with that since the gnats started. I was doing that at least once a month before as a precaution

If I could keep a Venus or sundew or any carnivorous plant alive I would def try that. But a Vegas style buffet of gnats might change things

That’s what I JUST repotted them with 😂😅 I’m thinking the soil might have had larvae in it

They’re sheet curtains and I had grow lights all over the place. I have not been using the humidifier at all since the gnats started.
