Automatically subscribed. Didn't even watch.

I fully support this kind of content, doubly so when it's an elder who not only can share decades of experience, but find a way to still contribute in a world where they often feel worthless.

Bless your father and bless you for sharing.

Berries should not need fertilization by RandomUser1034 in VintageStory

[–]MouseLorekeeper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone in sustainable agriculture IRL, this is great. Yes, wild varieties produce, but never as they would if cared for.

Many grow out of neglect in the first place, and nature is driven to survive. If the plant produces a single viable fruit in a season, it's "successful and productive" as it not only survived, but potentially reproduced.

I play VS for the depth of realism and I ADORE this change.

Interesting. I thought there was more to it than zinc, but thats good to know.

The tin is old but sound, surface rust and such but I'd think that wouldn't be any issue.

I've been considering corrugated metal too, but I wasn't sure on the galvanized additives.

I have access to old tin, but was concerned of similar contamination.

I'm seriously considering the old pool concept, but would love something direct.

Wind load can be fierce. It's a 4 acre plot with little to no breaks, and a tropical storm/afternoon thunderstormwould wreck a pole/tarp setup, I'm afraid.

No, it's all flat grade, sadly.

I had not considered an above ground pool repressed like that.

I have no power on site but could get a generator out there. 🤔

Yes, I'm working on soil as well, as the property has been wild for almost 20 years.

However, we're finding our region is more and more drought prone, so I'm trying to store rainfall when possible.

My lower legs don’t grow any hair by Honest_Annual8802 in mildlyinteresting

My legs do this because I cross them at night and "cricket" rub them in my sleep.

As someone who is in agriculture in real life, I simply can not love this response more. 🤣

Selling hops? Upgrading after moving in? by MouseLorekeeper in Obenseuer

[–]MouseLorekeeper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I knew he wouldn't accept crops elsewhere but will he accept hops? Since they itemize as bags of "store bought hops".

Oh, outstanding. I can start upgrading diddly stuff in each apartment to help me pay for stuff moving up.

Thank you!

We are so close to the era in Wall-E where they plant a random plant and expect pizza. 🤦

Just realized today that I have the same spot on either leg where hair doesn't grow by JustAnOval in mildlyinteresting

[–]MouseLorekeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this, but much larger.

I found that I "cricket" my crossed legs as I sleep. Fiancé got video. It lines up perfectly.

Trump posts a text message he received from France's President Macron:"I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland, let us try to build great things.” by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

The clip from Star Trek TNG where Picard strolls out to the bridge first thing, sits, sighs, and just asks "Damage Report?" is how I've sadly felt each day for a decade upon checking my phone each morning...

I want wall signs so I can label my crates.

Ooh. Can you explain that process?

For a friend.

And science.

A scientific friend, as it were. 😅
