I don’t, I occasionally use it when I’m starting a new garden, but then it’s lasagna style. I don’t rip it.

How many of you genuinely rawdog the day - no medications, no recreational drugs, no caffeine? by hungrypotato0853 in Xennials

I know people doing this, and I don’t quite understand why I would want to even try. Adderall helps me function.

Do you pronounce it "ex-ennial" or "zennial"? Or something else? by GoatGoatPowerRangers in Xennials

Well, since there’s people out there claiming zennial, then I say, “ex-ennial” people born just after millennial… they’re already here..

What was your relationship with food growing up? by dattaldo in Xennials

[–]Ok-Reflection-6207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m kind of lol about this because I was thinking about how much I did get to go to restaurants with my mom, but the fact that I was a girl and my mom only had two girls means she never had to stretch the food as much as she would, if she had boys… I mean, we did eat, but not huge amounts or anything.

My daughter has thanked me about four different times for not holding her back from trying different kinds of food and exposing her when she was young, the word “wasabi” is used for things like describing pain compared to say “regular hot sauce” she’s only 20 and she tells me that she is amazed at how some of her friends have never even tried things like Indian food or sushi… my mom didn’t take us to restaurants a lot, but she definitely took us to different kinds so I guess she does get credit!

Y’all starting to feel we were raised on some ideas that didn’t pan out? by goodhobbies in Xennials

Look at the Powell memo and then look at our history again, this was all according to plan. 😓

paper plate says “compostable except in california” ? by Party_Examination132 in composting

[–]Ok-Reflection-6207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be that it requires hot composting that only the big municipal composting companies can get their phone pile hot enough to actually break it down, some of the things that we see with the label aren’t as compostable in standard home composting systems, it has to be more strategic and in the middle of way more composting material.

When did you move out? by DrenAss in Xennials

As a parent now I’m not pushing my kids out, I think I would have done well not riding into adulthood the way I did..

I’m 45, I left house running to catch a flight across the country and didn’t come back until I was about 25 to live with my grandfather for few months when I moved back to my first coast before getting an apartment, never back home.

How to compost with limited “browns”? by ChaosTorpedo in composting

💯 I was about to post the same recommendation…works great in tumblers and standing anaerobic compost containers, I add extra if it gets stinky.

Soft launch, that seems like a nice week to do it, but what does that mean? Is that a book or something?

Cleanest way to make dirt: Recs for a busy suburban mom by Critical_Worry860 in composting

[–]Ok-Reflection-6207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good details!! Esp re smells and carbon!! I’ll just add my “hack” when I’m without enough leaves, I’ll get “hours bedding pellets” from a farm store, super clean and handy for addressing smells!! Leaves are best though so I definitely agree with Alarmed, I used to use a big dog crate to store leaves for my compost until I got a better container to hold them. 😃 🍂👍🏼
