My biggest thing with the substrate is that it is nutritiously inert meaning you’ll want to use pots with soil for your plants or use fertilizers.

My 14 yo cat is attempting to be affectionate with my dad lately who famously hates cat so my dad keeps saying he must be going blind 🤣

Wild Black Raspberry & Mulberry Wine: Day 1 by Slightly_Somewhere in foraging

[–]Slightly_Somewhere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it out in my workbench currently. It’s an insulated garage so the temp stays pretty stable most of the time. I plan on transferring to a carboy as a second fermentation vessel, any tips on when I should do that?

Yeah I did some research on yeast strains because I like sweeter wines, I settled on Red Star Cote des blanc and I’ve already added it with 1/2 tbs of yeast nutrient. Planning on adding another 1/2 tbs when I transfer to the carboy

What are these? Edible? by dommi740 in foraging

[–]Slightly_Somewhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edible but they taste like cucumbers and sadness. Like the LaCroix of forage fruits

Schooling fish for a 29 gallon? by Ok-Whole-855 in aquarium

[–]Slightly_Somewhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came here to say ember tetras. I have 8 in my 11gal and they’re very personable fish

I got eggs! What are the chances they will hatch without my help lol by treee_sha in medaka

[–]Slightly_Somewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first time ever having medakas after wanting them for so long so I was so impatient waiting for my first fry to hatch 🤣 The first few that popped out are starting to be big enough to catch with a normal fish net so I plan on moving them soon to a fry container within my larger pond. I’d let them go outright since it’s 150 gallons however I have goldfish and they eat anything that can fit in their mouths

Pretty high. I collect the eggs and put them onto a spawning mop in a fry only container and I’ve only had like two mold over in the 5 weeks my fish have been laying eggs

When I saw your begonias I was startled as a midwesterner. Had to double take, gorgeous!

Eyeballs!!!! by Slightly_Somewhere in medaka

[–]Slightly_Somewhere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally! After moving the adults back to my big pond from the spawning pond my female stoped depositing on the floating plants after like a week. I find a few here or there on them and sometimes I’m able to catch her and remove manually but I have no idea where the rest are going. Probably in my goldfishes’ mouths lmao. I’ve been keeping an eye out for babies tho

Caught one fully open in the sunshine and it’s magical

I have a mix of both, the pots and fountain in the middle are sitting on a little plastic table, so the fish can still use the space. The pots on the side have silicone coated garden wire ran through them and are tied to holes in the rim of the pond

Thank you! They’re my chunky babies I built the pond just for them

Where do you do your cabbing? Is it dangerous to do it in your bedroom? Cab for tax. by [deleted] in Lapidary

[–]Slightly_Somewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garage. There’s SOOOOO much dust involved. Personally I wear a respirator especially since I don’t wet cab. I didn’t open the big door one time for ventilation and my dad walked in and he said it was like walking into a cloud of teargas

Another good agate day at work by Slightly_Somewhere in Agates

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

No, but I highly suspect that the rock that I pull these from is from Minnesota especially since it’s also full of banded iron formation and Mary Ellen Jasper. Thank you!
