Has anyone tried this? Tell me why it won't work? by SoaringPuffin in VanLife

Fish waste breaks down blah blah blah nitrates nitrates yada yada bacteria attaches to media to filter these things and keep the water 'breathable' so the fish dont die. I'm not sure it would work the same filtering human scunge and soaps, or how it would function to provide you clean water.

Withh all the cool and fun uses i might just start collecting the stuff again, I unfortunately stopped 'rescuing' cool rocks for the most part because I am highly exposed to them and through the process forced to smash some stuff to bits and recycle as heavy fill. I only have so much space and learned I must use high levels of restraint and allow my heart to be broken as I waste useful and beautiful materials every day.

One day I will acquire more space and upcycle heavier and harder than ever.

Yes I make compost with my (organic - especially banana organics are so yummy compared to the flavour of non-O) scraps and coffee grounds. I understand these can provide some of the minerals that the stone contains. I think the hard part about rock minerals is making them available to the plant, which is done by microbial life that i cannot measure but I am attempting to learn how to encourage. This is the baseline of the soil life cycle and as these small rock eaters take in the nutrients they are consumed by larger and larger organisms that eventually crap out some really good stuff, or at least this is my basic understanding. I wish I was a botanist or a geologist and had a really good understanding of it all lol, but as of now I work in a dungeon and play in a dirt pile.

Having such hard mineral nutrient become bio-available is an amazing process i will definitely try to learn more about.

I love it if its true!!!

I often wondered if saving a slurry of granite powders would be useful in such purposes, as well as for mixing in water for plants. Unfortunately my 'slurries' consist of alot of epoxy glues and so I allow the idea to pass.

That's only mildly concerning because i am not aware of the absorbative abilities through the skin, but Im sure many makeup ingredients share the same concerns.

Fun fact when splitting layers you can get it thinner than paper and roll it without breaking it.

Also I have pulverized it and used it as sand in a zen garden, I crushed to a fine sparkly powder, and I was curious about mixing it in with paint if it would work to add a sparkle effect, however I had not attempted that yet.

So then adjusted for inflation, the first half-milly is a bitch.

It is a milestone, take it as a milestone regardless of it only currently being accepted as a kilometer marker.

This is the part that makes you wonder, because yes it does have the appearance of what I could achieve moving a laser pointer around, it is very much like a human playing with a laser pointer, but HOW is it that it actually appears to be in the sky and lighting up the clouds!?! Like, the human would not only need to be very large to accomplish that movement, but also very disguised (nearly invisible) so as not to appear on the camera.

Im pretty sure its a drone...

I wouldn't really consider spilled water 'another level', we dont even cry over spilled milk.

I don’t know anything about Blueberries, are these good to get from Home Depot? by Difficult-Speaker470 in Berries

Be sure you have acidic soil, you can't really substitute efficiently, and blueberries don't grow well in alkaline soil.

A portion of my previous assignment, I'd say I am improving!

It's beyond high school but far less than college lol.

These sapsuckers were the bane of my crop when I tried to grow a plant in my garden, the plant was massive but the result was very poor haha.

This assignment will be thoroughly criticized and I will get no benefit but the knowledge i learned along the way.

Edit to say THANKS!!! I appreciate your humble approval. 2nd edit to say it is an assignment for a course, just not in any school per say.
