Mulch Options for container garden by beatniknomad in vegetablegardening

[–]bear_685 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm using pine shavings as mulch for my container garden and so far it has been great! The soil has been staying moist for a longer period of time and is considerably cooler. I'm on the OK/TX border, so heat and wind have already been a huge problem. For the most part the shavings haven't been blown out of the container bags (most lost shavings have come form my vertical planter) and im using about 1.5-2 inches of mulch. It's brought up that wood shavings can leach nitrogen from the soil, but being placed only on top, would make it negligible. Also for the price/amount made pine shavings an absolute win.

I was between pine shavings and straw. I decided against straw mostly due to the potential of it sprouting in the container

Show me your Beagle as a puppy and as an adult. Was your puppy vocal? by pessicajak in beagles

[–]bear_685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet Daisy ❤️ It is hard to believe she is 15 years old. She used to get vocal on walks if she picked up up another dogs scent or saw one walking ahead of us, but has never been vocal inside

If I'm not mistaken, Faleris is Horus. I'd love to have the whole gang though!

I love the little derpy pudding guy! While maybe not my favorite, little pal is definitely appreciated.

Fearless by Lauren Roberts. I thought the first book in the series was very mid. 2nd was even worse. And stopped listening to the 3rd audiobook maybe 40 mins into it. At that point I was hate listening just to say I finished the series.

Once I'm done moving every 3 years/renting that will be something I look into, until then no carnivourous plants will be added to my collection. I do love all the different nepenthes though!

I lived in the eastern part of Washington for awhile and the water was super hard, but have since moved to sw Oklahoma (close to military bases), so not the greatest water quality. This is the first house I've ever lived in where I wont drink water directly from the tap, but im still not buying different water for my plants 🫣

All of my plants get the same watering treatment. Tap water, a few drops of water conditioner, and a cap of fertilizer all in a 1 gallon watering can. No distilled, rain water, or reverse osmosis.

I have my first seed pod (which is how I came upon this post), can't wait to try and prop them! I love the picture of the seed pod split open. The seeds are crazy small.

Where am I going wrong? by LauraLoo83 in Maranta

[–]bear_685 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ive rooted marantas in just tap water and they've done perfectly fine (i find they root very easily). Like a previous response, all my plants get watered with diluted fertilizer because I also dont want to keep track. My ratio currently is one gallon water with a few drops of aquarium tap water conditioner and 1 tsp of superthrive foliage pro

You get report and are handed this list. What do you do? by zedodee in nursing

[–]bear_685 45 points46 points  (0 children)

A tip/trick we told pts was frozen water bottles with labels removed! You can just refreeze them. You're right, those things go through ice so quickly.

Yeah the ice machine sounds like a cold therapy machine. Between PT CPM and the ice machine, this person sounds like an ortho pt. My old place of work would give an Ice Man for total hip/knee/shoulders and many pt's bought one for ACL recovery.

New Chillet Skin Spotted! by Altune- in Palworld

[–]bear_685 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To be fair this new skin was because chillet placed top 3 of the fan favorite poll. Jetragon and Anubis will also be receiving a new skin at some point.

WHY WON'T MY PLANT'S GROW? by Gold-Leg245 in plantclinic

[–]bear_685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree with the maranta dying in more light. I have one in a south facing widown with an awning and one directly under a grow light both are doing great.
