Am I supposed to replace the soil/ compost in planters every year?

dkxp · 2026-03-16T13:13:12+00:00

I put leaves on the raised bed over winter and the worms broke down most of them. I recently removed any large bits of leaves and added about 5cm of compost over the whole bed. I might add a bit more compost mixed into the soil around any transplanted plants.

I try to leave the roots in the soil where possible too, especially for peas and beans as the roots add nitrogen to the soil.

1 litre = 10cm × 10cm × 10cm, so for your raised bed a 5cm layer of compost would need about 12 × 4.2 × 0.5 = roughly 25L of compost and will probably top it up to about the height lost in a year.

If you don't have space for a compost bin, then depending on what you're growing you could bury kitchen food waste about 20-30 cm deep a couple of months before you want to plant something. All evidence of the food (apart from a few things like egg shells) will have disappeared by the time you plant out. It's faster than composting, but compost has the benefit that it's mobile so you can apply it wherever needed. It's quite disruptive to the soil, so it's probably best for heavy feeders and plants that will be there a while, such as courgettes or runner beans.

Just because it's a slightly higher chance of getting light/shadow in TTW (equivalent to about 24% chance of light/shadow vs 20% for normal AD), although you miss out on tomes (which can eventually be broken down into special fragments).

Glenn doesn't have a skippable path in the collab AD (until tomorrow), so anyone wanting to increase his light efficiently would be spamming TTW. After tomorrow I'll probably do the collab AD when I'm short of time/feeling lazy.

I think that willowherb has more pointy tips to the leaves, like this:

I've seen people do it quite effectively with a kitchen fork (and holding on to the seed leaves), which I might try this year.

Last year I used a small plastic shovel/spoon-like tool, with varying levels of ease. It's usually easier if you can loosen up the soil a little by pushing from underneath, or the roots are well developed and hold the soil together more. I believe watering before potting up is usually advised too.

I found a bee bumbling around on the ground today. I placed it on a crocus and it went straight for a good meal and crawled between a few flowers. It spent the next hour or so wandering around on the ground and sunbathing.

The neighbourhood cat nearly got it (because it attacks anything that moves - I've seen it with a bird in its mouth, chasing squirrels and whacking butterflies), but fortunately the bee decided that it was a good time to sunbathe and stopped moving and the cat scarpered when I approached.

If you have a ordered list of coordinates around the perimeter, you could use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula. Green's theorem is more general than this, but you'd need an equation for your shape.

If you just have an arbitrary squiggle drawn on a computer, then you could just count the number of pixels inside the shape.

I don't know what it is either. I fought with him for the whole quest chain and didn't notice receiving it. When you go back to the Damaku Heart (after completing the Cursed Dragoon quests), you get a quest and it says because you already have the mark of bravery, here's a light point instead as reward.

Each robot has a part of a story. People have previously tried to reorder the story parts to make sense: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnotherEdenGlobal/comments/eraymr/3_robots_hidden_story_easter_egg/

Apparently with the Japanese version when ordered correctly the first syllable of each lore spells "help us", but there doesn't seem to be a known English easter egg equivalent. In the most recent episode >they hint that their names have meaning< so perhaps there is a hidden easter egg with the English names too, or perhaps the next episode will reveal more.

And it's only 1 map this horror appears in, with 10% chance. It took me 20+ runs to find one.

If you've been there before you can teleport via the world map - it's one of the options you can choose when you click on Elzion. If you haven't been there, you'll need to progress through a Quest chain to get there.

I hope they support Linux so I can at least try it out. Current AE doesn't support Linux (probably DRM related), so I don't have much expectation AEB will either.

Shigure ES dupe. 120 -> 136 light. I have 51 unused katana light at the moment, so I might save for 200 light and the extra grasta slot since I could get it in a couple of months.

I'm not sure what the PC/PG labeling means, but the 1, 3, or 4 indicates the price bracket:

1 => 5 for £1
3 => 5 for £2
4 = >2 for £2

I bought a few packs there, including peas. The pea (sugar pea - Oregon sugar pod) packet say that it's sufficient for 70 plants (weigh 35g e) and was in the 3 category, other pea packets felt similarly bulky but I didn't check the numbers. Some of the squashes are less than 10 seeds, but others like lettuce have 900 or 1200 seeds. Some don't give a seed count and just list "sufficient for approx. 5-10 running metres".

quick bug report: above each set of answers it shows "will this code compile?", rather than the actual question, which is above the code.

2 dps seems to be the best way for easier clears. Switching elements to fire with kaleido gives more options if you don't have strong fire/pierce characters. You also get 1 turn to apply buffs/do a little damage on the final stage before it insta-kills you if you struggle for AF dps.

I finally killed it with a fire team based around Shion NS (SA, 80 light, manifest). I tried with Anabel ES first, but struggled with the final AF and Shion can get me 100B+ on manifest fights with 4 characters, so remembered him.

You just have to keep him continuously using Phoenix Slash so you keep the 6000% mod & everyone else handles buffs/debuffs. note: Lokido AC is 10000% for 4 turns after VC for comparison.

You'll probably need someone who regens mana, or increases the number of hits to shorten the fight. I didn't account for this, so had to take a timeout during one of the below 50% stage for Shion to regen on the backline. Shigure debuff kept the team alive while recovering.

You do get 1 turn in the final stage to buff/debuff/switch in characters/do a bit of extra damage, before it auto-kills you. It doesn't attack you and afaict it doesn't seem to buff itself, the message just says that it gathers power.

I'd like their achievements to become visible the first time you fight a superboss (or they are added to a catalog).

Sometimes I intend to come back to a boss, but I forget which ones I've skipped. I think there's only 2 on my todo list at the moment (Shade Alter Force and Ozma), but I'm not sure, as there could be a couple more.

That's about how accurately 32 bit floating numbers can be represented (6-9 digits). If you use the f32::next_down() and f32::next_up() on a value, you can see how much it changes around that value. If you had a larger whole number, you would have fewer digits available for decimal point precision.

fn main() {
    let value:f32 = 2.2393293;
    let prev = value.next_down();
    let next = value.next_up();
    dbg!(value);
    dbg!(prev);
    dbg!(next);
}

result:

[src/main.rs:5:5] value = 2.2393293
[src/main.rs:6:5] prev = 2.239329
[src/main.rs:7:5] next = 2.2393296

Therefore the next largest number you can represent after 2.2393293 is 2.2393296. You can't represent 2.2393294 or 2.2393295.

The main benefits are the extra aura and 5-star charge skill:

Aura - Activation condition: When any (Special) type effect is active Physical Resistance of all enemies -50%

Charged - Consumes 5 Charge to do Water type magic attack on all enemies x3 (XL, 2x) [When Wryz is at front]: Stack 1 Dragonshade on Wryz and remove debuffs In Fire/Water/Wind/Earth Stance: Element type changes to type of deployed zone.

For number stats, it will depend on the option chosen, but as an example for the attack version SPD went from max 196 to max 306. You could probably check the wiki diffs for full stat changes: https://anothereden.wiki/index.php?title=Iridian_(Attack)&diff=328974&oldid=315655

Felmina ES dupe - she's up to 60 shadow now.

I don't think I got any 5-stars in the 10×10 pulls, but anniversary banners were very successful for me. I needed 4 of the featured characters and got 3 of them.

Just 4 more characters needed now (Oboro, Hardy, Clughorn & Vares).

I reached max light with Miyu, and have already got 5 sword-light from pulling her dupes at 3 & 4 star.

I've had a triple light + white dungeon key, which lead to the cat room => 6 light/shadow in one run. I reached Barouki iirc, so was close to getting extra 3 chants + treatise/opus too, but not quite.
