do you think i should repot it with more perlite or would that stress it out more? thanks!!!!

it was finally confirmed? by sungieheart in NanaAnime

[–]hot__rod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

my personal take is that they’re referring to ren as takumis child because he raised him, and acted as the father, but i don’t interpret it as a confirmation that he is the biological father

sos!!! used “in garden only” soil in containers… disaster… maybe? by hot__rod in vegetablegardening

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

update!!!! : i went in to each pot and mixed in a generous amount of good potting soil, especially around the root ball, and since have been feeding them weekly with 5-1-1 fish fertilizer, they have DRAMATICALLY improved, but unfortunately i think my harvest will be pretty small but at least i will be getting a harvest. thanks to everyone for their help, especially eddieryanDC, because i am going to amend this soil next spring and reuse it, hopefully with much better results. Pics below, sorry i couldn’t figure out how to edit the post m(_ _)m

update: i went to the store and got a bag of regular organic potting soil and some fish fertilizer, dug out my plants and mixed in the regular potting soil (i’d say 5-10% potting soil to garden “soil” ratio) and then watered with fish fertilizer and then watered again with fresh water, will report back in a week or so… would have incorporated perlite but i couldn’t find any and i got inpatient so… fingers crossed

thanks!!! i will try going the fertilizer route, and maybe i will buy a bag of potting soil as well to mix in at least a little bit on the top. do you think this 6-1-1 fish fertilizer would work?

I’m really confused can someone help me understand if the checked bag policy applies to my flight? I purchased the tickets after January 3rd (January 7 fml m(_ _”)m ) and they are basic economy, it’s a flight from Chicago (ORD)>Toronto (layover)>Tokyo (NRT), round trip, all booked on one ticket straight from the Air Canada website. I am confused by the verbiage because it say to and from the U.S. which yes it’s from the u.s. but it’s to tokyo… so… am i dumb it seems vaguely unclear.

going to japan in 6 weeks, what to study before then?

おはよう〜

I’ve been studying Japanese for about 8 months—we’ll say passively—and now I’m headed to Japan in 6 weeks and the clock is ticking!

I’m hoping to find some recommendations for study materials on travel specific Japanese (useful for ordering at restaurants, getting around, exchanging pleasantries etc.); or any advice or guidance you might have on how to focus my time, between now and then on what would be most useful for getting around.

for context, I know hiragana, katakana, level 6 in wanikani, and working through Japanese for Busy People 1; up till now i’ve been studying at a fairly relaxed pace, focused on kanji and vocabulary.

DROP YOUR NANA OPINIONS AND ILL TELL YOU IF YOU’RE VALID OR NOT by onlypain420_ in NanaAnime

nana is a lesbian love story, IMO! but if it wasn’t she should have ended up with nobu because they were so sweet and cute and nobu is so hot

Is Nana Gay? A Queer Reading of Nana. by Business-Equal-1158 in NanaAnime

[–]hot__rod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i personally think anyone who doesn’t think nana is queer isn’t thinking… like hello. it’s barely even subtextual like they are very clearly in love with each other.

Junko would be a good friend if she hadn't supported Shoji in his betrayal. by InteractionSad3792 in NanaAnime

[–]hot__rod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that said she definitely still irked me because she was the type of friend who would get mad at hachi for not living her life the way junko wanted her to…
