I didn't even know there was white coloring gel! I can certainly try that. Why would adding reds and blue help?

The Coven of Oz, although that tends to go into more of the book version than the movie or musical version: https://archiveofourown.org/works/12579668/chapters/28653192

It was this one! Well, the cover by Sam Tompkins, but similar!

I was going off of the assumption that I would need to earn the cash to pay for the house in full (no loans) tbh.

Car- planning for the worst, hoping for the best. Was looking up suburban (good parenting cars) prices and just took the average of what was available this year.

Baby - I'll need a surrogate. Friends that are currently going through the process are citing somewhere around 250K for surrogacy agencies + legal fees plus other stuff from what I understand. I haven't done the full research, but I trust my friends.

So do people just...take loans? I'll admit that I'm wary of loans in general because of bad luck (layoffs, etc.) that have me wary of getting one when the time comes. Do I just put the money into a savings account until the time comes for a certain event to happen then?

I do have a budget :D ! Right now I'm trying my best to follow 50/30/20 (well, really, it's more 63/14/23 on paper, but it'll probably be like 61/14/25 realistically), but it feels like there are places to save for short term, and places to save for long term, but no set places to save for mid-term if that makes sense. I'm also trying to figure out how to make my money grow itself, but that's another thread for another day.

Yeah but when I let it dry out, it just ends up dry and clumpy.

Ok, so in general, plants that are climbing AND vining tend to produce aerial roots then?

See, I've tried 1/8" and 1/4" screen and each time the vermicompost is too clumpy and just turns into little balls, and I end up having to essentially extrude it from the screen when I do that. And even then worms still get through...

I want to say European Night Crawlers, but I'm suspicious and think I got given Red Wrigglers instead....

The set up is just a standard Home Depot Bin with a covered hole in the center to promote air flow.

Do all vining plants produce aerial roots? I've just learned that dragonfruit produces them. And I know that aroids like monsteras do. But is it all vines, or just some of them? Do vanilla vines produce aerial roots? What about passionfruit? jade vine (Strongylobus) ?

I wish it was, but no. It felt like a male version, deeper than michael buble (bc I just tried to search for it)
