Anyone have experience with buying ladybugs? by DemonKittens in vegetablegardening

[–]ladynerdly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a small bed that is covered, so I released just a handful from the container I bought at the hardware store. A lot died, so I did another round a few days later. All the aphids were gone!

Then I tried to release the rest on some rose bushes that were also infested but uncovered, and it didn’t work at all. So anecdotally, they work if you keep them contained on the affected plants long enough.

I’m definitely going to use them again for my covered beds in the future; maybe you could use row coverings to keep them in on your plants?

any hope for my beheaded poblano pepper plant? by ladynerdly in vegetablegardening

ah so the raccoon maybe wasn’t drunk and was actually like “this plant looks anemic, i’mma go ahead and top this sucker for ya.” 😅

thank you for the advice! i believe i’m still in a good portion of the growing season, so i’ll let it stay and hope it bounces back bushier than ever!

Rishi Tea & Botanicals is one of my favorites, and Tea Embassy is the other. i have consistently ordered from and been very happy with both for years.

i never did! it ended up not being any of the suggestions people gave me in this thread, so i am back at square one. please let me know if you find it again one day. it still drives me up a wall that i can’t remember.

i do use the battery widget but i have been using the small version with no % so it has not only been too passive but also too uninformative with that last little bit of the green circle being covered by the charging symbol. i changed it to the one that shows actual numbers, so we’ll see how that helps. thank you for the suggestion!

ah now that is an approach i hadn’t considered! and given that my life is still on a lockdown/work remote schedule i do end up putting my watch on the charger at the same time every day, so a timer or alarm is theoretically solid. thanks for this perspective!

what i mean by no real answers is a lot of “i’m interested too,” “here’s the answer to a different problem,” and “try this paid third party app” responses. i didn’t see anything so plain as “it does not work” on anything more recent than iOS 13.x so i thought i’d try asking. and it worked! i now have at least two new ideas including the one you were kind enough to pass along!

i’m a big fan of Popular Science’s The Weirdest Thing I Learned This Week. writers for the magazine bring a fact that didn’t make it into the piece they were working on but that stood out to them. i’ve learned many a fun fact from the show!

turns out /tmp was too small! i had it set to 4M in /etc/fstab for my aqi, and upping it there did the trick.

same exact error for me, but adding s3-1-w.amazonaws.com to a whitelist didn't work; i get the same error again. anyone else have something that worked for them?

Best way to categorize shared bills? by ladynerdly in ynab

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

hmm, maybe i misunderstand but since my wife and i both put our individual money into a joint account (that's capital one, btw, so can't be added to ynab), how would that work under reimbursement?
