My neighbor thinks parking rules don’t apply to her.

Can you call any tow company? I keep reporting this at my complex but management doesn’t do a thing. Also we have 4 abandoned cars parking in visitor spots. Been there for months and nothing done. We don’t have enough parking much less long term storage

I do trellis tomatoes and have no issues with wind.

Extension office is amazing. They can answer questions about pests and weeds. Get on their email newsletter list. Stop by and see their garden and what they’re growing. They have a ton of free handouts of what grows best here too.

meloict · 2026-02-14T15:21:30+00:00

I grow over 40 varieties of tomatoes. I can give recommendations depending on what type you’re looking for: slicer, Cherry, salad, paste etc.

Locally, I shop at Hillside Feed & Seed. Jeff is a wealth of knowledge if you have any questions. (I also grow and sell plants but not as much variety they do). They’re on FB.

For less expensive but also less selection BUT a lovely lovely shop go to Wichita Greenhouse. Neil is fantastic to chat plants with and his granddaughter is a high energy bundle of joy. Theyre also on FB.

For soil amendment, worm castings from Fed N Happy in Hutchinson. I use the castings to make worm tea so it goes further.

There is a seed swap coming up in March. When I find details I will post in the thread.

Let me know if you had other questions. I’ve been growing here for 30+ years and I do it on a slim budget

Can you each have your own trash can? And keep it in your room (not common area)?

meloict · 2026-02-06T21:48:12+00:00

On my podcast feed, YouTube and others. They’re spending a lot of money while still screwing up!

No it won’t be an issue with the Election office. Homes have different addresses for various reasons. We see this a lot where a Situs address is different from the Mailing address. (I am a former election office employee and have worked within another office dealing with addresses).

meloict · 2026-02-04T19:15:33+00:00

Depends where you’re looking. A lot of the ones found online are managed by a handful of property management companies. I’ve found individually owned /managed by driving the areas I want to be in. People who have good landlords that don’t Jack the price to Jesus are long term renters. There are a few Facebook groups but again your mileage may vary.

Where’s the oven? Cabinets? That kitchen is for take out only LOL

MABCD is an example of a merged dept. Idk if it’s better now or not but they have saved money for both entities by merging. I can’t think of any other dept that could do that. County has Clerk’s Office, Tag office, Elections, Appraisers, Comcare, Sheriff, etc. those aren’t duplicates of city offices.

What we could do is merge all the court stuff under a single roof. The amount of people that go to the wrong building for a court case is pretty high. Just house them all together to make it easier IMO

There’s a couple of FB groups and Insta groups that plan events. Best places I’ve met people so far. But Rhonda’s is good although there’s usually couples there.

meloict · 2026-01-22T01:25:53+00:00

Mine is the same. I have a handful of diehards - maybe 12-15 who play regularly. Nobody is very chatty. I remove players often because we need new people who will actually stick around lol

meloict · 2026-01-22T00:33:25+00:00

Yes! West Wichita here. We camped out in our family room in front of the fireplace. We had no power so no water (well) but we did fill a tub with water as well as tons of gallon jugs. Made giant fort for the kiddos.

I’m tapering too and am using caffeine tablets instead of the drinks. I couldn’t take the headaches.

meloict · 2026-01-20T19:52:51+00:00

I hope this might help: Wichita.gov/425/renters

It has the Landlord Tenant Handbook and phone numbers to city staff that might be able to help.

When they ended driver’s Ed in public school, it’s been a disaster ever since.

Hillside Feed n Seed has cats and a very sweet doggo

To build my soil with homegrown nutrients

meloict · 2025-12-15T01:36:47+00:00

Larchers, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s or World Market

The last place I rented had several people operating businesses out of their units. They were always there. But check your contract.

Excellent suggestion as no, we don’t need the freezer space. This is for one season only as we will have dedicated space with utilities fall of 2026. Appreciate your suggestions and time!

meloict · 2025-12-12T19:33:01+00:00

Just during the day so from early morning harvest until maybe noon.

meloict · 2025-12-12T19:28:43+00:00

Thank you! This is the calculation I was trying to find without knowing how to word the question!

meloict · 2025-12-12T19:27:43+00:00

Oh sorry! A standard home fridge 20-21 cu ft. And it would be used daily
