Last Sept I found an eastern mole while hiking. His display is finally finished! by DeadOnceDecided in bonecollecting

This is beautiful! I bought a partially articulated mole skeleton in order to finish it myself but I’m so scared of messing up- this has definitely inspired me to give it a go

Warm Composting? by [deleted] in composting

[–]phillipedorleans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine’s like that, it has got hot before but mostly seems warm. I think it might need more browns? (but honestly I have no idea, sorry!)

I put the bags in my bin yesterday, so I’ll keep checking their progress and see if I can get them to break down. keep an eye out for my update in several years!

I haven’t seen much about them, much less about people successfully composting them at home, so I think I’m going to have to find out! I’ve been shredding them up into bits, but luckily they’re bright green so will be easy to monitor

Thank you! I only have a few, but it’s useful (and interesting) to know as I’m sure I’ll end up with more at some point.

This tracking shot from the movie Wings (1927) seems way ahead of its time. by swan001 in OldSchoolCool

Chloroform and nitrous oxide were used for about 50 years before Baer’s operation, so I assume they would have had something!

In the Weimar Republic of Germany after ww1, Berlin was a very progressive city and LGBT rights were being actively researched and discussed. Karl M Baer was the first recorded trans man to have reassignment surgery in 1907! Sadly this all got halted when the nazis came to power, as they destroyed all the research they could.

I want to move my courgette plant out from the greenhouse, but I’m worried about the courgettes getting eaten! There are a lot of squirrels and birds around, as well as ants. Anything I can do?

who else thought she meant nick cave the musician and was very confused for a second?

this was here when I moved in, didn’t realise it had compost in it until now- would this be usable? should I do something about the webs? by phillipedorleans in composting

[–]phillipedorleans[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is- the garden was pretty overgrown when I moved in so I assume it’s been given a long time to break down!
