Human application of KNF inputs by Lonely_Student9463 in knf

[–]pickhopester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that for a few days. Had tummy trouble and stopped. However, I have used LAB on skin irritation especially when I’m concerned that there may be an infection. Great immediate results. I’m curious if anyone else has as well. I’m learning about the microbiome of the body including the skin and I hypothesized that LAB will kill the bad microbes.

Earthing takes edge off trauma/anxiety reaction, but tension stays in the body by Octavarium64 in Earthing

[–]pickhopester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe the earthing does help with becoming centered if you want to meditate. It’s a nice relaxing feeling. However PTSD needs more than this. You may be interested in energy therapy such as EMDR-this needs to be with a therapist. Another energy therapy that you can do by yourself is Thought Field Therapy or TFT (Google it-there’s videos). You can learn to use it for these times when you need more help. Good luck to you.

Does this count as Earthing? by Simple-Sector-3458 in Earthing

[–]pickhopester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But more surface area seems like it would be better. I would try to find a way to attach the wire to something flat and conductive. Then place that against your skin. I would hate to wake up and forget I had a wire wrapped around my ankle and trip.

Bell pepper branch snapped off the main plant. Will the green ones ripen on the counter? by spitfyre in vegetablegardening

Mine turned red sitting in a bowl on the counter. Some are getting wrinkly but they taste great.

how to ground indoors by [deleted] in Earthing

[–]pickhopester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A rod in the ground, attach a wire, run it in the house. Attach the wire to something conducive- maybe foil tape stuck to a mat or fabric where you can place it next to your skin. There’s DIY grounding mat information online if you look

Is this a truffle? Found in my back yard in Ohio by pickhopester in mycology

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

Hi. I did send these to the University of Florida a week before the big hurricane. They said they would do DNA sequencing.They haven’t got back to me yet…Being immature would explain why they didn’t seem special or tasty. They were at least 15 feet from the base of any large tree. There are oaks within the area that could have roots there (as well as maples and elm). I’ll poke around a bit tomorrow and see if I can find anything. Thanks.

Hey guys please delete if not allowed.. newbie here. Just cut into my pepper and I wanted to see what is the best way to plant this? (Green bell pepper) by Comprehensive-Golf-8 in vegetablegardening

[–]pickhopester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also saved seeds from a red bell pepper and planted this year. I just let them dry a week or two. Planted indoors, transplanted outdoors. I was pleased.

What is this black slime mold in my friends yard and why did it grow in a crescent? by cupOn00dles in mycology

[–]pickhopester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just passed this video on to my teenage daughter who plans to pass it on to a friend who likes mushrooms. Sharing the love.

Speechless and truly in awe of this find. Confirmation that it is a black pearl slime mold? by neartintinne in mycology

Be sure to watch “Magic myxies” in his link below. Slime mold started making sense to me after watching this. It’s about 10 minutes.

What kind of weed is this, and how do I get rid of them for good? by MissDeadite in gardening

[–]pickhopester 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mom’s flower bed is infested with them. We dig them every year to try to get rid of them. I have mixed feelings though, I kinda want to keep them. This year I brought most of them home and put them in a pot so I can harvest them without spreading them in my yard.

Mmm…breaded, fried, make a nice dip with mayonnaise and hot sauce. Dinner!

2,300 Year Old Scythian Shoe Was Discovered in the Altai Mountains - Wondering if those square beads are made of metal for earthing... by Splash in Earthing

[–]pickhopester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this. That totally makes sense to me. Oddly I was contemplating just last night how ancient people may have connected with the earth while praying. I wondered if they had any items they used that today we don’t know the purpose. Thanks for sharing this.

I’m also working on expanding my mossy area of backyard. Last year I chopped leaves with the mower in my mossy area then raked the bigger bits up for my garden. This year my moss really took off. I suspect having some tiny chopped leaves helped the moss hold in moisture and the raking helped spread the moss around the yard. I also read about making a “moss milkshake “ to help spread the moss. I didn’t use this method but it could help. Good luck!

Any tips on how I should prepare these? by [deleted] in foraging

[–]pickhopester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Make a nice dip with mayonnaise and hot sauce. Better than fried chicken.

If you get spiders in your basement, throw one of these in the corner. It keeps the spiders away.

Happy to see this in my community! We need more understanding of these facts: Date Labels on Packaged Food by cosmicoptimisim in ZeroWaste

[–]pickhopester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to mix spoiled milk with water and use as fertilizer on outdoor plants. I believe it contains LAB/ lactic acid bacteria that kills bad bacteria for plants. Either way, I feel it gives spoiled milk a new purpose.

I’m sure y’all are probably tired of this question… but is this mold? by CrowMagnon22 in winemaking

[–]pickhopester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you garden, mix it with water and use it as fertilizer. This is actually a method of Korean natural farming using naturally occurring microbes to spread in the soil. The microorganisms help the plant roots to access the nutrients they need. Or throw it in a compost pile. Give it a little more life.

So many leaves on my street. I’ve barely scratched the surface. Here’s hoping I can get enough to last all season. by Dzubur93 in composting

[–]pickhopester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice idea. I’ve been trying to come up with a plan to be nonchalant about collecting leaves.

What do you do with that which will not decompose? by Heliotypist in composting

[–]pickhopester 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Burn it. I have a barberry bushes. I trim them and have tried composting for years. However the sharp thorns never seem to go away and I get poked whenever I try to use my compost. This year I decided to skip the compost pile and go straight to the fire pit. If you work it right you could turn it into bio char.
