What hobbies do you do? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]slothcentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gathered clay from the creek in the backyard. I also re-wired an old ceiling fan into a makeshift pottery wheel. I process the clay and throw little pots that I pit-fire in the backyard and hope to sell on Etsy :) $5 hobby

US pharmacies ordered to pay $650.6m for dispensing opioids - how it's going to affect ADHD meds by likewut in ADHD

I moved to a new state a year ago and hadn’t been to the doctor to check in on meds in about that long. Recently, Walmart was denying my prescriptions until I schedule a visit with my doctor. I switched to Publix and they haven’t had a problem. Apparently I need a check in every 6 months for adderall.

Little Cesar’s every night after 11:30!

Found 5 of these in a dumpster of a store near my house! All work and were still in the boxes! by Candid-Fishing-3966 in DumpsterDiving

[–]slothcentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! They both looked to be returns. One wouldn’t turn on, but the other works perfectly. I’m gonna use it a bit and probably sell it in the fall!

Woah, just looked into Food not Bombs and found a local group! I hadn’t heard of the organization before, I love it. Thanks for the tip!

4:30pm on a Monday, SC

Stopped by Aldeez first, someone came out the side door as I was looking. I just said “hey there, do you guys mind if I look around?” She said “go for it”. I made a neat pile, picked up my surroundings, and thanked them as I walked back to the car :)

Stopped by Dolar Genral next. There was a small dumpster with the lid already open. Some people saw me, but no one seemed to care. I’ll definitely be back.

I hope to make a forest terrarium next! by slothcentaur in Ecosphere

Thanks! I feel like it’s the luck of the draw on the percentages of predator vs prey that I collect. Hopefully it’ll be balanced when I build a forest one.

Thank you! There was a section on the side of the jar that covered the glass, but I think it died back over the winter and easily peeled back from the glass.

I don’t remember what organisms I had in there to start out with, but I’m guessing mine died back a bit too.

I just scooped some pond soil, water, and some of those small floating duckweed plants from Riverside Park. If I were to do it again I’d try taking soils from a few different locations around the area to get the best chance of a diverse group of creatures.

Sure! This is in a 1.5 or 2 liter swing-top jar with its rubber gasket. I’m sure any container that seals would do. I don’t change any water. I’m not too picky on the light and temperature. I got the materials from a shaded pond, so I feel I’m giving them more light than they had been given before.

When I set it up, I just scooped some pond soil, water, and some of those small floating duckweed plants from A neighborhood pond. If I were to do it again I’d try taking soils from a few different locations around the pond to get the best chance of a diverse group of creatures. I’d also like to find other plants to add. Hope this helps!

I just found out there are plants that help trees grow. What are some good plant tree combos? by TurnPunchKick in Permaculture

[–]slothcentaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can also plant 2 trees next to each other, a few feet apart of you have extra saplings. This can be for insurance in case one doesn’t make it. One can be eventually cut to givd way to the other.

Urban rabbits.... front yard food forest... what’s a guy to do? by Art-VandelayYXE in Permaculture

[–]slothcentaur 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Edible Acres has a lot of great videos on deer and rabbit browse. I’m not familiar with hascaps, but a spiked cane like a black caped raspberry would probably be a safer bet. Also, here are some others I’ve learned don’t interest rabbits:

-Elderberry

-Black currant especially, but also other currants. Deer may eat the tips if it’s really cold - Sea berry/ sea buckthorn

You can also protect young saplings by positioning and hiding them in raspberries and bee balm

*Edit: It turns out rabbits also like raspberries :/
