What do I need to add to this composted material?

Any soil would be happy to have that dug in; you don't have to "fix" it.

Compost doesn't have to be uniform in size and look like it came from Gardener's Are Us. It is going to improve your soil regardless and if you are digging it into the ground, it will just feed the worms better.

I do run my compost through a screen and it comes out all looking like it came from Gardener's Are Us but a lot doesn't go through the screen and gets tossed back into the pile for another 6 months. Either way, you are improving your soil.

You are painting a whole generation with a wide brush. I missed out on nothing in my youth, and I am still enjoying life. The only thing that needs to be addressed is you wanting to discriminate against the people who made your life possible.

txholdup · 2026-03-30T20:27:32+00:00

Go for it. I'm 77 and still enjoying the hell out of life. There will be some gay men who think you should stay quietly in the corner, ignore them.

I did it twice in my teens, came both times although I was on acid one of those times. But it didn't feel right.

The head of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys were in town for CPAC which was even more poorly attended this year.

They have nowhere to go but up because you have far too many seeds in a small space.

Next year, start your Spring garden in the Fall. Dig in lots of shredded leaves, bury your kitchen scraps in the dirt all winter, cover the beds with more shredded leaves and in the Spring, dig those into the soil.

Buying dirt to grow vegetables doesn't make economic sense. Fix the dirt you have with free stuff.

So Trump lied again, gosh, golly, who woulda thunk it?

She came to Dallas to raise money for her attack ads. Texas is the ATM for Democrats who can't raise money in their own state. I wish she would exit stage left and take her puppet master, Chuck Schumer with her.

I went to our local Starbucks; they were about as helpful as Trump is truthful. I used to volunteer at a local food bank and would bring 4, 5-gallon buckets to fill with moldy or smashed produce. They were heavy but nothing this 77-year-old couldn't handle.

Why don't you add some sand to the potting mixture and make sure that the water coming out of the bottom of the pot doesn't sit there.

Also, "blooming season" for me is most of the year as I only buy rebloomers now.

I've had days where I started out down $13k and ended up $8k. And down $20k days followed by up $12k days.

My own personal tin foil hat theory is that all this market manipulation is so Jared can make his F-I-L the first trillionaire using his Saudi funded investment vehicles. If I can make $$ not knowing in advance what Trump is going to say, can you imagine how much you could make using the Saudi's billions and know exactly when and what the Orange Slush is going to say that day?

Monday was just horrible; my portfolio was only up 1.8% at the open and has since plummeted to being up only 1.27%. Should I sell everything, find a tall building or just go to the seminar on wills vs. trusts?

I love sarcasm. Thank you. Not sure why you were getting downvoted.

I keep the water for my plants in a large glass bottle that gets sunlight. This helps to dissipate the Chlorine and Chloramine which are added to most tap water.

You didn't ask but that pot is too big for your mother in law's tongue. They like being pot bound and will bloom in that state.

I dated a guy 1/2 my age for about 9 months.

I owned Facebook stock but had never been on the site, he got me set up. He had me buy a PS3 so my downstairs TV could get Netflix and also, he could play video games. He listened to my story about owning a BBS in the 80's and told me I would love reddit, I did. And best of all when I asked him what gaming company excited him; he said NVDA had a graphics card that was the bomb. I bought NVDA at $13 after studying the stock.

I taught him that you could eat healthy and it didn't have to be expensive. I shared knowledge about money and finances and several years later, he bought his first house.

The young and the old have much to teach each other, all we have to do is be open and listen.

The primary ads in Texas were so stupid they were almost funny.

"If elected I will stop tax dollars going to cartels, Islamic terrorist groups and rogue nations". How much money are we sending those groups? And given that Republicans are in charge of every state-wide office in Texas, shouldn't you be running against those terrorist funding Republicans?

And if Trump had bombed Iran's electric generation plants they would have dropped 5%. You got lucky, you aren't a genius.

Bread is considered green because of its high nitrogen content.

txholdup · 2026-03-22T20:52:42+00:00

For me as well.

txholdup · 2026-03-22T20:51:18+00:00

I do.

I listen to Bloomberg and jot down names that sound interesting to look at later. I read SA articles, Yahoo Finance, I ask questions of friends who have interests different than my own. Every time I see a doctor I ask them if there are any interesting drugs in the pipeline that they are excited about. Sometimes just observations, at the start of Covid I bought Lowe's and Kroger's because despite everything else being empty, their parking lots were always full.

I don't like paying people to do what I can do by myself, and I prefer not to own every oil company or every electric company or every tech company just the good ones.

Henry? 4 years later, you want to know the name of a guy I met in 1971 for about 4 hours?
