What are you doing today?

[Alice B]

You've reminded me I need to get some tomato seeds as the pack I have expired a couple of years ago. And this year, some decent compost. Last year I used the last of the old compost to plant the seeds and they grew very well on the kitchen window ledge. Then I used Aldi compost to pot them up in planters for outdoors and they stopped growing. I had a few tomatoes but nothing like usual. When I emptied the planters, the roots had not grown into the Aldi compost at all. It's back to Wickes this year.


It's my husband's birthday and we've spent the day with our son, his partner and our 5 month old grandson

I use pond waste and bunny and chicken waste and leaves and stuff and have a compost pile about 10 ft by 4 ft by 3 ft tall, I raid from the bottom rather than buying anyone else's compost. Before I found out how bad peat harvesting was I'd buy a block of peat 2 or 3 cubic feet compressed, and minerals - epsom salts, lime, a little bit of this and a little of that, and mix it with a whole lot of the stuff from the bottom of my compost pile, and except for peat and minerals I didn't buy any soil products. Worked great. I also recycle my soil in my pots from year to year, adding fresh compost, eggshells, etc.

Ever use coffee grounds? Supposed to attract worms.

Should I get some corydoras for my 20g high before getting my 40g breeder, or just wait until I get the 40g breeder?
I'm contemplating it...
Or do I even have enough hiding places for more fish?

Wait.

 

[Rocky998]

Wait.

Thanks. Just wanted to hear that from someone else. Lol. Kinda figured.

Just zoned out a few minutes ago and my brother snapped me out of it to tell me that "you look like a dead frozen penguin"
What???

Searching for deals at all the bulk and bargain stores

 

[jaylach]

Deciding whether to do the work myself or take my car to a shop. Just sprung a leak in the upper radiator hose and I need the negative battery cable terminal end replaced; the actual cable is fine. Both are easy to do but I can't decide if I want to mess with it especially as I'm due to take the car in for an oil change anyway.

Are you on Facebook? If so does your area have a marketplace on Facebook? In my area it is called Upcycle. You can sometimes find good deals.

I am, I’m on Facebook marketplace, the local Buy Nothing project groups, private buy and sell groups, OfferUp, Craigslist and always scouring those as well as yard sales when we see them

estate sales for stuff like crystal serving dishes for events... but I got my daughters punch bowl at goodwill

I’ve gotten a fantastic haul of stuff so far

 

[jaylach]

I think I've decided I'm going to have my car stuff done at a shop. Ya I could save some money doing it myself and am able. Shoot, I swapped engines, replaced timing gears and chain along with head gaskets. I just have no desire to work on cars anymore. I'd rather pay more to have someone else do it.

Man, if I had a dollar for every time somebody told me I looked like a dead, frozen penguin...
