    Do you wish for sweeter tomatoes?

    after last year i don't think i could get sweeter ones. using baking soda would change the pH of your soil a little and that can make more of certain other compounds available to plants. i'm not too likely to do it here, i need to go the other direction for pH with some elemental sulphur to...

    Funny Business

    it's disgusting. much of why i am currently a dinosaur is that i refused to go along with f*buck and no regrets there. still Google and YT got me so they know i exist but how much else they've got on me i don't know and i don't care.

    Today, in 1848

    stubbed toes and mud pies

    now that we are a few months past when i didn't replace the worm buckets in my room and we're starting to get some food scraps again Mom finally asked me what i was doing with them. she was worried about there being bugs in them or if they would rot. um, no, not too many (and in fact a huge...

    Fun Soil Fact

    and if you manage to do that sometime you might enjoy reading a college level textbook about microbiology. it's some great information. even if you don't understand chemistry and math you can still learn quite a bit.
