Have at. Ethical limitations apply as it’s a fairly new technology.
That’s a good take
This is my favorite comment btw. You win the thread
Interesting. Thanks for this
What a rude thing to say
Touch grass my European friend
Humans are overpopulated killing machines responsible for multiple extinctions….
I suppose you’re right.
I doubt I want to deal with a dead bird anyway.
You win the wisdom award. At least until I get bored and look up bird population parasite/diseases more in depth. Which I am unlikely to do.
No. Just no. Even prisoners are allowed outdoor privileges.
They’re interested, it’s a contained area, they are supervised. No.
I’ll counter with. I have a vet. I am interested in birdwatching and the cats are only outside supervised.
Good points.
I agree here. What if the bird population wasn’t endangered and considered a pest?
To be clear this is hypothetical. I haven’t done anything.
I like the concept. The reality is probably just making some people rich in some US major city. But it makes me feel good. That’s something I guess
Yea. They do $25 increments. Ask for a $5 donation each time, It’s adjustable to $0 though.
Come on now, I don’t want to get in an argument with a dumbass, but the Beverley character had some fine moments.
I’ll give you ghost sex, and collapsing universes, but she was pleasant. Really she was there for to give Picard more emotional dynamism.
Pulaski was kinda baller though, I liked her. She had opinions and wasn’t afraid to express them. Even better she would reevaluate them upon have more data. I have a 3D printer named after her. I print my with my favorite plastic on it, TPU.
Interesting. Do you know if this is a problem on the west coast? The article leaves it vague, with some indication that it may only be a Florida problem
Tales from the Garden: Milkweed
I had a volunteer milkweed this year in my small raised bed/container garden.
Early into the season it developed a yellow aphid infestation. I was horrified! They were disgusting things (and far, far too many of them). While I was interested in an insect garden, I was worried spread to nearby plants, specifically my prized blackberries, affecting yields.
I researched and treated the aphid infestation with Neem Oil and basically killed the living population. Success!
Or so I thought…
After I traveled for about a month, I returned to see the aphids had rebounded in full force.
An interesting thing though, neither had they spread to other plants.
Even more interesting there were ladybugs, there were beetles, there were wasps, there was even a praying mantis.
I wouldn’t say the milkweed is super happy about the arrangement, but it is growing, and it was a volunteer into the garden.
Overall it’s been the best plant of the season by far teaching me a little bit about ecosystems.
TLDR: my aphid infestation totally allowed my predator insect population to boom

Info Request: Vermi-Composting
I don’t know much about vermi composting, but I am thinking of giving it a go. Does anyone have a good resource, knowledge, or recommendation on where to start? My thoughts were to get a couple metal grated waste baskets, a bunch of earth worms and put one in each of my raised garden beds. Or should...

My thoughts were to get a couple metal grated waste baskets, a bunch of earth worms and put one in each of my raised garden beds.
Or should I run an experiment and do one bed and not the other?
What are its benefits? Downsides(rodents,possums for instance)?
Guidance is appreciated.
