Aliexpress recommendations for mounting 10W Renogy Solar Panel to Roof?
  • Shed. It's for a small lighting setup for when I use it up to a couple minutes at a time.

  • I went from flowers on the same plant. Admittedly, I know nothing about pollination.

    TIL: French Marigolds only need one seedling per pot
  • Thanks for the tip. I noticed they germinated quickly with most seeds sprouting whuch was a pleasant surprise.

  • TIL: French Marigolds only need one seedling per pot

    I had filled a pot with seedlings, so the nursery pots I found at the side of the road came in handy today. I split them into their own pots which I will give away to friends and family once they grow larger.

    My goal is to grow marigolds from seed for the first time to enjoy their summer blooms and repel pests from my veggies.

    What's the best way to fill these holes in my laundry room?

    My goal is to keep hot/cool air from seeping between floors. Is canned spray foam the way to go? Any recommendations? Pest resistance is a bonus.

    How do I permanently get rid of this discolouration in my bathtub? (I have hard water)
  • Unfortunately we do have a water softener but for some reason, there's still buildup.

    I've been seeing improvements with powdered bar keepers friend but it takes several passes and still comes back unfortunately.

  • How do I permanently get rid of this discolouration in my bathtub? (I have hard water)
  • A common way to wash many dishes is a tub of soapy water to clean off food, a tub of diluted bleach water to disinfect, and a tub of water to rinse the dishes. It's used by wilderness guides around the world.

  • Cyclists blame "utterly ridiculous bike prices" for brands' ongoing struggles
  • My city invests a ton of money into cracking down on car theft and increasing punishments. They are not investing into bike lockers or even racks. It's usually a "too bad" even for thefts of high value bikes unlike cars.

  • Growing potatoes in a Costco planter
  • Thank you. I'm using a cheap potting soil from Canadian Tire. I'd like to start composting one day to make my own but my apartment is prone to pests.

    [RESOLVED] The plastic cylinder in my soap dispenser is loose and the soap no longer pumps. What's the best way to fix this? Super glue didn't hold.

    EDIT: I ended up using epoxy. Thank you for the help.

  • Where do you find citric acid? I've been using white vinegar in a jar in my dishwasher which gets rid of all water spots and cleans better with my hard water. However, I'd like to find a place to purchase citric acid crystals without relying on Amazon.

    I've tried scrubbing it several times with bar keepers friend soft cleanser and although it improves, it never goes away completely and it always comes back.

    Bulgogi tofu over basmati rice. Really happy with how it turned out after a couple substitutions.

    Here's the recipe I loosely followed: https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-bulgogi/#wprm-recipe-container-16541

    My local shop was out of extra firm tofu so I made do with firm.

    My friend's smart home setup!

    They were ok with me sharing.

    Edit: Yeesh, no posts in this community for 4mo, then one admittedly mediocre setup pic and I get torn to shreds.
