    I got a spider plant at a school fundraiser when I was in first grade. It lived until I moved out of my parents’ house at 18. My mom said she’d take care of it. She threw it out one day. I was sad.

      The trick is to have a living soil. Without bacteria, mycelium, wild yeasts, and other microbes, you may as well be planting plants in moon dust.

          I love Hydroponics specifically because it removes soil. And it turns out that a very large majority of pests basically need that soil to set up shop so when you get rid of soil you get rid of a lot of common pest problems.

          Also be careful if you do it with tomatoes, turns out that being a plant made up 90% of water means that you absolutely love being in a giant bucket of water and grow fucking out of control

    It’s not dead. You can crawl around on a single live wire as much as you want with proper grounding when getting to it.

    Slip, and your foot touches the other wire though? Yeah, you cooked or in for a drop.
