Gotta get those microplastics right in there by the roots
solid blocks of plastic create microplastics when sitting in dirt?
yes
Acidic soil + UV, for sure.
🙄
I don’t get it. Are you a microplastics denier or something?
I just think people here have taken the worry about it to ridiculous degree.
I wasn’t worrying about it; I was glibly joking about the ecological disaster.
Are you watering your plants? Microplastics got you anyway
Maybe slow it down a bit by not directly putting more plastic in there.
Me and my wife chose a more sporky solution.
Good and cheap solution!
And better than putting more plastic in the dirt.
If you take the plastic out, it’s not much of a problem.
These are cute, but I use popsicle sticks personally. Fast/easy. Now drip trays and even pots… those I have been known to print.
Do we just have enough micro plastics already in the water and soil that these don’t make a measurable difference?
I mean do you really think these would make a measurable difference? I’d be really surprised.
Alright, well, I thought these were really cool. Just sayin’
I am a terrible gardener as I only recognize zucchini.
They’re written in German/Austrian.
Paradeiser is tomato,
Kürbis is pumpkin,
Melone is melon,
Salatgurke is cucumber,
Melanzani is eggplant.I’m a native speaker and I’ve never heard Paradeiser until three weeks ago
Native speaker of German or native speaker of Austrian? Because yeah, that’s perhaps the most Austrian word in existence…
I was raised in near Vienna and I heard the word often. However I’ve moved to Tyrol recently and it isn’t really used here.
Here in Salzburg nearly nobody uses it
“Paradeiser” ist Österreichisch.
Interessant!
In April comes the “Bubatz” one? 🥸
austria too?
Oh is he Austrian? Whoops. I guess not then. But our brothers and sisters from the Alps are more then welcome to join us :D
The “Paradeiser” gave it away.
indeed I am
Found the Austrian
How to say you’re from Austria, without saying you’re from Austria.
But nice signs.
Pics of your Salatgurke or it didn’t happen
Hello fellow Austrian 👋
You don’t have enough zucchini markers.
Hmm. How many kilos do you have? It doesn’t really matter how much zucchini you plant - you will need at least three times as many markers as you think.
I have a different approach. I print very thin 0.2mm plastic strips and use label maker on them.
might as well cut up old yogurt containers
Or that.
Post Melone
planing
Well I’ve used a thickness planer but it wasn’t good for field work. I have a hand plane but please let me know how I could use it on my garden.
