I had a idea of how to stop them but my wife wouldn't let me.

Respond with a picture of a coyote, bobcat, mountain lion, great horned owl or other predator with the caption, "Thank you for dinner, it was delicious."

The U.S. bulletproof model was proposed for school children. Sadly, Republicans successfully fought against it, because it "Would give the kids an unfair advantage over the school shooters."

We currently grow our food for maximum profit on minimal inputs and labor. In many species we are reaching the maximum genetic yield potential under these conditions.

With some heavy investment into irrigation systems, protected culture, and optimal growing methodologies, we can produce 10x our current production on 1/4 of the land area.

Naw I have to keep him small to fit in the space. Eventually I want a house where I can let my poor little guy to grow up big.

Water + evaporation + water collection tray = salt buildup. Depending on the water source it can take decades or a few months. It's one of the top reasons not to use softened water on houseplants. The addition of sodium can mess them up quickly.

It's pretty easy to remove however. I haul the plant outside and run around 50 gallons through the pot in a day or so. You can do the same thing in a bathtub for smaller plants. After leaching the pot always fertilize the plant.

Monsteras are very drought tolerant and do better with intermittent watering. Soak the pot then let them let them dry out. They need another dunking when the sheen of the leaves get a little dull.

They also break any rule about pot size you have ever heard. That's a 10 gallon pot btw. For the first 10 years of its life, I kept it in a 2.5 gallon one. I had to water (2-3 weeks) and fertilize (2x per year) more frequently but it grew to the same massive size.

They just need something to lean against. It's leaning against the window. Since I never rotate it, it does just fine.

 

Probably the easiest plant to care for once you figure it out.

I water it every month or two. Fertilize it every 2 or 3 years. Redirect the arial roots into the pot when I water.

It gets 3 hours of direct sunlight in the morning.

Every 5 or 6 years I haul it outside in the summer. Then leach the pot with the garden hose to remove the salt buildup. I also hack the plant back to a more manageable size.

Growing up in Montana, we had a herd of around 20 mule deer on the bottom fields.

With a little bit of time you can easily tell them apart. There is quite a bit of variation in their appearance; head shape, body size and shape, ears, coloration, etc. When the bucks start growing their antlers every one is different as well.

Do not attempt to transplant the corn.

The roots go much deeper than you think at that stage.

You can leave a cluster of 3-4 plants if their closest neighbor is 18" away. It actually helps with pollination.

Destroy the transportation, then destroy soldiers who are now stuck with a long walk back to safety.

Have you run into a Teancum?

For those that are not up on your mormonisms, it's pronounced:

Tea-an-cum

An it's a boy's name.

Grew up on a ranch with hundreds of beef cows. I spend a lot of time on dairies, organic farms etc.. so I am constantly around the smell.

It still stinks.

However you are correct, pigs smell much worse.

 

Happens on both my Nokia G50 and S23. Scrolling past a hundred plus post it becomes sluggish then crashes the app.

Perhaps something to do with memory management?
