  • The soil type you describe is what is usually recommended. I have a lot of clay in my soil so I planted my bushes on a slope that is too steep to mow. That seems to provide enough drainage. They did have a brief fungal infection on their second year, I treated with sulfur powder and haven’t had any problems in subsequent years. A cheap pH meter says my soil is around 5, but I don’t put a lot of confidence in its measurements.

    The flowers are also beautiful and have a pleasant aroma.



  • It’s aluminum, and I have seen it first hand. My brother is not attentive… He almost burned the house down a couple times.

    Those coil heaters put out a lot of heat at full power. Once all the water evaporates, that heat raises the temperature of the pan very quickly.

    Don’t set a pot to boil and then go do something else in a different room, especially if that something else is playing age of empires.

    I think it would be the progression from gathering firewood in the winter. They would notice that logs are easier to drag in the snow/on ice. Logs also glide way more easily along their length as opposed to across the side. So maybe you pick a couple long logs to pile all your other sticks on so you can drag a whole heap of wood in one go. Eventually that gets refined into a sleigh with bone runners. Then you just need someone who wants to have some fun with the idea and plays around with making a miniature version they can strap to their feet.


  • He hasn’t had a great streak in completing progress in haunted chocolatier because he keeps getting pulled back into stardew valley ports and making new content for stardew valley. If he and his collaborators soon have to support both stardew valley and haunted chocolatier across multiple platforms, I don’t expect development on a new stardew valley game to progress quickly at all. I would expect half life 3 like timelines.

    I’m going to stretch the definition of tree and answer with blueberry bushes. I have planted all sort of fruit trees, but in my climate it’s difficult to get high quality fruit without using pesticides. Pest pressure is significant. The blueberries on the other hand require little maintenance and they thrive even in depleted soils. I also like that the berries ripen over the span of a few weeks, so it’s not as much of a rush to pick and process everything all at once. I’m in zone 7b/8a, but there are a variety of cultivars that do well from USDA zones 3-9.
