I'm moving my worm bin back inside to stabilize the temperature. I am debating if I should remove some material so the worms that are there aren't overfed. That or make a new bin for a second level and have my current bin as a leachate bin. I currently don't see any worms besides the ones in ball of compost/worms I got to bump up their population. It may or not be a good thing but with a little digging at certain spots, I do find worms within the bedding. They may be the adventurous ones of the worms I introduced or they could be my old worms. So its really hard to tell if it is good or bad. I am also bringing it inside to warm it up so it could have some mites to help out the worms. Mites never seem to have taken hold in the bin but in my rosemary cuttings, I used compost from my bed and its still teeming with mites. I'm going to try to bring back up my bed compost to that level and introduce some mites, again, to my bin. --- I found a really old corrugated fiberboard outside today which I shredded up and soaked with aged water to be left outside for a few hours. It seems to have did the trick for my worms. I piled it on top of what I have and the worms are really digging it. I know the worms are after the microbes in the stuff they digest but I am wondering what did I do wrong with what I provided them (Lets call it "my base"). It has been around for a week or two already so it shouldn't be that poor in microbes unless something is throwing the whole system to hell... like pH. To test it, I have been letting a pH test run for a few days on my base. My base mainly coffee ground based with coffee filters, tons of cardboard and perhaps some veg. Since the major pH player in my bin is the coffee grounds, I use that for my test. Initially it showed up as about 6.5 (ideal) throughout but now it slowly changes to 5.5 by the coffee grounds. I think its heading towards 5.0 which is what most worms can handle. Taking this in consideration... I wonder if my bin is dipping towards 5.0 at times. The new corrugated fiberboard I used is aged and its pH should be more normal. So I think I am leaning towards my hunch. With that said, I am going to lime up my base soon. Egg shells with some more commercial grade stuff.

Eeyup. Don't judge me!

Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorites, hell it may be my THE favorite anime series and movies. You got the more fast paced series and the more atmospheric, darker movies. Its a great contrast and it makes the whole thing non-stale. For me anyways. With that, I end with a video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJsEYwguuj8 --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAlztMvvNkk Best super robot anime. Maybe tied with Gunbuster/Diebuster. GaoGaiGar is awesome as well but its very damn long for what it is.

Now that is an interesting idea. Selling back games to Steam for Steam credit but that can be a massive money pit. That sort of thing is just there to make consumers happy but the producers get nothing out of it much besides good customer relations. I just don't see a used digital game scenario that will have the devs and publishers be happy. Used physical games already make publishers and devs realy aggitated but digital...

http://ucanr.org/sit...tables_-_Herbs/ Well. Look like I will have fun in this website then. Also I do have a lemon tree and a rosemary bush as well but since they were on site, I didn't mention them. Lemon trees are fantastic to have since I can use it for lemonade if I want a refreshing drink or I use it for other stuff like ginger ale. Now that I think about it, perhaps ginger would work as well. As for the rosemary... I love it. I am trying to make cuttings to give to my family. By the time I go back, I'll know for sure if the cuttings are good or not. Edit: DUDE. Dude... Chinese veggies. I should totally look into stuff like Chinese broccoli and such. They cost an arm and a leg here but I could use some. Totally going to plant this out for September till March for the coming rotation. Some veggies I am considering: Gai lan, watercress and cilantro. I am getting afraid that I might overburden my soil if I keep thinking like this... must get a good compost system going. I emailed a local resturant that is looking for people to take their veggie waste and egg shells. So I should be fine. Must get my vermicompost to completion so I can get a second bin started. Saving this here for future use: http://www.richters.com/show.cgi?page=./SeedZoo/seedzoo.html Speciality plants.

I actually need to figure out what are winter crop and what are summer crop. There are usually a few days during winter that can freeze so I am worried about that for when I restart in September. What I have planned so far is for some sort of melon or more kabocha, long/green beans and... something else. My general plan is laid out in here: http://imgur.com/a/Tsu7L#10 One thing I am going to amend is that I'm keeping the kabocha that has the female flowers. With that, I need to get a auto timer and hack together an irrigation system for my month long vacation during Aug/Sept. I could go full out with drip but I got no cash for hoses and such so I am stuck with a bent head hose. What I plan to do is have it water once a day or two for five minutes since the flow might be a tad bit stronger than it should. I have some bamboo-like plant which I pruned so I can use the trunks to channel the water to where I need it. As for pests... I got earwigs that love my potato plants. I made a can trap for them which caught a slug... I'm not sure if that is good or bad. I also got a cat that roams around that love to dig into my beds and crapping on them. No bueno. So... suggestions on my plans, plants and such? --- Since I'm on a roll... What is the front plant and the background plant? I want to say the front is a potato since it looks so much like one but I can account for all my potato plantings. The rear plant I have no idea but it was invading my plants so I took it out with vengeance. The earwigs and such did the rest.

So yes, I finally made the gardening thread after a couple status updates. It seems that a few of you garden yourself so lets have at it! As life rolls on, you might pick up a few hobbies besides gaming. Gardening is one of the most recent addition for myself. For me personally, I live in the ideal place to start learning with SLO's year round growing season and its strong agriculture background. For my first year, I decided to do potatoes and kabochas as my primaries.. Potatoes since they seem simple and kabochas since I use it in my curries so I had plenty of seeds to try it out with. I also transported some mint from my parents place via roots and some live plants to get started here. They're currently in pots/platters since I need to make a good home for them else they'll turn really invasive. I also gave some garlic a try in a pot. Of the four I had, only two remain but they're pretty healthy. I may plant some more for pest deterrent. After the kabochas and potatoes are done, I plan on going further since I think I'll be in the house for another two-three years. Whoever comes after me might like what I have planned... if they keep the plants happy and let the in place drip irrigation work. With regards with keeping plants happy, I've been composting as well. Almost most of my current plot is for composting since the original soil was kind of piss poor but now it seems way better. I also got a vermicomposting bin going. The worms after a week or two finally seems somewhat happy and are digging within the bedding and compost. With that sign, I added more worms just today.

Some terrible mistake of a congee. I used Italian parsley... the Asian stuff doesn't have this... taste. I should of just done green onions. At least I have something awesome... homemade ginger ale. I loaded up on the ginger for this one and its kicking my ass. So good. Edit: Spam makes it... taste really damn good.

Captain Tsubasa! If it isn't, I'll be pissed.

The one east of Dolina correct? Edit: Got myself a makarov. I passed on the double barrel since I like the axe. I also packing on drinks, food and a knife! As a side note, I can't kill anybody when they literally beg for mercy...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96rSqYeo9l4 Hunting for Day Z BGM. I'm gunning for stuff like these.

I know I pretty much grew out of the moe/shojo and shonen genres... but stuff like this still have a place in my heart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXLf4szPImM I think I'll have to check this one out.

Going to ask my brother to grab it for me because it looks sweet. I also never got any special edition like this.

I'll be on now, on and off since I am cooking as well... You can find me on the Mumble too. Well, I manage to grab some food and water with a hatchet spree. Luftwaffles, I returned to where we were last night. However, I am bleeding so everything is for you when you get back. Edit: That was a good first time I suppose. Hopefully starting out fresh will be much better! Running blurry vision and all is quite interesting...

Damn it, I totally forgotten about that one. YET ANOTHER TO ADD TO THE LIST.

I'm slowly working my way toward Gundam Unicorn in a month with ZZ then perhaps shoot off 8th MS Team. It'll be slow going but I will eventually get to where this awesome piece plays. With such an awesome OST, it just can't help make me wonder how good the actual OVA is. Is it on the level of the 8th MS Team...?

Not if Apple get the court to freeze the sale of any new Nexus or hell, any Google/Samsung phone.

Also, in case we need to use the following resource: http://dayzmod.com/f...ad.php?tid=4581 The medical folks. I worked with the Doc before and I nearly became a doc myself. Only thing stopping me is that I don't have the time and my username... BUT YEAH. Morphine is sort of hard to come by so if we need medical assistance, this is where we can ask if we can't help out within the group. Only use in dire emergencies I suppose since it would be odd to ask for help when we have a group going... Edit: With that being said... if we get something going tomorrow, first thing after we get weapons is a hospital for medical supplies.

No. You have to get it now. Think of it this way, you can't stay in a store for a week, holding a sale item and expect to pay the sale price a week later. Or something like that.

I made a thread. I don't suppose we got a mumble or a TS3 server do we?
