ghost riding the apocalypse cuz there’s no way off this ride

  • Stop putting your wet iPhone in rice, says Apple. Here’s what to do instead

  • Everyone knows the appropriate solution is drying the device in your microwave.-brought to you by terrible advice duck or whatever

  • The reason everyone thinks Americans have no culture is because their culture is prevalent everywhere.

  • Really seems like it's all become so carefully curated and commoditized that the personality and rough edges and accidents that made any of it noteworthy have been hewn away. American culture is populated by what might as well be walking, talking avatars designed solely to billboard for Disney and Nestle and a few big corporate interests. But, wtf do I know. Maybe I'm just too old for this shit.

  • When it’s Saturday and there’s no new content on lemmy

  • don't have a life, don't have content to post. don't really need it pointed out. refreshing to forget

  • Trump's legal debts top a half-billion dollars. Will he have to pay?

  • Of course not. Rich people are fucking weasels. How do you think they get rich? They weasel the system. They weasel the profits of other people's productivity. They leave death and chaos in their wake. They lie, cheat, steal and rewrite the rules to suit them.

  • From a seed packet labeled “Blue corn” (didn’t end up turning out well)

  • Thanks! No. Just a hobbyist with a fair bit of experience and a decent amount of education on things botanical.

  • From a seed packet labeled “Blue corn” (didn’t end up turning out well)

  • Yeah, fresh manure can be pretty hot/high in free ammonia. If you can mix it in yearly piles with leaf litter and shredded garden clippings, and then use last years pile it's pretty safe. But, you don't know how rich it is without experimenting. Mixing some aged stuff into planting areas like 6 weeks ahead of planting and then side dressing a couple times over the grow season is what I've heard others do, but I haven't tried raw inputs like that myself. Not sure how much and all that.Corn does need a fair bit of nitrogen to grow well, though. That much I'm sure about.

  • From a seed packet labeled “Blue corn” (didn’t end up turning out well)

  • You can use a balanced fertilizer (same number across NPK values, like 10-10-10) if that's what you have. If you were buying something, I'd go with like a 6-3-3, or similar. Ideally, an organic fortified with ammonium sulphate (if my guess about your soil being alkaline is correct). There's quite a few kiln dried manure products made this way. Might ask at a local turf supply shop. They're gaining popularity and shops like that have large bags at good prices. Organic inputs tend to have micronutrients and supply what the soil bacteria need to improve the soil over time. They're like concentrated compost, in a sense. Problem with compost is you need a lot of it, by comparison, but it's better for soil health most of the time.

    Spacing is pretty important, too. You want corn spaced about a foot apart.

    I tried to attach a photo of some corn I grew last year... will see if that works.2023 - 6 foot+ corn stalks a few weeks before harvest

  • From a seed packet labeled “Blue corn” (didn’t end up turning out well)

  • That pale red soil looks nitrogen poor and alkaline. Needs compost or fertilizer worked in early. Corn is a heavy feeder. Mulch helps, too. Once pollen is up it's probably too late to amend. Every time you grow something is an opportunity to do it better next time, though. Don't be disheartened.

  • What if Boney M. was short for Boney Montana?

  • The M clearly stands for Mahoney.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Isn't there still one in California or'd they turn it into spiderman or something?

  • [INSPO] What would you call this style?

  • Late 70's new romantic/proto-goth

  • Permanently Deleted

  • 1st Ed AD&D players when their AC is 70: ☠️

  • She's mad that I'm washing her bed cover

  • I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out: 2 bed covers. Then, every time it's time to wash one, as you go to switch 'em, you get her excited about the one that's been in the closet since last wash. No more sad times.

  • There is no point in trying to escape the simulation; Odds are, we don't exist outside it!

  • Bold move assuming we all want to exist.

  • Christian conservatives be like:

  • 'If god really loves you he'll rape you and leave you pregnant at 14 so you can go give birth in a barn.'

  • Your day can't continue until you confirm it yourself

  • They also touch when you just shut the hell up.

  • Pope Francis: I don’t bless a ‘homosexual marriage.’ I bless two people who love each other.

  • Vladimir Putin pulled a classic power move that steamrolled Tucker Carlson

  • Tho only attention this should be getting is inquiry into whether sanctions were violated to make it happen.

  • Such benefits. Very wow. Praise the almighty job creators.

  • If any of those "freely provided resources" can identify you, they're gonna tell hr about it, who will then find a way to fire you before your problems become their problems. That's the "early intervention" corporations are paying those services to provide.
