dendrite

There's a lot of weenies on youtube that just use coarse wood chips (with leaves/needles) and just keep adding to them every couple of years. They keep breaking down and enriching the soil while the top layer mulches and inhibits weeds. My chicken run is on its 4th year with wood chips and when I dig down I can see the white stranded mycorrhizae in the broken down fertile soil. That's probably why the bamboo goes so insane in there...a little chicken poop here and there probably helps too. I used a horticultural blend mulch (natural mulch + compost) last year in my garden beds, but never actually planted. It all broke down over winter so I'll plant in it this year and add more of the mulch on top. It'll probably go nuts this year. When you think about it the forest is super fertile and needs no additives. It's just a self sustaining system (as long as we don't mess it up). All you have to do is sorta mimic the forest and let the soil and microorganisms do all of the work on their own.

Have basically watched the clearing line remain quasi-stationary just to the west all day. At least it's over 50F now.

It's mammatus. They can occur outside of thunderstorms.

Only got down to 40.7F here. BKN skies and windy though.

Totally clear here too. 51.5/18

Min 22.5° The last gasp of deeper winter got mixed out this morning.

Jesus. I’m just barely getting green blades to come up on the west side of the house.

20.5° Much bigger improvement today with sun, little wind, and into the 40s. One more chilly rad night tonight and then we turn it more seasonable.

Ha ha. Nice euro cave overnight. GFS may actually have the better weekend now.

Get the vax stuff out of this thread.

Euro tosses that GFS garbage for next week into the weekend.

Was there a nocturnal jet emission?

Depressing pics from up north this morning.

Congrats to everyone who wanted more of this shiat. 21.9F

32.7° -SN Starting to stick on the north side surfaces. Wind is howling. Looks like we’ll get one decent burst soon before it ends.

35° with some -SN now.

Euro and goofus night and day different.

2 good rain events in a row and a shit pattern ahead and he's posting this? It's mostly D0 outside of VT and we know they never truly have to worry about water. Napril Fool's maybe?

GFS gone wild up here next weekend. Tossing.

Cleared out up here. Up to 71F.

Toss that. They had to have had over a quarter inch.

Bed pans?
