Has anyone used Nature's Good Guys (and if so, was it successful)?

As the title says. I've ordered beneficial nematodes, ladybugs, and lacewing eggs from them so far. Of course it will take a while to see any results from the nematodes, and despite my best efforts of watering everything and putting the ladybugs in a high aphid area, they still flew away. I really couldn't see any lacewing eggs in the package, although I looked pretty closely.

I've ordered another round of the same friends out of pure desperation, but I'm wondering how others' experiences have been.

I love Scar and Xisuma's chats.

X is usually pretty more of a "depth strider" in general with his waffling, but the two together are just very pleasant to listen to. I'm meaning to make a "funny image" * of Scar's reaction when he realized that they both shared a favorite movie, it was so dang wholesome. Thanks for being your unpretentious selves, fellas.

* had to censor the word because I don't want it to get removed automatically.

I hate that platforms like Twitch and TikTok immediately start playing videos as soon as you open them.

YouTube has somehow managed to still let you choose which video you want to click on, or which channel you want to go to. Why can't you be more like your less fucked up brother, TikTok and Twitch??

So if I see a notification from Twitch and click on it, it goes straight into someone's stream when I wasn't wanting to watch a stream (they're not stream notifications, I obviously have those off, but regardless it happens as soon as you open the app). Then it's awkward, because I'm popping into a live stream just to immediately leave.

TikTok immediately blaring in my face if I so much as open it (for the very few people I deliberately follow) is like someone randomly screaming nonsense in my face.

Someone needs to be fired, who thought this would be "engaging"??

Hi, fairly new to fermenting, question about the little flecks that float around (from garlic and ginger in this case).

How do you guys remove those little "flecks"?

'70s-'80s YA book anout about a girl and two gardens or properties--one good, one evil.

There was a swing, and she swung too high or close to the wall of the evil garden and got stuck there or something. The cover (I think) had a picture of the girl (and possibly a boy) walking down a path, and on each side were the two opposite gardens or properties. One was beautiful and peaceful, the other was dark and full of scary stuff.

I can barely remember the plot beyond that, really hoping someone can remember the book!

A little worried about Scar

I know he's been having more health issues than usual lately, but I'm getting a little concerned at this point. This isn't something I normally concern myself with regarding content creators (beyond basic human empathy), but I really do hope he's getting through whatever it is--physically and emotionally. Feel better soon, Scar!

Is an NHO reunion . Except that we're all old(ish) now, so it might be a little closer to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, but still. It's a need, guys.
