What would you add to refresh potting soil? And does my plan below sound right?

I have around 30-40 pots full of potting soil, all organic. I plan to sift the soil and combine them with new nutrients ( bone meal, blood meal, chicken manure, and compost) into a large 57 gallon container. I was also thinking about introducing worms (red wigglers).

The container has a top, and I plan to keep the soil in the container and outdoors until next spring.

I haven’t done this before, so it sounds good, but I am not certain if it is the right way to do this.

Please let me n know your thoughts and if you would add anything else or different.

Thank you!

I am finally ready to move out of my parent’s undercroft. However, the realtor tells me this tower is at the top of my budget and a “great starter tower”. Is this a good buy, or am I going to loss my cloak on this deal?

I will ponder the orb about this, but maybe I should reconsider the labyrinth condominium with the community laboratory.

Big sale at Rise.

Seriously, the “sale” is to buy 3+ to get 25% off. 3 ounces for $675.00. They can’t be serious. I got better deals from my dealer.

Urban fantasy noir like the Joe Pitt Series or the Grimnoir chronicles

They were the first urban fantasy series I got into. Some other favorites are the Dresden Files, Monster Hunter International. I prefer hard magic systems, or fantasy novels that follow a well defined system of fantasy. Books like The man with the Golden Torc, did not appeal to me. I didn’t like the ideas of some
Macguffin that provides plot armor. In short, I am looking for gritty style urban fantasy with a good world building.

Could a ground hog have done this?

Came home today and saw a potted plant sitting in a hole against my house. It’s a gravel path down from my deck. We recently had a ground hog under our deck. There appears to be a hole in the hole. We got ride of the ground how, but I wonder if this is left over from its time here. What are your thoughts?

I am leaking gas when connecting this new tank to my Weber Genesis. The leak is happening at the regulator connection. Looking into the tank I see that there is a piece that is not round. Is this tank compromised?

Jesus Christ is in the Epstein Files. Prove me wrong.

Obviously all of the files haven’t been released and the ones that have are heavily redacted to hide the crimes of the rich and powerful.

I can’t help notice though how many of the folks that are mentioned and/or suspected of being in the files are “good christians”.

The GOP is made of primarily of Jesus’s supporters, and we have seen time and again how little they want to discuss the connection between this white house, and Jeffery Epstein. Yet they will blindly follow this administration despite many of them being listed and suspected co-conspirators of Epstein.

Further more there are many cases of evangelists, Christian leaders and the catholic church involved in sex scandals often involving underage youths. I honestly find it strange that the Pope hasn’t come out and demanded the full release of the files. He has been vocal about plenty of current events, wars, AI, and Trump.

Epstein met Pope Jon Paul, had discussions of taking down Pope Francis and Pope Leo hasn’t spoken out about the files.

Until we see all of the files, I am telling everyone that Jesus Christ himself is in the Epstein files.

We bought a house on the side of a hill. It has some erosion issues. Do I need a professional or can I do something to protect and prevent this from worsening? Details below.

The erosion on this side of the house seems significant. The base of the central air is wearing away. The corner of the foundation of the house is showing. In the last picture I am also concerned about the wall, and if the cracking showing is normal. The previous owner did not have the extra drain pipe installed, and never cleaned the gutters apparently. It looks like there was an attempt to stabilize the soil years ago in this area, but it needs updating.

The house was built about 12 years ago, in western Virginia. The hill is steep, the bottom of the deck can be seen in the last photo, to get an idea of the grade. The soil is mostly clay and full of weeds. We get a good deal of precipitation in the foothills. We intend to improve the soil, and are working to add clover and lots of plants to stabilize the yard this year.

I have basic landscaping and carpentry skills and access to power tools and a work shop. What can I do improve drainage, and limit erosion. I also need to stabilize the ac unit.

Please lets me know your thoughts and questions. Thank you.
