Hello. I have a climbing rose which is going absolutely nuts. It has outgrown its current trellis and I need to instal a new one above our living room window. We went to B&Q just now and they’re all hella mouldy.
Where can I find a good trellis which isn’t gonna break the bank?
Also tips for installing?
This is almost 2 weeks in since inoculation. There is some humidity in the bag (it’s an AIO).
Looking ok?
My Polish boyfriend has this pillow which is like a bag of stuffing. He has to fold it in half like 3 times multiple times per night. Every time I have visited Poland with him, the hotels and his family home have these pillows too. They’re big and square shaped and just so uncomfortable. Is this just normal for you guys? There is 0 neck support.
Just wondering.
So excited and nervous to see some white fluffy spots in this bag. Any way I can tell if it’s not just a white mould vs mycelium over the next few days as it (hopefully) grows?
I just realised it’s now been 4 years since I had my tubes tied at 20 years old. I’m so grateful I was given the opportunity by my doctor at my young age. My mental health is so much better now!
There were lots of reasons I wanted the surgery - side effects from conventional birth control, genetic conditions, other health conditions, and generally having other aspirations in life - but mostly, I experienced extreme body dysmorphia relating to my ability to get pregnant after I went through multiple pregnancy scares as a result of an abusive ex.
Lots of people told me I was too young to make this decision and that I’d change my mind, but I’m so happy every day I don’t have to worry about getting pregnant ever again! So yeah, just celebrating today.

Hi guys. Inoculated my first AIO bags on Saturday. They’re in a small cupboard in the top of my wardrobe which is quite cramped, along with a space heater and thermometer. The space heater is supposed to recognise reaching the correct temperature, and then turn off.
The issue is that I have pointed it away from the bags to avoid overheating them, but it recognises the back half of the cupboard getting up to 26 degrees and turning off, when the front half, where the bags are, is staying between 21-22 according to the small thermometer I have. I’m not really sure what to do to maintain the temperatures :/
Any suggestions?
I have in here obsidian for protection, since stuff keeps happening in my life that uses my money, so I felt like I needed to protect my wallet lol. I also put my cats’ shed whiskers in for luck and prosperity.
I feed it with coins I find on the floor when I’m out and about since I don’t use physical cash myself. Since I started it I’ve been finding coins everywhere!
Hi. My AIO bag was supposed to be delivered 2 days before my spore syringes but DPD keep failing the delivery. The syringes came today and I want to make sure they’re not going to die or anything what do I do with them??? Please help I’m stressing.
Hi all. Just looking for some validation here if that’s ok. I’ve done a lot of reading on this sub and it’s been very helpful!
I decided to go ahead and try out an AIO bag since I really don’t need a huge amount, and I really wanted to reduce the chances of contamination as much as possible. AIO just seemed like a pretty beginner-friendly method. If it works out, I should have enough for years if I store it correctly so I really didn’t need all the stuff for repeat grows.
Anyway, I’ve got a setup in an old boiler cupboard - have wiped down the surfaces with anti-mould just in case. I’ve got a small heater in there which I can programme to maintain a temperature I select, as well as a separate thermometer and humidity indicator to make sure it’s accurate.
I also bought a tub as I heard you can take the contents out of the AIO bag, crumble it, and use that as if it were a rice bag to get a larger yield, so I was thinking of trying it out with one of the bags (I got 2 just in case).
If anyone has any tips for me I would appreciate it!
Just finished painting the woodwork pink and the render needs refreshing. My neighbour is already pissed off so go wild.
Hello all. Have not grown anything before. Have read through the guide and putting together a list of stuff I need.
I’m just a bit worried about being able to maintain the correct temperatures for colonisation consistently. I work full time so I don’t exactly want a heater on all the time in a closet or something in case it burns my house down. What does everyone use? The tutorial mentions you can use a dehydrator for this step but doesn’t elaborate.
Help. I have high sided litter trays which has always been FINE but today my boy decided to stand on the entry step and arc his stream over the top 😭 pee has gone down the tiny gap between the skirting panel and the wall. What do I do?
I have wiped up as much as I can and sprayed some antibacterial spray down the gap to try and neutralise it???
Temporary anti-piss measure is a microfibre cloth rammed down the back of the tray to absorb it if it happens again.
Me (24F) and my bf (25M) have been together for just over a year and a half now. He was a virgin before we met, if that matters. Right near the beginning of our relationship, we tried period sex once. He said he couldn’t do it because the blood freaked him out. Ever since, haven’t even tried.
Is it possible for him to overcome this? Any guys with similar feelings who have managed to get comfortable? It doesn’t really bother me but if we could spend 20% more time fucking, I would take that.
Edit to add I DO NOT WANT TO FORCE HIM TO DO ANYTHING HE ISNT COMFORTABLE WITH!!!! I AM FINE WITH NOT HAVING PERIOD SEX!!!!
Let me start off by saying I am a huge skeptic. I was raised Christian but became a staunch atheist around age 13/14. I have always had a strong connection/draw to nature and animals and over the past 5 years have embraced my love for this and have been exploring various practices every now and again. It’s not something I do often but I have a crystal collection, some spell jars, and a fascination with death. I have a collection of animal bones I’ve found and cleaned myself and like to respect these animals because I do believe in some kind of karma/energy.
I have always had the ability to kind of anticipate/feel things that will happen or have happened. This will occasionally come to me in a dream that later becomes a reality but most often in just a ‘feeling’. It’s hard to explain. I just sometimes ‘know’ what will happen.
One example I can give is my dad was sick with cancer for about a year. During his last couple of weeks I would call my mum every lunchtime to see how he was, but one day I woke up and just knew he was gone somehow. I texted my mum and she confirmed he had passed away during the night.
My nan isn’t very vocal about it but has said once or twice she does believe there is some kind of psychic/predictive ability in the women of our family, but no one else has mentioned it.
Is this insane or has anyone else had a similar experience?
Hi all, hope this isn’t too big of an ask. I’m not a very keen gardener but am trying to improve. I moved into a new house last year and the whole of the back garden is covered in very nice slabs. I don’t want to take any up as they are nice to be fair and they’re not uniform so I wouldn’t be able to pull up a nice strip.
I was thinking of building a wooden planter from scratch to sit on top of the slabs so that I can actually have some greenery in the garden, but I’m not sure if some large pots could also do the job? Budget is a real issue to bear in mind. This needs to be as low cost as possible.
At my last house my dad helped me build some really nice planters and we had a lovely herb garden. Unfortunately he’s now passed so I’d be doing it alone.
I would like herbs again as we love this for cooking, but I’d also really like a nice climber with some pink flowers to go all up that left hand fence.
I would appreciate any pointers/criticism/advice! Thanks!
Have attached pics of garden and layout.
Edit to add: the house faces SE/SSE I would say. We get really good sun coming around into the back garden from 1pm onwards now until later in the year. Midlands so average weather.
I’m on probation at my current company, been here less than 2 months. I took the job and then 2 days in I was offered an apprenticeship role I really wanted, but it didn’t start until the 5th of May, so I carried on working here to continue getting paid (obviously).
I’m in probation so my notice period is a week. I just handed in my notice and my manager asked if I was giving them a month. I said no a week as per my contract as I’m in probation, and she said “as long as we agree to that”.
Can they do that? Not honour my 1 week notice? My new job starts next week so I have to go.
I didn’t hand in sooner as I couldn’t risk them just dismissing me since they are not invested due to me not being here very long at all.
