Sweet potato harvest!

Reply in thread

We just built a bunch of 4x8 raised beds this year, but used them for other plants, so I'll be doing sweet potatoes there next year for sure. We do a similar mixture as you, with 1/3 compost, 1/6 medium perlite, 1/6 large vermiculite, and 1/3 coco coir (environmentally friendly alternative to peat moss).

The clay soil area had some of the mixture above, plus local soil, plus amendments from last year.

Sweet potato harvest!

Looks great! What kind are they?

I just harvested ours yesterday, and sadly the soil had too much clay still, so all of them were tiny and very thin. It's sad because this is my third year of doing them, and I added so many additives to make the soil looser, and still it's too compacted.

It was never meant to be used in this way at this scale though. He put out a new method/paradigm and that was that. It was the asshole investor tech bros that destroyed the planet once they learned of it.

Just like anything, almost no tech or thing is inherently bad, but it becomes bad when the ruling class get their greedy grimy little grimy in it.

Trump draws Marie Antoinette comparisons as he leans into the gilded trappings of the presidency

I hope they realize just exactly why in the 1900s-1930s the government allowed for busting monopolies, strong unions, and workers' rights.

The reason is that from ~1880 to 1930 there were hundreds of violent riots and revolts, assassinations of CEOs, literal wars (Coal Wars, check out the movie Matewan) fought between workers and capital owners, etc. So to stop all the violence and assassinations of executives, they finally realized they should give at least something to the workers.

We're quickly approaching this dynamic again, and hey if they want to lean into it, just expect the same response from the people.

Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Sam Altman among billionaires investing in 'Freedom City' to be built on Greenland

OHHH this all makes sense suddenly. Curtis fucking Yarvin the dweeb-villain himself is behind this. Everyone should be aware of the technofeudalist plan to destroy America as we know it and turn it into a network state with monarch-like ultra-authoritarian "CEOs" of each country. Oh and btw Peter Thiel is fully bought into this (there are dozens of verified comms between them), and Thiel owns Vance. So when Trump dies, this is their ultimate plan.

Check out Prospera in Honduras, one early example of these states.

The US president just instructed the USPS to seize any ballots cast be anyone not approved by the federal government.

I love that the noose of reality is tightening around this regime's neck.

However, as they see the end they're getting more and more dangerous, because there's no way they're going to let themselves face justice at the end. I predict this summer and fall are going to be the darkest times of my lifetime, and potentially a lot of violence from the regime.
