Whey + Seedlings = Success or Failure?

News Articles /

I have some wonderful raw goat whey from making labneh out of kefir. I also just sowed some seeds for this growing season, but alas, I am quite inexperienced and didn’t have enough seedling mix soil on hand, so I mixed it with my native outdoor garden soil. I DID read that you should mix about 20% native soil in with your seedling mix, but I did 50/50 to make it spread, and picked out the rocks/chunks.

PLOT POINT: I completely forgot about fungus, algae, mold, and bacteria. 😃👏👏👏 NOW, I’m inoculating every cell with diluted whey before the seeds sprout (or rot), so that the lactobacillus hopefully protects and takes over. (I don’t want dampening and have a limited amount of seeds.)

Making sure that there’s a heat mat for the peppers and eggplants, a dome ontop, and being VERY careful with watering. I have a slight concern that the soil is a little too dense and not enough oxygen, so what should I do? What would you do in this sitch?

New name for one of the world’s rarest rhinoceroses

A recent study has reclassified the species commonly known as the Javan rhinoceros, proposing a more precise scientific name: Eurhinoceros sondaicus. The research highlights key differences in body structure and ecology that set this species apart from the Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis). Recognizing it as a separate genus not only improves scientific understanding but also has important implications for conservation efforts.

Is it feasible to grow what I want on my apartment patio?

News Articles /

Hello I have never had any plants before and I’m looking to grow some herbs and lavender, but I’m concerned it’s not possible.

So I live in an apartment and I have a patio big enough to have the right sized planters but there is a massive oak that casts 24/7 shade on my patio. I’m wanting to grow lavender, basil, oregano, sage, thyme, and rosemary. But all of these say they need direct sunlight which I don’t have. I live in the Dallas Texas area and it’s fairly warm here and gets pretty hot in the summer. A lot of the things I have read said hot climates should provide afternoon shade but this would be all day shade.

So is it possible to grow these? And if so any advice on how to make it work would be greatly appreciated!
