Anyone Grow/Use Tobacco for Insecticides?


I was doing some research the past year, and came across an article discussing the use of steeped tobacco as an insecticide in the garden. While I can buy dry tobacco, I am intrigued by growing and drying some of my own. Found a source for a high nicotine variety, but am just curious if anyone else has/does do this and what your experience was. Thanks!

Light-to-electricity nanodevice reveals how Earth’s oldest surviving cyanobacteria worked

Scientists have decoded the atomic structure of Photosystem I from a 3-billion-year-old cyanobacteria lineage, offering a unique look at early oxygen-producing photosynthesis. The ancient nanodevice, purified from Anthocerotibacter panamensis, shows a remarkably conserved three-leaf-clover architecture for light absorption despite billions of years of evolution. The findings suggest that the fundamental design for harnessing sunlight was established very early in the history of life on Earth, predating the evolution of more complex photosynthetic machinery.

Animals replanting over a septic leeching field


So I realize that my battle with chipmunks is a bit like peace in the Middle East and have come to terms (though I work hard to keep the snake population up).

With that said – I’ve noticed a ton of strawberry plants coming up this year over the leeching field of my septic system. I generally only plant wildflowers and such there since it is not advisable to harvest edibles growing over human refuse.

So here’s my question – assuming I move these strawberry plants to a more suitable location – how long are they considered “contaminated”?
