Gotta get those microplastics right in there by the roots
- It's what plants crave
- solid blocks of plastic create microplastics when sitting in dirt?
  
  yes
  
  Acidic soil + UV, for sure.
- 🙄
  
  I don't get it. Are you a microplastics denier or something?
Me and my wife chose a more sporky solution.
- Good and cheap solution!
  
  And better than putting more plastic in the dirt.
These are cute, but I use popsicle sticks personally. Fast/easy. Now drip trays and even pots... those I have been known to print.
Alright, well, I thought these were really cool. Just sayin'
Do we just have enough micro plastics already in the water and soil that these don't make a measurable difference?
- I mean do you really think these would make a measurable difference? I'd be really surprised.
I am a terrible gardener as I only recognize zucchini.
- They're written in German/Austrian.
  Paradeiser is tomato,
  Kürbis is pumpkin,
  Melone is melon,
  Salatgurke is cucumber,
  Melanzani is eggplant.
  
  I'm a native speaker and I've never heard Paradeiser until three weeks ago
In April comes the "Bubatz" one? 🥸
- austria too?
  
  Oh is he Austrian? Whoops. I guess not then. But our brothers and sisters from the Alps are more then welcome to join us :D
  
  indeed I am
Found the Austrian
Pics of your Salatgurke or it didn't happen
How to say you're from Austria, without saying you're from Austria.
But nice signs.
Hello fellow Austrian 👋
I have a different approach. I print very thin 0.2mm plastic strips and use label maker on them.
- might as well cut up old yogurt containers
  
  Or that.
You don't have enough zucchini markers.
Hmm. How many kilos do you have? It doesn't really matter how much zucchini you plant - you will need at least three times as many markers as you think.
Post Melone
planing
Well I've used a thickness planer but it wasn't good for field work. I have a hand plane but please let me know how I could use it on my garden.
I wanted to make something similar for my mom's garden, but yours look way better than what I had in mind. Thanks.
No Triffid markers??
Normal ppl, harrumph.
: P
- TIL :)
