I find homes for each little plant. My freecycle community loves me.
Oh!! I used your idea of wooden coffee sticks. I got a box of 1000 for $2 at WB Mason. You really have to be able to write really small.

Time to be hitting Starbuck's. The stirrers don't last long (the water in the soil breaks them down fast) and the writing will run. Use ball point. And yes, tiny fingers too if you have them.

for $2 for a box of 1000, I am saving money by not going to Starbucks. it should last about 7 years.

I have little hands and can write really tiny.
I am using an ultra sharp Sharpie. Ballpoint didn't seem to work well. maybe I need a finer point.

Maters? How do you separate them? Do you thin them out, or try to save as many as you can?

Cool though.

Aquaponic greenhouse coming along nicely! We have 2 functioning hydro plots and have run the rain gutter into the water storage urn to be used for watering the ground plots. Also my wife very creatively used a gutter mounted for spinach!

Anybody wonder what a newborn Cocoa plant looks like?

Papaya tree in my mother-in-laws backyard in Costa Rica. Wish we could afford to go visit. {#Sad}

That is a good point, I have always said I wanted to be chopped up into fertilizer but alas there is that legal mumbo jumbo stuff getting in the way again! {#Lol}

Well, they're definitely spicy nutrients!

Just cremation ashes, perhaps. Still, I wouldn't mind being an additive to other soil material. Instead of 'Dust to Dust' it'd be more of a 'Dust to Daisies' kinda thing {#Propeller}

do they address the alkaline and salt nature of cremation ashes? a tree isn't going to sprout in that.

The cats were trying to kill me this morning because they were out of food. They don't seem to realize that if they off me, no one is going to go to the Cat Food Store© and buy them more kibble. I think they need to go back to school.

This is something Lugh never realized. He made it extremely difficult/dangerous to walk if it was anywhere near feeding time and we were anywhere near the food.
