Every fruit stone or pip you're about to throw away is a potential plant. Water germination works without compost, without equipment, and — for most of these — without cost beyond a clean jar and patience. A note on stone fruits: cherry, plum, and peach stones need four to six weeks in the fridge wrapped in damp kitchen paper before they'll germinate. Without that cold period, they won't break dormancy. Everything else on this list can go straight into water. 🥑 Avocado — three cocktail sticks to suspend the stone, pointed end up, submerged 6 cm in a jar. Roots in two to three weeks, then pot into compost. A popular British windowsill project. 🍋 Lemon pip — rinse pips from any shop-bought lemon, place in a shallow dish, 4 cm of water. Germinates quickly; grow on as a fragrant indoor citrus. 🍒 Cherry stone — cold stratify for six weeks first, then suspend in a jar 7 cm deep. Grow on as a productive tree or ornamental. 🍎 Apple pip — shallow bowl, 4 cm of water. Germinates in a group; transplant the strongest seedling. 🌸 Pomegranate seed — extract from a fresh pomegranate, rinse, place in a jar 6 cm deep. Grown in a sheltered spot or conservatory, it will fruit in mild British gardens. 🌿 Fig seed — scrape seeds from a ripe fig into a shallow dish, 4 cm of water. Figs are increasingly successful in British gardens with a warm wall. 💜 Hardy passion flower (Passiflora caerulea) — fully hardy across most of the UK; germinate seeds in a rounded glass, 5 cm deep. A vigorous climber once established. 🍑 Plum stone — cold stratify first, then jar, 6 cm deep. Grows readily from stone and often vigorous. 🍑 Peach or nectarine stone — cold stratify, then 4 cm in a shallow dish. Surprisingly successful against a warm south-facing wall in the south of England. 🍇 Grape pip — shallow dish, 4 cm. Germinates in a group; transplant the most vigorous. Hardy varieties will fruit outdoors in sheltered gardens. 🌰 Hazel — cold stratify for eight weeks, then 4 cm in a shallow dish. A native British hedging plant that germinates reliably from fresh autumn nuts. When roots reach 3 to 4 cm, transplant into a peat-free compost and water well.

Most raised beds lose water straight down through the soil. Roots chase it, the surface dries out, and by midsummer you are watering every single day just to keep up. A core garden buries a sponge down the center of the bed. A trench eight to ten inches deep runs the full length, filled with four to five inches of straw or dried leaves. When you soak that core, it absorbs water the way a sponge absorbs from a bowl — then releases it laterally through the soil, reaching roots up to two feet on either side. Instead of water draining straight past the root zone, it sits in the middle of the bed and feeds outward all week. The method originated in arid regions where rainfall was scarce and every drop had to count. Gardeners dug trenches, packed them with dried grass, and covered them with soil. The buried organic layer held enough moisture to grow food through dry stretches without daily irrigation. The same principle works in any raised bed — and unlike a wicking bed, there is no liner, no plumbing, and no reservoir to build. You dig a trench, fill it, cover it, charge it with water, and plant the same day. 🌱 How to build a core garden bed: 1. Lay cardboard on the grass inside your raised bed frame to smother weeds and attract earthworms as it decomposes. Add a few inches of soil over the cardboard to create a base layer 2. Dig a trench eight to ten inches deep running horizontally down the center of the bed. Keep the excavated soil nearby — you will use it to cover the core 3. Fill the trench with four to five inches of partially broken-down straw, dried leaves, or shredded grass clippings. Straw works best because hay carries grass seeds that will sprout in your bed. Do not overfill — too thick a core will not decompose by next season 4. Cover the core completely with quality topsoil or compost so no straw is exposed. The surface should look like any normal raised bed — the sponge is invisible underneath 5. Charge the core by flooding the bed with a deep, slow watering until the soil is saturated down to the straw layer. This is the step that activates the system — a dry core does nothing. After charging, plant immediately and mulch the surface The straw breaks down over one season, loosening soil structure and adding organic matter as it goes. Each spring, dig a new trench and lay a fresh core. The bed gets lighter, drains better, and holds more moisture every year — all from burying material most people rake to the curb. A trench, some straw, and one deep watering — the bed holds moisture the way soil alone never could

Better farming method.

@TheRetroSlayer Considering how weirdly transgressive the "plot" of Blueprint is (you have to invade people's houses for parts of your contraption, etc) I'm not surprised there's a mystery involved.

@mightyclaw I guess it gives you a far fetched hint about a game that was coming but never got released. At least that is what I found on the web,

There’s always a million ways to do something. Here are some helpful tips for getting the job done.

$300? House?

Tu viens de résumer la théorie de la valeur-travail de Marx. Je vais t’expliquer pourquoi elle a été réfutée il y a 130 ans, sans méchanceté. L’idée que la valeur vient du travail a un problème fondamental. Si je passe 400 heures à construire une chaise moche que personne veut acheter, elle vaut pas plus qu’une chaise construite en 2 heures que tout le monde s’arrache. La valeur ne vient pas du temps passé. Elle vient de ce que quelqu’un est prêt à payer. C’est la révolution marginaliste de 1871 (Menger, Jevons, Walras), confirmée par Böhm-Bawerk en 1896 qui a formellement démoli la théorie valeur-travail. C’est pas un débat ouvert. C’est réglé depuis plus d’un siècle dans la littérature économique. Maintenant “le propriétaire extorque la plus-value”. Extorquer implique une contrainte. Or un contrat de travail est volontaire. Personne te force à signer. Tu peux partir demain. Tu peux monter ta propre boîte. Tu peux devenir freelance. Et surtout, le propriétaire ne “prend” rien. Il prend un risque. Il avance le capital. Il paie les salaires AVANT que le produit soit vendu. Si la boîte fait faillite, le salarié touche son chômage. Le propriétaire perd tout. Ses économies, son temps, parfois sa maison. La “plus-value” que tu décris, c’est la rémunération de ce risque. Sans quelqu’un pour avancer le capital et organiser la production, le travailleur produit rien du tout. Demande à n’importe quel freelance : le plus dur c’est pas de faire le travail, c’est de trouver le client et de structurer l’offre. Dernier point. Si le travail seul produisait la richesse, les pays avec le plus de travailleurs seraient les plus riches. L’Inde et le Bangladesh auraient un PIB par habitant supérieur à la Suisse. C’est évidemment pas le cas. Ce qui fait la différence c’est le capital, l’innovation, l’organisation, et les institutions. Je te dis ça sans animosité. La théorie valeur-travail est séduisante parce qu’elle est simple et qu’elle a un héros (le travailleur) et un méchant (le patron). Mais la réalité économique est plus nuancée que ça.

This can’t have been a real ad. Right?? 😂😂😂😂😂

Great, now we'll have a whole generation that can be poleaxed if you yell "Jessica".

If they really wanna make a stir, and upset all the right people, they should do this book. The High Crusade In 1345, silly blue aliens land in medieval England expecting an easy conquest. Instead, angry knights introduce the technology of iron gauntlets to the alien's sad little loser faces, storm the spaceship like its France, capture it, and launch an interstellar crusade, conquering planets and toppling empires. Deus vult… in space!

Japanese brutalism has a style of its own.
