Lasagna Gardening 101
There's no hard and fast rules about what to use for your layers, just so long as it's organic and doesn't contain any protein (fat, meat, or bone). Before I go any further, let me just say that the basics of making garden lasagnas are simple: Don't remove the sod or do any extra work, like removing weeds or rocks. You need less loose material to plant in than you might think. First, we covered the area with lime, then laid whole sections of wet newspaper on top of the pine needles and covered the paper with peat moss. We pulled the layers apart and planted 31 tomato plants, four squash, six cucumber, four basil, two rosemary, four parsley, and twelve cosmos. Once the harvest was finished, I pulled the stems and disturbed the layers for the first time. To prepare the new garden for another year of planting, we spread the contents of a large composter onto the space, and the garden took on several inches in height. Site and soil.

Circle Planting
I wanted to grow corn between two rows of tomato vines to provide partial shade for vines and tomatoes. A little shade on tomatoes during hottest summer will produce bigger, juicier, mild-flavored fruits and, at the same time, reduce the problem of sun-scald. I traced in the dirt a two-foot diameter circle. That’s nine corn stalks in approximately two square feet of soil, without crowding, evenly spaced, and in a geometric arrangement that contributes to excellent pollination.The corn plant is the only grain crop to have separate male and female flowering parts . This same method works well on cucumbers, too. The key is to get a thick ground cover of vines quickly to keep the soil cool and moist. Plant cucumber seeds four inches apart around each circle (18 seeds per each six foot circle).

How to Grow Carrots | How To Grow Stuff
With their rich orange color, sweet taste, crisp texture and overall versatility, carrots are a popular and well-loved vegetable. However, because they are a root vegetable, many people assume they are difficult to grow. But that’s simply not true. Carrots are a relatively easy vegetable to grow, hardy enough for all zones, and come in a number of varieties to suit every taste. Consequently, they make a great crop for the beginning and experienced gardener alike. Before You Plant Choose the Right Type of Carrot: Choosing the right variety depends on your individual tastes and type of soil in your garden. Short varieties, such as Thumberline or Little Finger come as small as two inches, and are generally as wide as they are long. Find a Suitable Place: Choose a spot that gets full sun. Prepare the Soil: Depending upon the variety of carrot you’ve chosen, the soil may need to be worked well and heavily composted.

Being Gifted
It’s painful. It’s a blessing and a curse It’s what you are. The Pain Understand that the psychological / existential turmoil you’re suffering through is an aspect of being gifted. Your mind causes the cognitive dissonance. You don’t fit into the slots provided to you by society. You suffer because you see through the BS, but don’t know what you can do about it. You’re lost out there in the world. Why me? We are a byproduct of society’s dramatic evolution, and the chaos unleashed by it. We are adaptive, imaginative, and creative. We are the cure. It’s Not the Ideal Plan, but We’ve Been Left with no Alternatives Societal evolution created a ton of problems, but also countless areas of opportunity. We were sprinkled around the globe, and left with little to no support for development. However, we are out there. There is No “Path” for Us We have to seek out and find one another. We have to identify giftedness in other people when we see it, and reach out to them. We Were Dealt a Shitty Hand Related

In today’s fast paced life, man cannot find enough time to be with nature and take care of it.

Depressive realism
Evidence for[edit] Evidence against[edit] When asked to rate both their performance and the performance of another, non-depressed individuals demonstrated positive bias when rating themselves but no bias when rating others. Criticism of the evidence[edit] Some have argued that the evidence is not more conclusive because there is no standard for "reality," the diagnoses are dubious, and the results may not apply to the real world.[33] Because many studies rely on self-report of depressive symptoms, the diagnosis of depression in these studies may not be valid as self-reports are known to often be biased, necessitating the use of other objective measures.
