Isn't a healthy kind of social media one that behaves like a potting shead.
Mine is currently in desperate need of new paint and shingles. I keep putting it off because it does the job "well enough". But it deserves a few hours of toil.
There's "work" in it. It has real meat. I can dig down […]

Working with my worm compost in my greenhouse. I use compost for refreshing potting soil and fertilizer for my plants. Sore back today so sitting sifting compost keeps me busy while giving my back rest. #homestead #greenhouse #compost #recycle #witch

It depends on what you’re growing, but I’d say 8/10 times if the sunlight and water levels are correct, plants will grow. Potting soil just gives you more control over soil nutrients (which become important when you start talking yield/output)

Hmm is it invasive by any chance? Because it sure is trying to invade your space 😂
As an aside, I have a bag of potting soil on my deck that sprouted something. I left it and now it’s 3’ tall. Pretty sure it’s an invasive weed though so I need to get rid of it.

Did y’all plant your seeds this weekend?? If you haven’t and you feel like “but what do I really do??” Here’s a short video of me planting my lettuce seeds.
I’m planting in a big pot with potting soil mixed with a little compost and bone meal.

The least they could do is not lie about it. I am sorry, this is less chocolate chip cookie dough and more dates mixed in potting soil.
I still think splitting the atom is the more significant scientific achievement but it's a little odd inventing a protein bar that doesn't taste horrible is taking a lot longer

Water the plant, not the calendar. Check the soil first, then decide whether it needs water. #PlantCare #Houseplants #WateringTips #VerdeVivo

Moles generally indicate good soil health. Also the spoil from their hills makes excellent potting soil.
Who needs a pristine lawn anyway?
Moles are definitely not a pest.
