New to indoor gardening please help me identify the problem.
I got this plant about 3 week ago, and water it after I check moisture by using my finger to feel to moisture in the soil. I place this one in my bedroom the closet window is about 4 meters.

2024.05.29 05:26 Afagehi7 New lawn advice

I'm in Savannah area. I'm starting a new lawn on a new house. Centipede is king here. I have Bermuda coming up from my seed and the contractor mix. My thoughts are getting a Bermuda lawn is easier to get started since it spreads and grows so much quicker. The centipede from the sod in the front will eventually take over I assume but for now I feel Bermuda is my best shot at having grass this year. My soil is extremely alkaline and ph is like 7.5 via 3 soil tests. 2 meters and one from ace where you mix some powder with a soil sample. Soil is extremely sandy. The Bermuda is popping up and starting to spread. I'm going to add more seed to a section that they must not have seeded. I want to improve my soil so it doesn't die as soon as it gets stupid hot. I did a scotts southern fertilizer but don't feel its enough and it was a month ago. Should I add more fertilizer? What should I add? Should I just leave it alone?

2024.05.29 04:39 pinkduvets Sociability levels, should we crowd-source a list?

I’m SO CLOSE to planting my newest native beds but I’m stumped on the sociability level of some species I want to include. There don’t seem to be any lists online ranking species from very well-behaved to very aggressive spreaders. That got me thinking… maybe we could collectively come together and share a tentative ranking?
In short, plant sociability was studied by Richard Hansen and Friedrich Stahl and they apparently published a list in their (now out of print and virtually impossible to find?) book Perennials and Their Garden Habitats:
I know from experience some rankings. Like that Baptisia spp are typically a 1 while Canada Goldenrod are a 5. But I’m really limited in my knowledge, considering how many natives there are out there.
Which brings me here. Since there are so many experienced gardeners and native plant enthusiasts in this subreddit, I thought you might all want to share your personal observations and conclusions?
To be clear, I know there are no straightforward answers. Plants behave differently under different conditions — stick a cup plant in shade or cattails in a dry spot and they won’t spread like crazy. So maybe we could consider some middle ground, like part-to-full sun and medium-moisture clay soils for mixed grass prairies in the central Great Plains?
Open to any comments, thoughts and feedback! And more than happy to read through any indexes/plant lists you’ve come across, so please share those resources if you can, too!

2024.05.29 04:39 SlimeSpree Review with pics! Library of Slime/Pink Sugar Slimey/Oh my Slime/Lime Slime co.

Review with pics! Library of Slime/Pink Sugar Slimey/Oh my Slime/Lime Slime co.
Today a look at four slime stores. Let's go!

The Library of Slime
https://preview.redd.it/ben8h6qut93d1.jpg?width=2769&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b183e6946cb0f465ddd29bd309821ae1527c472d
A wide range of prices from £4-12 depending on size and they also do bundles. The sizes range from 2-6oz. Beautifully designed waterproof labels.
The box was very well packaged with foam peanuts to protect the contents and the utterly stunning glass slime jars had nice honeycomb cardboard protectors around them. Even the charms were beautifully packaged with one being in a little canvas bag. Included was a mini lemon hand towelette (what a great touch!) a card telling me my packaging is eco friendly (lovely to know) and a cute bookmark care card with a super sweet note on it.
Upon unpacking, I found that Eliora (the head librarian 😁) had including an incredibly thoughtful gift in the way of delicious, high quality chocolate from a little company that shares my name! In the note it was mentioned that this was especially ordered just for me on account of being the first international customer 🥲 I was so deeply touched by this! It says a lot about the customer service and just how much care is put into customer satisfaction and enjoyment.
The library/book aesthetic of the entire web-store and the slimes/jars is just spectacular. I have so much appreciation for slime stores who clearly put so much thought and love into everything they do, it really is a magical experience. One thing I love about slime is how it affords us the ability to turn our thoughts off and indulge in something that taps straight into our primal pleasure center, allowing us to leave the stresses and responsibilities of the world for a while. The library theme and how beautifully it’s all pulled off ramps that experience up for me. All I’ve done so far is open the box and I already feel like I’ve taken a trip to a whimsical bookstore in some Harry Potter-esq universe! 😆 I think they may also be the only slime store to use glass jars which makes them feel very high end.

  • ARRAKIS (Sandfizz and coated clea scent: Usul's Awakening - Essential oil blend of cinnamon, clove, and fossilized amber)
The scent is beautiful with all the stated notes being apparent, reminding me of Christmas. I think it’s very special that these slimes are created with real essential oil! They aren’t cheap and you can really tell quite obviousy by the quality of the scent. The little book charm is so cute and a lovely touch!
I was worried I may have a struggle getting this slime out the jar but it slipped out into my hand nice and politely. It was a tiny bit sticky at first but a couple of puffs of activator sorted that out completely. The slime was very dense and super stretchy. It was very resistant but also very elastic and bouncy with no ripping. As you stretched you could feel the sand brush across your fingers but there was very little in the way of sand fallout. This has some unreal crackly sizzles when you inflate and then squeeze it. The crackles just keep coming and coming the more you squeeze. It does inflate a lot calling for a second jar for the excess.
The packaging is stunning and, equally, so is the slime!

  • FOURTH PLANET POTATOES (Thick and glossy with clay/scent: wax coated potatoes Martian Soil - Essential oil blend of ginger, orange, and pinyon pine)
Another beautiful, ultra classy scent. Again with all the notes mentioned coming through. The little pot of potatoes, rocks and soil is hilarious! The potatoes are insanely realistic and fun to squish! I thought they would be a bit dry on account of their size but they weren’t at all, they melted straight in to the base. An ultra thick, medium gloss slime which is perfectly activated. It has a super resistance and miles of stretch. It makes tons of huge, loud, deep pops and a ton of snaps and crackles. It inflated a lot and needed a new container. It is quite tricky getting slime back into the glass jars.
These look like real potatoes, they're utterly uncanny!!
https://preview.redd.it/sytwljg8v93d1.jpg?width=1356&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e8054f16d8493babc8fa4a78b4329fa76f221b0
  • GOLDEN CHOCOLATE EGG (glossy/snappy, rich chocolate scented.
This was plastic sealed, which is always a great idea to keep moisture in. The chocolate scent is really not a bad effort (chocolate is tricky) but a tiny tad perfumed and artificial. Strangely enough I was getting a slight hint of orange chocolate from it. It looks beautiful with its lovely rich shade and little pieces of gold leaf sparkling throughout. The label is incredible too! This slime is ultra glossy, jiggly, super stretchy and clicky. The more you play the thinner and jigglier it becomes. It has tons of snaps and crackles and some sharp bubble pops. I had a little trouble with tiny pieces sticking to my hands and did come at it with activator a few times. It was quite a tacky one to play with but not at all prohibitively so.
https://preview.redd.it/yi940tvgv93d1.jpg?width=5854&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=965de6ae379ae8e06ed4e26f5dea98d5798e9a1f
Every slimer has to try the Library of Slime at some point as it’s such a special and surreal experience! The essential oil scents were some of the classiest and most nuanced I have experienced, the textures are super entertaining, interesting and well made. I absolutely adored the clay potatoes which were mind bendingly realistic! The mini book charms are an amazing touch. This store really blurs the lines between art and sensory product.
I have a love/hate relationship with the glass jars. On one hand they are very beautiful and make the product feel so special, it wasn’t hard to get the slime out of them in the least. On the other it is harder to get the slime back in the jar. I was having issues with air pockets and the narrower mouths. Of course it inflated a fair bit so usually I just put them in new jars of my own but I loved the aesthetic of the library jars and really wanted to get some slime back in there. I very tied because I wouldn’t want the library to swap to plastic but the glass does make things tricky.
All in all I can’t wait to see what's in the next restock and had SO much fun visiting the library's beautiful and profoundly whimsical little world! We are always seeking for a new and novel experience when it comes to slime and this provides just that! 9.9/10
...............

Pink Sugar Slimey
£11-13 for 7oz. Came very well packaged in super cute pink heart and white foam chips. Included is little organza bag with care card, activator and delicious lychee hard candy. The labels are not waterproof.

  • HORCHATA CREAM (T&G, scent: horchata- cinnamon rice milk)
The scent is incredible. Very creamy with a waft of beautiful warm cinnamon. A chewy, stretchy slime full of clicks, crackles and loud pops. It was low resistance and on the loose/sticky side and I had trouble thickening it up with activator.
https://preview.redd.it/v1x6s4ggw93d1.jpg?width=5524&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94d20a125bdf99c94293e371f48745800fe90ede

  • TRES LECHE (snow softie + 2oz clear, scent: tres leches cake - vanilla sponge cake soaked in milk, heavy cream & condensed milk, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon)
A beautiful, scent with notes of cream, vanilla and cake. I got excited and completely missed the 2oz of clear topper at first. My apologies! Incidentally the base was very lovely without it. Very fluffy, a little jiggly and inflating with lots of resistance. I added the topper after playing with the base. The topper also smells incredible, like a creamy milk and made a huge difference to the finished texture. It activated the snow and made it puff up and inflate much more. This was the loveliest puffy snow creme and had a ton of soft crackly sizzles.
Before and after the topper.

  • ESQUITES (thick & glossy semi floam, scent: buttered popcorn)
The scent is SUPER buttery! It really does smell absolutely and ridiculously delicious and so much like hot, buttered popcorn it’s crazy! This is again super clicky, stretchy and full of pops and crackles, but I find the base a little bit loose and sticky again with very low resistance.
https://preview.redd.it/t98oxf8xw93d1.jpg?width=7915&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b10f21ae5ddea6ba1cb74ea5fb6326082b4e0b2a

  • PAN DULCE DOUGH (wood glue clay, scent: pan dulce/sweet bread)
The scent is just like bread dough with a little sweetness. Stretchy and moist with clicks that get louder the more you inflate. This is lovely and plush and very inflatable with a firm jiggle, soft and medium bubble pops and lots of snaps and crackles. Great soft sizzles when you deflate. As you play, it gets a lot looser and fairly tacky.
https://preview.redd.it/hzdan803x93d1.jpg?width=5638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db465d9d61dac25fc9b7d01d026dac86736d5a88

  • FLAN SOUFFLÉ (wood glue slay + 1oz clear, scent: flan)
Another fantastic scent with notes of rich caramel. An ultra stretchy, moist and jiggly slay which has a ton of bubble pops, big air bubbles, snaps and crackles, plus very loud clicks. Again a loose texture which is tricky to activate futher.
https://preview.redd.it/ewdm2mv4x93d1.jpg?width=8288&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0761c38c0cfc7a00d67c92bc46dca6ba32d75806
These are some of the most incredible and utterly delicious scents I have come across on my slime spree, they go so well with the themes which are all so well thought out. Clearly, a lot of love and attention go into these slimes.
Personally I found them to be a little on the loose side and a bit tricky to activate. It can be hard to ascertain whether this is by design or due to the warmer weather now we have hit the summer months. I always go for the fastest international shipping to minimise issues with melting and the slimes go in the fridge for 15-30 minutes prior to play. I am very much on board with Momo, Pilot, OG and others who slightly overactive their slime to avoid this. While I enjoy the odd jiggly slay, I prefer my slimes to be on the more holdable side so this is something I will keep in mind in future with Pink Sugar.
Nonetheless these scents were spectacular and the thicker textures lovely! Waterproof labels would be a strong preference of mine, I did manage to get slime on one or two of these labels while photographing and that is always a real shame. 9.1/10
......

Oh My Slime (Singapore)
Came with borax, a care card and a couple of candies. Slimes come in 6 or 8oz for between around $10-14. The jars have anti leak inner caps which is a great shout. I hate opening the box to discover slime leaks and this keeps things so much tidier! The labels are nicely designed and waterproof.

  • TURKISH DELIGHT (juice jelly, scent: Turkish Delight)
The scent is very subtle but a super pleasant sweet rose Turkish delight. This slime was very sticky and under-activated. Unfortunately, I couldn’t really get it to activate and it remained so. This is a shame as it looked like it would be quite lovely and I adore rose flavoured Turkish delight.
https://preview.redd.it/ls76r151y93d1.jpg?width=5701&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3c6b86cd9ca7d7dddcf0cb175856a71535c7cd7

  • OLIVE OIL (thick water, scent: tea-light)
This slime had a very pleasant subtle tea sent that I found very fresh. This was a fantastic water slime on the thicker side that was well activated and left very little in the way of residue on my play surface, less so than Momo’s. It was jiggly and fun and made excellent bubbles. I thought the whole theme and concept was super cute and well done. This is one of my favourite water slimes to date!
https://preview.redd.it/y9n2nia8y93d1.jpg?width=1348&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69c8470ea11d9e386050a390051eb708d169d2e6
https://preview.redd.it/rffvecaay93d1.jpg?width=2890&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54bdd9e9d7528acb8968775d854c2943637a622e
  • MAYONNAISE (T&G, scent: Yakult)
This had a pleasant mild Yakult scent but sadly had completely deactivated so I didn't proceed.

  • TOOTHPASTE - Colgate (t&g, scent: fresh minty toothpaste)
The scent is a lovely sweet mint. Frustratingly this slime had also turned to glue.
https://preview.redd.it/vuwropjey93d1.jpg?width=3995&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e051a6329f56a23db7349421b3978c689bc54a1a

  • GREEN TEA (gummy, scent: green tea)
The scent is very pleasant with a hint of sweet green tea. However, in a frustrating and somewhat comedic twist of fate, it is pretty drastically over-activated and extremely rubbery and unyielding 😅 I would of course take this over drastically under-activated any day but this is all the way rubber. In fairness I don’t tend to stretch milky jelly textures so much as poke and fold for mega pops. It has big squelchy pokes and makes big, loud, snappy bubbles pops on account of being so firm and thick.
https://preview.redd.it/wdhxrcoly93d1.jpg?width=5937&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5952870a91b47b249631fe7353859df8b24ed2c
This was a pretty disappointing experience, more so than anything because the themes were great, the charms gorgeous, the colours and scents really beautiful and I could tell the textures were well made and at some point gorgeous. It would have been less disappointing if the quality of the slimes was low and the scents/aesthetics mediocre. I would have understood if all the slimes were all the way in one direction or the other activation-wise but it was super weird to get one perfect slime (water slime no less, a typically temperamental texture) and the rest either totally deactivated or wildly over-activated to the point of being unstretchable.
In light of this I am really scratching my head over giving Oh My Slime a rating that fairly represents their concoctions. I just got done reactivating slimes that arrived with me in a liquid state and it took a good 12 hours for them to settle into the consistency I like. Personally hate touching totally melted slime, it really gives me the ick which is amongst the many reasons why I have no wish to make my own slime. I keep my slime in a chiller so this is not typically an issue I commonly have as I go in with activator long before they turn back to glue. I would reactivate some of my favourites if they melted down slightly over time but I just lost heart for these sadly.
I hear from a friend that their slays and clays are much better. On this occasion 6/10 on account of the great water slime and all the other redeemable factors such as jars/designs/excellent scents but I only had one slime I could play with out of the whole batch so I don’t think I will return with any enthisiasm. MAYBE for another thick water slime.
............

Lime Slimes Company
Comes with care card and Borax. Waterproof labels with a lovely aesthetic. The jars are 8oz and priced from £12.15 to £15.39. Link to my previous review here.

  • WAY TO LIMEVILLE (DIY clay/snowfizz, lemon lime pound cake scented)
The scent is a lovely, sweet and creamy lime. The clay was nice, soft and moist and fun to squish. The base had melted quite badly and was extremely sticky and I had to add a great deal of activator to get it handleable again. It had sat around for a week after I received it via fast international shipping. During this period, it was kept in an air conditioned room and had been in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before play. I was able to bring it back to a handleable consistency, but it remained tacky. This is the reason why I really appreciate companies such as Pilot, Momo, and Slime Japan sending their slimes slightly over activated.
Other than the tackiness, it was a nice and puffy, inflatable snow fizz with plenty of soft sizzles, soft finger, pokes, and soft pops.
https://preview.redd.it/4vrlogvrz93d1.jpg?width=5827&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95baa8b8379cf8b040c355770b4dbfe4203fbe74

  • WHIPPED TIRAMEWSU FOAM (whipped foam texture, tiramisu scented with notes of ladies fingers biscuits, espresso coffee and cocoa powder)
All the notes of the scent mentioned come through but I find it a lit thin and lacking in richness. I love the tiramisu aesthetic with the brown “cocoa powder” which you dust on top of the slime. This was also under-activated and loose but less sticky, I ended up losing an entire pen’s worth of activator between this and the previous slime. Though the texture became a lot more handleable, it remains to have some tackiness. This was a puffy and jiggly texture with medium clicks that get louder as it inflates and soft/medium bubble pops. The resistance on the pulls is low and I can’t tell how much of that is by design and how much of that is because of the melting issue
https://preview.redd.it/tyheh3pa0a3d1.jpg?width=5560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87659a72e8f63e05f8a3f80c8de8b891d2cc0267

  • OUI STRAWBERRY WHOLE MILK FRENCH STYLE YOGHURT (T&G strawberry yoghurt scented)
A really beautiful sweet strawberry yoghurt scent with a hint of tartness. Frustratingly this had also melted and was the worst of the bunch, it was pretty much just glue. I was able to get this playable again but it took about 12 hours and some frustration. I had to add a lot of activator but this took it to a stage where it was both still sticky and rippy so I let it rest over night. The next day, with a little more working, it was closer to the intended texture (going off the Oui from my last order) but not quite perfect. Incidentally my other Oui which is a month old is still perfect and didn’t arrive melted (it is kept in a chiller at 50f.)
I don’t much like judging a slime that I have reconstituted nearly from scratch as it’s hard to know if it’s as the creator intended. That having been said, it is a very nice, creamy thickie with medium gloss. Lovely to pop and full of crackles. It has tiny bits of red flocking in it for a very pretty strawberry pulp effect.
Top left is how it arrived. Top right is where I managed to get it to with activator (still sticky by rippy.) Bottom left is after it rested overnight. Much better but still not quite as great as my previous Oui which I bought a month ago (an up to date picture of that on the bottom right.)
I am so tied over Lime Slimes. I love their scents and themes and when they are good they are great. However, this is not the first completely liquified slime I have received from them and it very much spoils the experience for me. Reading your reviews on this sub I see that I am not alone in having this issue with them but it seems to be quite hit and miss.
I know they come from California so I would hazard a guess that the issue happens during shipping due to the heat, I doubt these left them in this condition. I always pay for the fastest international shipping to prevent this issue occurring and most slimes arrive with me in 2-4 days. The only completely melted US slimes I have received have been from Lime Slimes, I’ve never had anything more than a slightly tacky surface that calls for a squirt of activator from other US companies. Once again, I can only reiterate how much I appreciate it when a slime leaves a store a little over-activated!
I hate rating slimes which are melted as it’s not really a representation of what the creator intended. I do love Lime's Oui line when not melted and may chance buying another one if a particularly interesting scent is released when mine dies but, ultimately, I won’t be returning to Lime Slimes Co. with any gusto, which is a real shame. I really feel drawn to them as I really love the themes, presentation, aesthetic and scents generally. However, it’s a very important factor to me that I receive my slimes in a play-ready condition as I hate having to reactivate them (to a texture that may not be quite right) and the feeling of sticky mess on my hands 6.5/10

2024.05.29 04:20 dad-nerd From bagged soil?

From bagged soil?
I think all of this is too little to identify. But I used moisture control soil from Lowe’s and every pot or planter looks like this. Seems too consistent to be blown in with dense growth like this (this is a completely empty 5”x18” or so shallow planter - the pots that have other plants in them have similar shaped growth, but not as dense)

2024.05.29 03:55 ImpossibleBlob Alocasia Varigata going yellow

Alocasia Varigata going yellow
I bought 2 alocasia varigata about a week ago. They both were placed in the window (south east facing) in the pot they came in. I watered them and put them out in the sun to dry a little before I placed them back inside. Now one of them have continued the growth of a new leaf and is thriving, whereas this one is turning yellow. The soil is dry enough for it not to be an issue with moisture. Is this the beginning of it going dormant? Location is Sydney Australia, so we’re going into winter. I’ve now relocated this pot to be under UV light away from the windowsill, in case it was too cold for it. Any advise is appreciated!

repotted big mama
got her in a new pot today! it seems my uncle hadn’t repotted her in a long long time because the roots were compacted into the shape of the pot. eventually i was able to loosen them up by fiddling around gently (pics 2 & 3)
i don’t know what root rot looks like (i suck at plants) so i’m unaware if that’s a problem. i mixed 50/50 fertilizer & water & gave her a good drink after i reported her in about 30% perlite 70% moisture control potting soil.
she looks gorgeous on her new stand and i’m so excited to see how this goes!!!! my bestie is coming over next week to plant all of the babies im propagating, will post updates!!!! <3 thank u for ur advice everyone

2024.05.29 02:32 hlxdrummer Novice trying to finish new lawn install

So we built our house two years ago. Initially had someone come to give a quote for final grading, clear out rocks, and hydro seeding. The guy talked me into regular seed and from the bags I saw in the yard, planted K31 tall fescue. We are in WV. Various people told me we had some top soil on the property that was spread around but when I had to dig periodically it was very rocky and clay like.
The yard didn't grow in in various areas and had drainage issues. They never came back to fix it. Hired another guy who slightly improved the drainage issues and I'm assuming spread another seed because the yard seemed patchy (some areas no grass and the areas with grass seem to have different cologrowth rate) but not sure if that's from the seed, inconsistent soil, inconsistent moisture (there are natural springs/drains under the dirt).
So now I have a yard that still needs grass to grow in areas and the rest of it is somewhat patchy.
I am not a yard guy. I would like to have a nice looking yard but it's been two years and a lot of money. I just want it covered in grass at this point.
What do I do? Spread more K31? I've tried that with varying success. I would use a metal rake by hand and scrape some soil loose (minimally as it is very compacted), spread the seed, and water about ten minutes morning and night. Some areas it grew well, some it grew patchy.
I've considered trying a coated seed. I know the value isn't good but if it gets better germination in this crappy soil maybe it's worth it? Is changing brands just going to make the yard more patchy?
I've also considered scraping the entire yard and reseeding but that would really be a lot of work. I would have to kill it all somehow, till up the soil which is near impossible with how compacted it is, find a way to water 0.75 acres all at once on a well, and pay for all that seed.
I know there are a lot of issues I just need some help. Some fancy dude initially gave us a quote for $60,000. We laughed and said no thanks. Now I almost wish I went with them... included drains, grading, hydroseed, top soil. Probably would have had a nice yard. Now I'll have had three companies plus myself working on it for two plus years cries

2024.05.29 02:14 StructureSad686 Automatic Garden Irrigation system.

Hello, I am a highschooler who is trying to build an arduino project for my mom and her garden as well as get experience in building things for college. This is my first real project so please excuse me if my terminology or understanding is incorrect. Our garden is 4 beds above the ground that are within a fence and each separated about a meter apart. I would like to create a basic automatic watering system for the plants however am not sure what exactly to do. I have a basic understanding that moisture sensors determine whether the water pump needs to be turned on or not and that all makes sense. However, every projects ive looked for, for inspiration seems to not be for large gardens and require sprinkler systems. They generally just have a tube connected to the water pump for small potted plants. I don't have acess to the hose at is would be far away from the garden and unavailabe. So i was thinking that I could get a water tank of some sort that will need to be periodically refilled by a person for the pumps to obtain water. (Gardens are about a meter to 2 meters wide I'm not entirely sure as of now)
How would I go about adding a sprinkler system to these water pumps? What water pumps and sprinkler systems do you recommend? What materials in general are recommended? Other projects similar to this you wish to share?
Thank you all suggestions are welcome.

2024.05.29 02:14 AdRelevant4100 zinnias are drooping

zinnias are drooping
hey guys, i bought this zinnia two days ago and it was fine.
it was lopsided (i think because it was so crowded, it could only grow one way to get sun) but otherwise normal.
i repotted it yesterday. i bought a pot that was 2 inches bigger than the containerit came in, with drainage holes, and fluffed the soil so the roots could spread. i used miracle gro moisture control for the soil.
i’m in south florida and it gets plenty of light. it’s in full sun all day long. i water it when the soil feels dry on the bottom so once so far in two days.
my theory is repotting shock? how can i fix it? this is my first flower in a long time so any advice at all about how to properly care for zinnias would be much appreciated :)

Building report - High moisture reading in walls - advice appreciated :)
Hi All,
Complete newbie to the game - first time poster seeking some advice, apologies for length! Currently looking at purchasing our first property in Melbourne (a 2 bedroom free-standing weatherboard house), and have carried out a B&P inspection. For the most part, all fairly minor items in the report, apart from 1 - several rooms have high moisture readings. (see attached photos).
I have a couple of questions and would appreciate some guidance! :)
  • First of all, how Concerned should I be? Contract is subject to Finance/Building and Pest report - worst case scenario assume I could pull out if i need to?
  • The inspector had mentioned when I called him that this could potentially be due to poor ventilation and/or grading in the subfloor, and that there may be issues with the sloping/drainage. He couldnt get access the subfloor but had noticed moisture in the soil. He had also noticed some unevenness in floorboards which might be related.
  • Lastly, if i were to get someone to look at this to assess just how big an issue it actually is, who would be the best eqiupped? Someone who specialises in Damp/Moisture, or given its potentially an issue with the subfloor someone who deals in re-stumping/flooring?
Appreciate any advice received!
Cheers,
  • S

2024.05.29 00:48 Califanoal Zeus North America Mining (ZEUS.c) Announces 2024 Exploration Plans for Cuddy Mountain Copper/Silver Project After Significant Nearby Discoveries and Staking Rush

Zeus North America Mining (ZEUS.c) Announces 2024 Exploration Plans for Cuddy Mountain CoppeSilver Project After Significant Nearby Discoveries and Staking Rush
Zeus North America Mining Corp. (Ticker: ZEUS.c or ZUUZF for US investors) recently revealed its 2024 exploration plans for its Cuddy Mountain Property, situated next to Hercules Silver Corp.’s Hercules Project, where a major copper porphyry discovery was found.
Cuddy Mountain shares geological traits with the adjacent Hercules Property, including Olds Ferry terrane rocks, historical silver occurrences in rhyolite, the Bayhorse Thrust Fault, and exposure of mineral-rich formations beneath younger basalts.
Hercules' discovery at its Hercules Project revealed a significant intersection: 185 meters at 0.84% Copper, 111 ppm Molybdenum, and 2.6 g/t Silver, with a 45-meter segment at 1.95% Copper, highlighting the potential of ZEUS’ neighboring Cuddy Mountain Property.
This discovery spurred a staking rush in the area, with significant claims by Barrick Gold and Rio Tinto, further underscoring the high potential of the area.

Dean Besserer, President and CEO of ZEUS, commented that this staking rush is among the biggest he has witnessed in his career despite it not yet being widely recognized. He expressed excitement over ZEUS having a property directly adjacent to this major discovery and on the same key geological structure.
Under their 2024 exploration plan, ZEUS will start a comprehensive exploration at Cuddy Mountain, contracting Dias Geophysical Ltd. for a 3D-DCIP Induced Polarization (IP) and Resistivity Survey during the spring and summer to identify mineralization zones.
The program includes detailed soil sampling, mapping, rock grab sampling, and high-resolution ground magnetics to target high-priority drilling areas
Additionally, ZEUS plans to do reconnaissance prospecting and rock grab sampling at its Selway and Great Western properties in Idaho, assessing potential for silver, copper, gold, lead, and zinc, with further field programs to follow based on results.

2024.05.28 22:36 karsizzle Quick fix for soil that is too chunky?

Hello! I’m new to the chunky soil world and I used Molly’s Aroid Mix for my Philodendron Verrucosum (that I repotted and added a moss pole to) that I keep at my office. I’m unfortunately only in three days a week and was gone for 5 days and came back with very droopy leaves/possibly some dead ones. Any suggestions for helping to improve moisture retention without repotting again? Or should I add some regular soil and repot?

overwatered or…?
sad she only has two nice leaves now and one new one on the way. she was perfect a month or so ago when i got her at the nursery. i have not repotted, her original plastic pot is sitting inside the ceramic pot. she is outside in southern california, under a roofed patio and gets indirect bright light. i usually water only when moisture meter reads dry but was out of town and my friend might have watered her again without checking the soil.

When should I water my raindrop peperomia?
I got this raindrop peperomia. I have a tendency to overwater peperomias, so I got a moisture meter. What should the moisture meter mark before I water it? Today is marking a 2, should I wait until it's completely dry (a 1) or a number between 1 and 3 is enough?

2024.05.28 18:52 dirtworkdevil Proctors

Hey everyone, I’m hoping this is a good place to drop this as I’m just an equipment operator so geotech is a bit out of my zone I just can’t get any answers on my job and would like to think I’m smart enough to put two and two together. So obviously a proctor is like a sample of your soil/dirt and when you test your lift of dirt it’s gotta pass compaction and moisture. My question is how normal is it to just switch proctors when you fail test instead of reprocessing the dirt. I’ve heard from the GF we’ve got about 25+ proctors but as the guy who literally runs a 627 all day we’ve got maybe 5-6 “different” dirts including topsoil. Is this normal or cutting corners to save time? Thanks for all the input!
TLDR; is it normal to forgo reprocessing and just switch proctors?

2024.05.28 18:10 Ill_Lawyer_8484 Coffee grounds ☕️🌶️

Coffee grounds ☕️🌶️
Hi All,
I have sourced a huge amount of used coffee grounds.
Question:
Is there too much coffee grounds that can be added to soil?
My plan is to add the grounds to the in-planter composter because worms love them and they help their digestion. I also plan to add them to the root watering system (buried bottles).
I have 2 non established planters. The planters are 1 meter x 1.2 meter x 0.6 meter. I am planning on filling them to around 0.4 and saving 0.2 for mulch.
I have approx 10kgs available daily of the stuff, for FREE, so it’s important to know what too much is.
I don’t want to over fertilise with coffee grounds if that is possible. I assume that it is.
I also fertilise with a water soluble seed weed solution and the planters have been fertilised with Blood Fish and Bone.
Keen for your input.
Thanks

2024.05.28 17:45 digitalurns Moisture meter help

I just bought a moisture meter but I wanna be sure I’m doing things correctly.. i know you can find guides on when you should water certain plants according to the meter but there’s a ton I can’t seem to find on google. Should you always water when the meter reads dry? And should you typically water until the reading says wet?

2024.05.28 16:51 DontRushACake Drooping leaves. What do I do?

Drooping leaves. What do I do?
I’ve had my BOP for like 2 months now and noticed the leaves stared drooping. I’ll say that I did make a mistake by leaving it next to the ac vent. Because that’s where my window is. But how bad is it? And how can I revive it? I water once a week depending on the moisture of the soil, and it’s in a pot with drainage.
