    Well, if you need to buy these seed in the first place, then you’re probably not in an environment where they’d usually grow. It takes time. At least more than one season to get it going.

    My local municipality planted local wild annual seeds all over the city two years ago. It made a nice news article, but the flowers are all gone by now because they didn’t re-seed.

    When buying these kind of seeds pay attention to labels saying whether they’re annual, perennial or multi season etc.

    Both are fine, but just to avoid the disappointment of thinking your project failed when the flowers don’t come again the following year.

    Annual flowers are usually a lot cheaper, so you can easily reseeed every year until you have established a more self sustainable garden.




  • Yes. Agriculture is an industry.

    Coincidentally, the development in painting techniques happened alongside the industrial revolution, so a lot of the art from the 1800s showing massive fields of agriculture and often regarded as “idyllic landscapes” have shaped the public opinion of what idyllic landscapes are.

    The artists were really just documenting the achievements of an industry. While fields of crops appear pleasing to the eye in one or two months of the year, the idea of agriculture being idyllic is a two century old idea of “hey that’s a pretty neat painting” carried over through generations.

    Agriculture is not idyllic. It’s literally spreading shit on the ground to prepare the soil for continuous abuse, instead of having actual idyllic nature.

    Agriculture is creating a desert that fits a certain production.

    I don’t mind a field of wheat existing. It makes sense to make bread. I do however mind having more than 70% of the available land taken over by very few individuals doing a very destructive industry.

    We all know “fuckcars”, “fuckgolf” and “fucklawns” etc. , but if you want to fight against climate changes, I’m telling you that there’s a bigger enemy out there in plain view.

    If he’s close to 80 and did this in his 20s that’d be in the 1960s.

    This is before chartered tourism was a thing and probably during the kingdom before the following dictatorship from the Junta coup in 1967.

    That’s a pretty wild place to be as a Swedish hippie. Especially since the hippies didn’t really happen until the end of the 60s. I also find it unlikely that the police would have any interest in pursuing anything from that time or even have records of their visas.

    I’m not saying it’s bogus, but for a history teacher, he should probably get the year right and admit that it happened in the 1990s when he was closer to 50 years old.

    Whoever is interested in buying old milk could easily make their own for cheap, but if they’re in a hurry to get it, $1 is waaaay too cheap.

    (I’m going to switch to euro units.) It probably costs more in rent and electricity to keep a jug of milk stored in the fridge for 5 years.

    Let’s say you rent a small cheap apartment with 50 sqm. for let’s say 400€ monthly somewhere in a small rural European town. That’ll be €24000 for five years. The fridge takes up 1 of the 50 sqm., so that’s €480. Can a fridge contain 480 jugs of chocolate milk? Nuh uh.

    A standard fridge could maybe hold 200 liters. The jug in the picture looks like half a gallon, or 2 liters, so it could hold 100 jugs. The rent alone would then be €4.8 to produce a five year old gallon of old chocolate milk and this idiot is selling it for $1. What a fool.
