This is the funniest caterpillar I've seen. It's just a stack of frowny faces. (Water betony, shargacucullia scrophulariae) (beehaw.org)
 

Every time I look at this picture I just giggle.

I second this, I could do with a guinea pig overload in my life!

Recap Monday: What did you play this week? in c/boardgames@feddit.de

Tried Gigawatt for the first time this weekend with friends. It's a game about countries in Europe trying to transform their energy production into green energy while simultaneously meeting the growing energy demands, balancing the power net, and making sure you don't go broke. At first glance it seemed a lot simpler than the games I usually enjoy, but it surprised me with interesting strategic choices and a pretty good balance. And the theme is very well executed and (to my knowledge) quite accurate to the real world. Would recommend.

Also played a few games of Frosthaven, we just entered the third year in the campaign. Playing Shackles and Astral. Really loving the experience so far.

Lastly had a few rounds of The Crew, it's such a good little game for almost any occasion and group!

In-ground (worm) composting? (beehaw.org)
 

I have a happy worm bin that takes care of most of my composting needs. I use the castings around my garden, mostly when I'm planting something new, but I also feed my established plants with it when I can.

But! I've also been thinking it'd be great to deliver castings right into the ground, and would love to use semi-buried containers in the beds to compost right there. There are plenty of native composting worms in my location.

I have a bunch of small (1-1.5 liter ish?) buckets with lids that I'd love to repurpose for this. I was thinking I'd make a bunch of holes in the body and lid of the buckets, and bury them up to the rim. Then fill with some bedding and some scraps, and inoculate with come castings and some worms. And just feed whenever there's space, hoping the castings spread a bit into the ground, or otherwise dig it up when it's full of castings and bury it in a new spot.

My main concern is that the buckets would be too small. The reason I'm aiming for this size is honestly because I want to use these containers for something useful instead of tossing them out. I'd love any suggestions and to hear about your experiences with in-ground composting!
