Starting a food forest in your room.

You will need a grow light, row cover fabric, a sewing kit, measuring tape, a regular plant tray (without subdivisions) (i.e. 30x60x5cm) and cardboard, either corrugated plastic sheets or regular paper cardboard. Though the plastic ones are much more sturdy. Cut row cover fabric into 18x14cm rectangles, one for each pot you need. Then fold them in half lengthwise, and stitch along a short side…

Chestnuts by Fir0002

A mast tree (one that makes fruits, nuts or berries) is an investment more reliable than the stock market, it doesn’t give you 14% return, a chestnut tree gives you 1400% return over 20 years, while a seedling costs $15, starting in second to fifth year it starts feeding you, and ramps up for 20 years by which time it is paying you a months worth of calories every year…

Christian Question: How to have Forgiveness and Compassion for Satan?

A lady gave a talk about the calling of the prophet, and how there are prophets in this day, and that prophets must accept the…

I sent this letter to Tony Robbins at his resort in Fiji. Figured I would make it an open letter, to improve the chances of him seeing it, and allow the public to become used to the concept so it doesn’t come as a shock later on if Tony Robbins or some other Good Millionaire decides they are interested in this Immortality Option.  I feel really warmhearted about offering immortality to “Good…
