Pulverized leaves as fertilizer helper...
Thank you. Yes, plain vegetable gardening as tomatoes, lettuce, onions, garlic, artichokes, melon, cucumber, herbs, a few trees as plum, pear, peach. Donor leaves are maple, red bud, grass and whatever wind brings from neighbors. Abundant worms in soil. Plan is add leaves dust every year if can be beneficial.

Pulverized leaves as fertilizer helper...
Hi. Yes, shredding (milling) leaves to dust (fine powder as flour) and added to soil is the question. Nothing involving composting. No, simply adding the dry leaves as fallen in autumn, milled to dust form to soils being tilled to help fertility, not mulching as soil covering, without any rotting or composting,

Pulverized leaves as fertilizer helper...
Hi, thanks. They never stop flying and ask for daily raking from everywhere else if left on a pile. I do not do compost 😟 This is mostly about beneficial uses and tinkering with milling. 😉

Pulverized leaves as fertilizer helper...
Greetings. Is adding dry, pulverized-to-dust leaves a decent, beneficial way to fertilize soil for growing the same/other species that yielded those leaves ? Is there a non-industrial (not costly as for personal yard use) method to mill leaves to powder by converting/repurposing existing household appliances ? -Perhaps a clever modification for a discarded clothesdryer machine, a blender, a ...- A few cubic metres of leaves once or twice a year should do it.

Help in attempt finding a website, please ?
Thank you for the good effort, Sensei. The original image, is unobtanium in any other format. Probable names associated "airscrew" or "air screw" did not produce results. Will build the device to re-create a picture of it, will yield a much better image than the low resolution of very early digital cameras.

Good day. Perhaps it does not exist any more; or someone has searching skills I need to learn... Web site contained this tri-part image : [ Image-search was unsuccessful to me. ] Obtained/downloaded ~1995, before existance of internet archives.

Drain hole in planters... [botanics]
Hello. This is about mostly unattended plants. Some plants in my yard are grown in containers. The drain perforation is standard at the bottom. Never seen other. Well, usually flawed. Plants get thirsty or die if rain is not periodic enough. Some planters with the drain hole covered or no drain hole can drown if rains too often. Usually flawed. What is your opinion in having about half way on the side of the planter container, the drain hole ? Will not drown; will be harder to become dry as would hold very moist or wet soil at bottom. for a much longer time. Have not tried yet but soon to experiment... after your comments.

Thank you. One more variable that I did not expect added to the table... the combination of different microorganisms.

Squeeze type piezoelectric igniter...
Clumsy short one-handed video, but may show the sparks when gently squeezed/released. For sure there is no impact action : VID_20211018_163624.mp4

Squeeze type piezoelectric igniter...
Hi. Bought this over 20 years ago at a 99 cent store just because was different. Took a short video but became too large and refused to insert here. Well, has a squeezable handle instead of an striker trigger as most. Emits several sparks in about 5mm of squeezing; looks like ----> https://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-OPL1-R-Piezoelectric-Kitchen-Flameless/dp/B01MSKDG51 Is there a major difference in operation principle ? Squeezing instead of striking the crystal ? I presume squeezing bends the piezo crystal.

The other Titanic...
Hi. Received a short conspiratory video from friends in relation to the sunken ship Titanic; where explains that it was not, but its twin "Olympic" after a name swap due to insurance manipulations after the Olympic had a costly accident. Other suspicious actions from owners of the ships also 'exposed' Like the hull was not ripped by an iceberg but a explosion by the stern instead, shown by pictures at the bottom of sea. (?). Do you know of more details or a oscure report to read somewhere ?

Has household electrical energy consumption increased or decreased ?
Hi. Say in the last 20 years; from computers using 150 Watts and now barely 10; light bulbs from 60 watts now using 9 Watts, televisions from consuming like 150 Watts and now about 12W; refrigerators and water heaters with better insulation, heat pump technologies advancing... Even a few solar panels implemented contribute a bit for less grid consumption. Power plants have increased their generation or decreased ? If increased, should be for industrial/commercial consumption, is it ?

DNS trouble... what causes it ?
Thanks. Understand the DNS 'directory'. So the external server is the one troubling, not my comfuser... Well, another computer at home running on the same house network did not fail its DNS. 🤨 The image paragraph just before "2.-" below fixed it; but has a typographical error that I caught and corrected. "udo" for "sudo" ---> https://www.cloudns.net/blog/dns-probe-finished-nxdomain-explained/ I was scratching my head if the sharp time of DNS failure had something to do with the service provider...

DNS trouble... what causes it ?
Greetings. My compfuser stopped navigating the net by 00:00 GMT on 01 Oct. 8 of 10 web sites reported : Few web sites did work and showed up normally. Tried fixes shown on the web that claimed being a simple failure; two did nothing, a third fixed this DNS thing. Am back to 'normal' I do not care what is the nature of the repair; I would like to know what causes such. Was working normal and later, something changed. And I did not do anything or tweaked or downloaded or changed settings. What event caused it, came from where ? Altered my equipment for what reason ? How did it get into effect ? Where did it come from ? On Firefox and on Chrome browsers, same behavior. [Am running Linux] Running

Is it called 'wax' seal ?
Thanks, MigL. The intention is to be able to fill and empty cylinders with CGGA870 from a CGA850 terminated hose. Cannot rely on someone doing a 4000+psi safe welding. Thinking now on disemboweling/machining threads to the pertinent section of a CGA870 regulator (green) and buying a spare CGA850 valve to join them and achieve your suggestion. Will explore the safety of that; would be a clumsy bulky contraption.

Is it called 'wax' seal ?
The avatar has nothing to do with it. 😱 Trying to make a coupling disc from CGA870 to CGA850 valves to fill high pressure cylinders. The double sided impression resulting "coin" to be given to a machinist to be replicated in metal. Tried other way with blueprints, and they give up or break my tooling, or claim not to have the proper equipment.

Is it called 'wax' seal ?
Thanks, gentlemen. The word "wax" does not play well with its characteristics. Will check if the "sealing wax" product available at a nearby "Hobby Lobby" store is hard enough when dry/set and not too sticky when applied as to allow release. ---> https://www.hobbylobby.com/Scrapbook-Paper-Crafts/Card-Making/Wax-Seals/Glue-Gun-Sealing-Wax/p/WS7812

Is it called 'wax' seal ?
Hi. Those seals in medieval and later documents, is it 'wax'? Seen them in liquor bottles also. They are hard as rock. Anyone knows how to prepare a small amount for obtaining a relief pattern to yield a negative ? Should be not sticky and dry hard. Or any other plasticky modern material. -Image borrowed from the web.-

Losing heat by radiation since millions of years ago, can the mantle be just that, cooled slag on top of a molten core ?
