Not a stupid question at all! This method works for several reasons:

• Typical soil contains the majority of nutrients in the topsoil layer, which is roughly 1-10in (2.5-25cm) deep. Because compost is added up to 2ft (60cm) deep, roots will grow much deeper to take advantage of the easily accessible nutrients.
• When the soil is kept loose, plants can grow roots through it much easier; French intensive gardening focuses on loosening the soil very deeply and avoids compacting it so plants don’t have to expend as much energy pushing their roots through hard soil.
• As a result of plants growing roots deeper rather than wider, they’re able to be planted much more densely and grow more produce than market gardening in the same size plot!

I feel the same way; having a mix of high- and low-intensity tasks in a workday stresses me out less because I can use the easier tasks as a warmup or cooldown for the larger tasks.

As a pansexual, it can often feel like I’m getting shit on from all sides; transphobes because I date trans people, homophobes because I like kissing other guys, and most distressing of all from the queer community who can have a problem with biphobia (because I have straight-passing privilege, I assume).

There’s also a LOT more women who are unwilling to date men who date men/trans people than there are men who refuse to date women who’ve been with women, for example. I assume this is due in part to bisexual/lesbian women being sexualized for the mainstream, and also because lesbian relationships are seen as “less serious” than M/F or M/M relationships. A woman who sleeps with women might be seen as “going through a phase” or “playing around”, but a guy who sleeps with guys is often seen as irrevocably tainted by homosexuality.

I hope that the main takeaway from people here is not to cut funding/grants to farms, but rather to revise them as the article states in order to incentivize growing healthier food options.

The face looks proportional and I really like the shading of the cheeks as it gives the face a lot more depth! The left side of the hair looks good; I like how it’s colored darker than the closer right side, again it helps with perspective. The right side looks off to me for some reason, but I can’t quite put my finger on it, sorry. It looks like you’re still working on your linework, and I don’t have much useful advice there; it’s something I struggle with too.

I appreciate your work moderating and growing a community <3

I’m a very adventurous eating so I’ve had the chance to eat a bunch of different foods but my list of meats to try include goose, horse, dog, emu, and snake.

I had the chance to try durian fruit chunks and durian ice cream! It tasted like sucking on a wet, slightly used dishrag. It was an… interesting flavor, but one I’m glad I got to try; I was only able to eat a third of my serving because the taste became more overbearing as I ate.

Kangaroo tastes great and didn’t taste at all gamey to me. I had a kangaroo steak medallion and I’d say it had a slightly richer meat flavor, but was much leaner than beef. Goat tends to be very tough and chewy, but I’ve only had it in curries so I can’t speak to its flavor much.
