Gotta get those microplastics right in there by the roots
- It's what plants crave
- solid blocks of plastic create microplastics when sitting in dirt?
  
  yes
  
  Acidic soil + UV, for sure.
- 🙄
  
  I don't get it. Are you a microplastics denier or something?
Me and my wife chose a more sporky solution.
- Good and cheap solution!
  
  And better than putting more plastic in the dirt.
These are cute, but I use popsicle sticks personally. Fast/easy. Now drip trays and even pots... those I have been known to print.
Alright, well, I thought these were really cool. Just sayin'
Do we just have enough micro plastics already in the water and soil that these don't make a measurable difference?
- I mean do you really think these would make a measurable difference? I'd be really surprised.
I am a terrible gardener as I only recognize zucchini.
- They're written in German/Austrian.
  
  Paradeiser is tomato,
  Kürbis is pumpkin,
  Melone is melon,
  Salatgurke is cucumber,
  Melanzani is eggplant.
  
  I'm a native speaker and I've never heard Paradeiser until three weeks ago
In April comes the "Bubatz" one? 🥸
- austria too?
  
  Oh is he Austrian? Whoops. I guess not then. But our brothers and sisters from the Alps are more then welcome to join us :D
  
  indeed I am
Found the Austrian
Pics of your Salatgurke or it didn't happen
How to say you're from Austria, without saying you're from Austria.

But nice signs.
Hello fellow Austrian 👋
You don't have enough zucchini markers.

Hmm. How many kilos do you have? It doesn't really matter how much zucchini you plant - you will need at least three times as many markers as you think.
I have a different approach. I print very thin 0.2mm plastic strips and use label maker on them.
- might as well cut up old yogurt containers
  
  Or that.

planing

Well I've used a thickness planer but it wasn't good for field work. I have a hand plane but please let me know how I could use it on my garden.
I wanted to make something similar for my mom's garden, but yours look way better than what I had in mind. Thanks.
No Triffid markers??

Normal ppl, harrumph.

: P
- TIL :)
