The FBI has an entire fake town for training agents. “Hogan’s Alley” has a bank, post office, hotel, laundromat, barber shop, pool hall, shops, and homes. The town is populated by actors who role play parts like bystanders, terrorists, bank robbers, and drug dealers.
This water-saving ‘ready-made garden’ design is popular among urban gardeners here in Denmark: it’s comprised of a simple styrofoam planter, and a 40L soil bag.
Holes are cut in the top and bottom of the soil bag, and soil is pushed into three pillars that reach down into a water reservoir. The reservoir is filled with water and fertiliser through a channel on the side of the planter; capillary action (and eventually, plant roots) draw the water up.
The rate of evaporation is much lower with bottom-watered plants, and the styrofoam also keeps the water cool. The reservoir can hold a week or more of water.
A popular DIY version involves using plastic tubs, creating a reservoir underneath with bottles, or a permeable barrier.

And the demand for this shit literally causes Afghan farmers to forego growing food to feed their families and sell because poppy is so profitable. Saw it daily.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
