Comment on This one's for the gardeners ;)

I plant too many seeds. I’m hoping there’s enough genetic diversity that there is a plant in there that wants to exist no matter how much I ignore it. That’s the plan time I want on my property. I want it to make the seeds for the next generation. I want the lowest maintenance plants possible. I will plant 25 tomato seeds and hope that one makes it through. If it doesn’t then it wasn’t the right tomatoes from me. But that one that does survive gets to go all the way to fruiting and then ferment in its own disgustingness until I pull those seeds out and save them for next year. Because those are the seeds that I can put in the ground and ignore until it’s time to harvest.

  A couple months after I moved in I had a bad feeling about our septic tank. I called people out to check it. They pulled the cap and part of the freaking mortar retaining wall that was the septic tank moved in a way that brick and mortar should not. Fears confirmed.
  
  $7,000 later I had a new septic tank and I had them dig a new leach field into the front yard so it wouldn’t cause problems with the plants and livestock.
  
  I’m all about survival the fittest but at the same time I didn’t want human pathogens in my veggies in my yard bird eggs. Just say no to e coli.

    I could have done just the tank for about half the cost. The old drain field was completely useless because it wasn’t even close to code compliant. But with the field I helped ensure less frequent pumping. Which saves money in the very long term. So I got a new drain field.

  This sounds like it’s right for abuse in selection bias. Needs more blinding so he doesn’t know which color they are squeezing.

    Bad study design. They need an advisor.
