How to Grow Wasabi in Containers at Home

Growing wasabi in containers at home can be a rewarding challenge for gardening enthusiasts. Known for its pungent flavor essential in Japanese cuisine, Wasabia japonica can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with the right care and conditions. Here’s a detailed guide to help you embark on this exciting gardening adventure.

1. Choosing the Right Container and Location:

For both indoor and outdoor cultivation, select a large container with ample drainage. Wasabi plants need room to grow, so opt for a container that is at least 12 inches deep and wide. If growing indoors, place the container in an area with stable, cool temperatures and indirect sunlight. Outdoors, choose a shaded spot, as wasabi does not tolerate direct sunlight.

2. Preparing the Soil:

Wasabi prefers a rich, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Mix potting soil with organic matter like compost to enhance nutrient content. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Adding perlite or vermiculite can improve drainage.

3. Planting the Wasabi:

My DIY Hand Sanitizer Adventure

It all began with good intentions – a desire to create a homemade hand sanitizer using common household ingredients. Armed with rubbing alcohol, aloe vera gel, and essential oils, the plan was to whip up an effective and fragrant solution. Little did I know, fate had other ideas.

The Twist:

As I gathered the ingredients on my kitchen counter, a sudden realization struck – I was out of aloe vera gel! Determined to improvise, I scoured my pantry for alternatives, only to stumble upon a bottle of rum. In a lighthearted moment of spontaneity, I decided to use it as a substitute for the missing aloe vera gel.

The Unintended Mix:

Blending the rum with rubbing alcohol created a unique, aromatic blend, and it wasn’t long before the familiar scent of a well-known cocktail wafted through the air. It was then that I noticed a can of cola in my refrigerator, and the idea struck me – why not turn this hand sanitizer mishap into a makeshift rum and coke?

The Result:

Surprisingly, the improvised hand sanitizer-turned-rum-and-coke concoction turned out to be a delightful and unexpected success. With the aromatic essence of rubbing alcohol, the soothing properties of aloe vera replaced by the smoothness of rum, and a hint of essential oil lingering in the background, I found myself with an unintentional yet surprisingly enjoyable beverage.

Old clothes waching machine

For many of us, history is something that we took in school and we probably forgot more about what we learned in the class than what we remembered. It may not be the favorite subject for all of us, but there are some interesting things that can be learned from it.

That includes what we have in this interesting picture. It is something out of history that was used by millions of people but is not necessarily something that is recognized today. In fact, we would venture to say that most people would not know what it is.

In case you haven’t figured it out by this point, it has to do with laundry. Doing laundry is something that has been done for thousands of years, although the methods of doing so have changed as the millennia continue to roll body.

There are actually things you can do with your grass clippings

Figuring out what to do with the grass clippings created when mowing our lawns can be quite a quandary at times. As landfills continue to fill at alarming speeds — with up to 20% of the refuse being yard waste! — many are banning grass clippings all together.
So if we can’t dispose of the clippings in the garbage, what are we supposed to do with them? One of the best things you can do is just leave them on the lawn, but here are some other resourceful ideas …

1. Leave them on the lawn

One of the easiest things to do with your grass clippings is to mulch them as you mow (many lawnmowers have this option) and leave them right on the lawn. This practice is known as grasscycling and has many benefits for your lawn. It helps to cut down on water use and also adds extra nitrogen, reducing the need for fertilizers.

2. Fill raised beds

Building raised beds can be an expensive endeavor when it comes to filling them with soil. To help offset the cost you can use grass clippings to take up space in the bottom half of the bed. Just be careful not to fill the beds with more than 1/4 or so from grass.

3. Make a liquid plant food
