Every 100th page, there will be a small, “unobtrusive” ad near the bottom of the page. Just to cover rising publishing/paper costs. Then it will be every 50th page, 25th page. Then the ad will get bigger, little by little, until a full page advert is shown every few pages.

Just reinvented a magazine, I know but I could see it happening. The fact that we now have ads showing up in cars at red lights…

I certainly don’t have “grow lights” which is why I think I’m having the heat issue. I am certainly in the camp of getting 80% there for a fraction of the price!

Thanks for the reply!

What lights are you using? I have a set of lights but they seem to produce way more heat than usable light? If I put the lights closer, they burn the seedlings, if I move them too far away, the seedlings get leggy.

Glad I’m not alone in this. Tight budgeting that slowly trickles down to negative and then the tax credits come in and give us a boost to hopefully last the next year.

I highly recommend you check out a book called “A Bold Return to Giving a Damn”. It’s about a cattle rancher who turned his ranch into a form of regenerate agriculture. One of his main point is that the current meat industry provides cheap meat that is subsidized by the environment. His ranch is called White Oak Pastures. Fascinating book and definitely changed the way I look at meat consumption. I still eat meat but my extended family raises a cow every year so I think its a little but better than the industrial food system currently at work.

Like, I knew that, but it is still insane to think about how those people having a greater representation in the federal government than the city I live in that has just over 500k people.
