Taking a multivitamin everyday to "improve health" has always been a myth. Even so-called whole food multis contain at least a few synthetic vitamins.

Large Study Links Daily Multivitamin Use to Increased Mortality Risk
While nearly one in three Americans takes a daily multivitamin, a large study challenges the belief that these supplements improve health or promote longevity.

Biological Transmutations | Louis V Kervran
From the foreward:
In 1799 the French chemist Vauquelin was so intrigued by the quantity of lime excreted every day by hens that he decided to put a hen in a cage and feed it oats exclusively. Having measured the quantity of lime that was present in a pound of oats, he gave the oats to the hen. When the grains had been eaten, he analyzed the quantity of lime excreted through the eggs and fecal matter. The hen was found to have excreted five times more lime than it had taken in the food. Vauquelin concluded that lime had been created, but he could not determine the cause.
In 1822 Prout, an Englishman, was the first to clearly define the problems of the transmutation of elements. He systematically studied the increase of limestone (a compound consisting chiefly of calcium carbonate) inside an incubating chicken egg, proving that limestone is not contributed by the shell.
In 1831 the Frenchman Chouard let watercress seeds germinate in an insoluble dish (sand, glass, etc., washed with acids, rinsed with water, heated). He verified that the young plants contained minerals which had not existed in the seeds.
Others followed. In 1844 Vogel experimented with watercress seeds placed under a large bell jar. Keeping the air βanalyzed,β he added a nutritive solution containing no sulfur whatsoever. After their germination he analyzed the young plants, finding that they contained more sulfur than the seeds from which they stemmed. This phenomenon remained obscure to Vogel, who concluded that either sulfur is not a simple body or there was an unknown source of sulfur.
A few years later Lauwes and Gilbert considered the weight variation of ashes during vegetation. They observed, in analyzing the ashes, an inexplicable variation in the amount of magnesium. In 1875 von Herzeele went a step further by verifying a weight increase in the ashes of young plants stemmed from germinating seeds. He made a culture without soil in a well-studied medium. Later on he carried out experiments related to Vogelβs earlier study of the weight variation of magnesium, already considered by Lauwes and Gilbert. Von Herzeele then concluded that there was a transmutation of elements.
He seems to have been the first to research the origin and destination of an element. His remarkable work remained without echo in the scientific world. In 1950 Hauschka took it out of the dark to publish von Herzeeleβs findings in one of his books.

The debate between ducks and chickens won't end. It is like Samsung or iPhone? Cannon or Nikon? Carnivore or vegetarian?
I feel that ducks are scoopers and poopers. I love that their eggs almost never go bad! In all the years I've had ducks, I've never seen a bad egg. (Same goes for guineafowl eggs.)
My ducks are free roam, and they seem to be a lot more predator-resistant. They fly very gracefully and sound like helicopters landing. They can survive on foraging alone, surprisingly. Finding their eggs in random places is super irritating, though! They are a lot harder to defeather. A definite downside is that their meat is not chicken!

βSoil microbes don't just coexistβthey communicate.
Through quorum sensing, bacteria and fungi synchronize, coordinating group actions based on their population density.
This sophisticated system drives nutrient cycling, disease suppression, and drought resilience.
How it works:
Quorum sensing relies on chemical signalsβprimarily molecules like acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) in bacteria.
As populations grow, these signals accumulate. When they reach a critical threshold, they trigger collective behaviors:
β’ Biofilm formation
β’ Antibiotic production
β’ Nutrient release
Think of it as nature's switchboard. Below the threshold, microbes operate independently; above it, they function as a coordinated community.
In saline conditions, quorum sensing triggers wheat-associated bacteria to enhance root thickness by 67%, boosting drought resistance.
Plants are active participants:
β’ Tomato roots detect bacterial signals, developing more lateral roots for nutrient uptake
β’ Legumes use these signals to attract nitrogen-fixing rhizobia, reducing fertilizer needs by up to 40%
Diversity amplifies the benefits:
β’ Monocultures suppress quorum sensing
β’ Diverse cropping systems enhance microbial communication
β’ Result: improved soil structure, water retention, and nutrient cycling
β’ Evidence: glomalin (a soil-binding protein) triples in diverse systems
Supporting microbial communication:
β’ Maintain living roots year-round
β’ Minimize soil disturbance to protect fungal networks
β’ Apply quality biological amendments
β’ Implement diverse crop rotations
β’ Reduce chemical inputs that disrupt microbial communities
The rhizosphere is more than a nutrient exchange zoneβit's an underground communication network where microbes and plants collaborate.
By nurturing these microbial conversations through regenerative agronomy, we build resilient soils, stronger crops, and sustainable farms.ββ Sam Knowlton

Vinegar Kills Weeds
I bought a bottle of "Horticultural Vinegar" β which means that it's 30% acidity and is used to kill weeds.
I sprayed them on some patio weeds. I took a picture before and a few hours after application. I'm happy with the results. I'm going to reapply to a couple of the lesser effected weeds and see what happens.
I didn't poison myself, my children, the soil biome, the bees, the birds, and the world at large with glyphosate, i.e "Roundup", either. Win.
