inThat new flux-cored wire I tried on a 3/4 plate nearly cost me a redo
Flux core's out here writing checks its slag can't cash.

inPlastic pots versus fabric bags, I finally switched after root rot killed my peppers
Switched half my tomatoes to fabric bags two summers ago and the difference in root health was wild, though I did lose one bag to a squirrel that chewed a hole right through the side looking for moisture. Ended up setting the bags on those cheap wire plant stands so air gets underneath and the runoff just drips onto the concrete instead of soaking my deck boards. Still hunting for a saucer that actually stays put when I move them around though.

inVent: the DoorDash driver who picked up from my home kitchen in Sacramento told me my tamales were leaking through the bag
That leaking is a real problem because masa basically turns to soup once it gets hot and steams in that bag. I've seen it happen with the ones wrapped in foil too, the grease from the filling just soaks right through the paper. Drivers probably think you handed them a busted order when it's really just tamales being tamales. If it's happening a lot maybe double bag them or use those foil pans with lids, but then you eat the cost on packaging. Sucks either way because a bad first impression with a driver can tank your ratings for no good reason.
