Interesting. Do you know if this is a problem on the west coast? The article leaves it vague, with some indication that it may only be a Florida problem
I had a volunteer milkweed this year in my small raised bed/container garden. Early into the season it developed a yellow aphid infestation. I was horrified! They were disgusting things (and far, far too many of them). While I was interested in an insect garden, I was worried spread to nearby plants, specifically my prized blackberries, affecting yields. I researched and treated the aphid infestation with Neem Oil and basically killed the living population. Success! Or so I thought… After I traveled for about a month, I returned to see the aphids had rebounded in full force. An interesting thing though, neither had they spread to other plants. Even more interesting there were ladybugs, there were beetles, there were wasps, there was even a praying mantis. I wouldn’t say the milkweed is super happy about the arrangement, but it is growing, and it was a volunteer into the garden. Overall it’s been the best plant of the season by far teaching me a little bit about ecosystems. TLDR: my aphid infestation totally allowed my predator insect population to boom

I was thinking something akin to this setup.
I don’t know much about vermi composting, but I am thinking of giving it a go. Does anyone have a good resource, knowledge, or recommendation on where to start? My thoughts were to get a couple metal grated waste baskets, a bunch of earth worms and put one in each of my raised garden beds. Or should I run an experiment and do one bed and not the other? What are its benefits? Downsides(rodents,possums for instance)? Guidance is appreciated.

Thank you,
All I did was recompose the scene though. The bear, rabbit, and raccoon are just renderings from reference.
I rather like the idea of a kungfu rabbit, it hadn’t even occurred to me until it was mentioned here.
Off topic?: I have been using AI images a lot for reference, and I am uncertain about a lot of things* but I will say parts of it let me pick and choose what parts are interesting. Ideally I’d like to start storyboarding using some level of this technique.
*Like is AI being trained on everyone’s data, but the profits are certain to be privatized, how is that ethical?

Have you thought about adding leaves with ink? There should be a number of linear ink tutorials that might help with definition.

There was a guy on public access TV that used to draw sci-fi scenes using tubes. This reminds me of that. Thank you.

Would you mind if I asked you how you transferred the drawing to 3D? I use fusion360, and the process can be a bit finicky.
Ideally I would like to take a drawing and convert it into a stamp

More honestly though.
Referencing makes a lot of sense with helping improve ‘art’. Think of When you practice in art class the warmups they give where you draw a picture. I think the most informative critique is when there is a reference to compare to.

I started noticing small white flecks on my blackberry vines. Is this something to worry about? Mildew? I have hard water, but doubt it’s mineral deposits.
