So you can grow a newspaper plant?

Wouldn’t recycling the newspaper make more sense?

We have many news papers that would make great fertilizer.

Ruby’s boyfriend bought her a diamond ring. The stone was cut in the shape of a four leaf clover. She wore it all the time to show how much it meant to her.

One day, she got curious and had it valued at a jeweller’s. Unfortunately they told her that her boyfriend had been swindled, as the diamond was actually a cubic zirconia.

It was a sham rock.

So, you can’t plant it without reading it?

You can plant any newspaper, it’s the results that differ.

Food for thought

You can plant anything you read.

Plant it or use it for weed barrier?

I hope it’s printed using soy inks

At Fukushima no doubt…

I can see that frog pretty easily.

I remember when I was in the Navy, serving over in a hush, hush installation in Seoul, South Korea. Their toilet stalls had toilet paper that resembled crepe paper. When the roll ran out, the occupants used newspaper (which could be fitting for some US newspapers). Needless to say, our team carried our own, good old U.S. TP when we had to take a dump. That was also a common practice for sailors onboard Naval ships. Flush twice. It’s a long way to the Galley. ;-p

Yoshiharu “Wannabe”, I think I found your clover growing in my lawn, Domo Arigato!

So THAT’s why the bottom of the birdcage looks like a chia-pet

So, what do you get when you plant a newspaper? Pamphlets? Newsletters?

So you can’t plant it BEFORE reading?

Not only is the Mossy Frog a master of camouflage, but nobody wants to eat it.

I’m looking over a four-leaf clover

That I overlooked before!

After the newspaper is planted, what grows? Another newspaper?

I bought flowers seeds pressed between paper sheets that you just covered in dirt and watered. I think that the newspaper is the same idea. I wonder if it is rice paper?

Which brought both good luck and bad luck at the same time
