Maybe you have an infestation of Scaly-Foot Gastropods

I think you've been on reddit! I spotted that one this morning.

Part of me wants to melt down a stack of shells and see what happens.

All those happy, healthy AP nuts out there
I have a question
I eat parsley as it is supposed to be a good source of daily iron for me
If I munch up my surplus parsley in my nutri-bullet and leave in a bucket for 3-4 weeks to break down, will this add iron to my system?
I am asking as I threw out all my spare parsley seeds and now have a 2metre x 2 metre parsley lawn.

That's crazy! Seems like it's not even real

Hard to know, as it depends on what form the Iron is in. You have enzymes in your stomach and saliva that help to access the Iron in hte parsley, but I have no idea what would happen if you poured it into your FT. However, it might turn your water a very bright green colour!

I was thinking that about 3-4 weeks held under water in a bucket would release the nutrients and the iron (as far as the green colour is concerned it would match me, being new to AP) and would fade I hope!

Well I am new to the use of accronyms
I have checked thelink
Now!
What is an IMO?

'In my opinion' is what it normally means

Thanks
