lil tangentially related black thumbs story.
my shamrock is a trooper. status quo, it puts up with a fair bit of neglect. then it got moved from its usual spot. out of sight, way out of mind.
eventually i wondered about a decrepit, whitened mass of vegetation spotted elsewhere in the house, then realized it was poor shammy.
'needs to be repotted!' 'fresh soil!' went the refrain amongst the greener thumbed than i.
'nonsense', my plant care ethic responded.
treating little shammy's obvious nutrient depletion scenario was no longer a matter for H2O alone.
since its rediscovery, it's been brought back from the edge of oblivion via a therapeutic regimen of waters leftover after steaming or boiling veg.
almost completely recovered now

go shammy go!
