Rotary tools like Dremel are fairly cheap and handy to have around. I make the wire loops bigger to leave room for the branch to expand, but also check on them every year when pruning.

Nice, I had to build sturdier platforms for my piles. Pallets just weren't up to the task. 
Our town's leadership decided to intervene in the rental market by imposing a limit to the number of short-term rentals and putting onerous regulations on them. Most owners decided to sell instead of converting to long-term rentals. None of the houses being sold are affordable. Tourism events have been cancelled due to anticipated lack of housing for visitors. Small businesses laid off workers or went out of business because the demand for house cleaning and landscape maintenance went down. Mission accomplished!
I have them scattered all over in perennial garden beds. The only effort seems to be harvesting the saffron threads and digging up the corms every few years to thin them out. The blooms don't last long and you want to harvest the threads as soon as the flowers open. They don't open all at once so you're checking every day for them.
I dry them on a paper towel for a few days and then store in an airtight jar. The yield is usually three threads per flower, with one flower per corm per season, so it's not much.
If your climate is right, I think it's a great plant to grow, even in containers. The corms keep multiplying every year so you'll end up more than you need eventually.

I finished the first compost pile with my temperature sensor measuring from start to finish:
The temperature sensor is very useful to know more about what's going on inside the pile, and when it's time to turn the pile.
Here's the new pile I started last night. Seeing that number go up is very reassuring. The blue line is ambient air temperature.

Nostr doesn't have a single consistent state for anyone, but the NSA would get the closest by surveilling as many relays as they can. Just a guess.
he took his notes with him. opsec.
My guess is pointing out a weakness that can be addressed now, instead of later when nostr is really needed
I had to purge a lot relays to make it stop. Nos.lol is one the few remaining.
It's mostly from my garden and my neighbors lawns/yards. I have to scavenge some cardboard and other carbon inputs too.
Stacking life today
MQTT is very good for this high frequency time series data, and the integration with Home Assistant allows for analyzing the data with grafana.
A nostr client in the base station could post readings less frequently. Interesting idea.
My compost temperature sensor is producing great data, like showing how I put too much rocket fuel into this latest pile:
