how to grow potatoes inside, successfully (Part 1: roots)
attempt #1 ended in complete, abject failure. but here at basic chores we don’t let basic chores get the best of us.
first and second, repeat steps 1 and 2 from attempt #1. but this time with a sweet potato (for variety).
third, cut off chunks of sweat potato that have sprouted and stick in some water like you would do with flowers.
fourth, when sufficient roots have grown (and the chunks of sweet potato appear to be sufficiently close to rotting and messing up the whole experiment again), break the chuck of potato off from roots.
fifth, lovingly place rooted stems in another container for further root growth. throw away the slimy not-yet-totally-stinky sweet potato part.
sixth, cover roots from light. (no idea if this is necessary / does anything.)
PART 1 is DONE!

Tweet 1 notehow to take out the recycling
first, makes sure that it’s overflowing. good recyclers don’t waste anything, especially energy.
second, sort out the paper and plastic/glass and the unidentifiables.
third, put the paper and glass/plastic by the door to go out when you leave. put the unidentifiables in the trash (if there’s room), or back in the paper bin for next time.
DONE!
