Right now I am pretty consumed with how much the stupid bamboo poles cost me. I got really nice ones at Fred Meyer which were in the wrong bin so they were triple what I was expecting. Practically had antifalactic shock at the register. I’m not sure if its worth 15 bucks to get four poles. They look nice and I wont have to worry about bamboo spreading (its basically an invasive weed) if i use uncured stakes that i cut from the neighbor's i risk them coming back to life and growing a bamboo garden. on the other hand i want my tomatoes staked and growing up rather than out and crowding the other plants.
I turn to solve this monetary problem with the Starbucks Equivalencey Method. I calculate everything by how much a grande mocha at starbucks cost, (this is a step down from the Total Work Eqivalency Method which calculates out how long i will have to sit at my desk to earn that money) I could basically buy four starbucks for that 15 dollar pricetag this does not take into account treat reciepts or tax. I’m not sure if those poles will bring me the equivalent happiness and satisfaction of four starbucks. but they are reuseable and calorie free. So it’s a bit of a toss up. In my heart of hearts I just kind of want some for free. I just checked on craigslist and there are some in ballard which is near where my gym is by 20 minutes. It was posted a week ago. So I don’t know if they are still available. who knew bamboo stakes in my life could cause such problems.
