Hello - I recently returned to two childhood hobbies - cycling and aquariums, Like everyone I turned to youtube for research and noticed how commodified/rationalised each hobby had become in the intervening two decades. Bikes and associated paraphernalia seem to have become a branch of the fashion industry and as for aquariums it was all: 'here we have a blogs model 60L tank with blogs filtration and blogs canister CO2 injection costing around £500 needing daily maintenance and 4 chemicals added each week- my head was spinning!
Anyway despite finding the geeky consumerist stuff very off putting I am focusing on the greatest joy of it all - creating a home for living creatures. I've just got plants at the moment but will add some animals after the summer holidays and wanted to share where I'd got to after 3 weeks - the plants have just started growing!
