My preferred account is on Kbin.social but I can't view this community through Kbin. I get a 404 error. I wonder if lemmy.wtf isn't federating with kbin?
Are there any other kbinners here? I really would prefer to subscribe to all GW2 communities under one account.
I think the pond is the best part of the yard! It's filter-free and pump-free. Loved by frogs.
It would be so hard to list everything. Things that come to mind are: Milkweed, pawpaw, Serviceberry, spicebush, coneflower and bergamot
The full species list would be pretty expansive.
That's a baffle on a bluebird house. It keeps predators out.
Demon king? Secret stone? Secret stone? Demon king?
Yeah.....
There are native mints as well as invasive. It's always a good idea to check the range maps
I'm not able to double-check for you (I probably can later), but I would first verify everything is native. You can use sites like USDA plants to find range maps for individual species.
I like to buy from opnseed and their woodland edge mix sounds like a good fit assuming it's all native.
I would also evaluate the moisture conditions of your site. Some plants like it drier, some wetter.
That would be sheet mulching. In my experience it works better with plugs than seed. I could always create a guide on that but I hope someone else does that is more into the method.
I always felt the rise of fake stories came with the change to karma for text posts. It used to be that a text post gave no karma and so there was no incentive to karma farm that way. Once the change happened, many text-based subreddits had their quality drop dramatically.
Did you post to r/amitheasshole? I used to love that one
Yes, a magazine is just a community or subreddit. I prefer the UI of Kbin but the terminology takes some getting used to. There's also regular posts and microblogs.
Oh my! Personally, I stay away from all herbicides. It is certainly a method though. Solarizing is also an option I haven't tried yet but appears to be relatively low effort.
I plan to stay on Lemmy/Kbin and abandon reddit for the most part
I don't know the answer to that question. I would be hesitant to try because it sounds like your site would end up raised from the extra material.
Gallowboob sounds so familar. Who was that again?
I'm playing Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
How to prep your site: De-sodding
When it comes to replacing a lawn with native plants there are a few ways to prepare the site. The two main ones are de-sodding and sheet mulching. In this post I will be discussing the former.
First, here is a link to an album with photos and captions. https://imgur.com/a/0Fh2Ned
De-sodding is simply, lifting the top layer of sod off of the soil.
You might ask why this method and not others. It all comes down to personal preference. I have prepared sites either with de-sodding or sheet mulching. I have found that plants took off much faster with the de-sodding method but you may also have more weeds to contend with.
Some of you may ask, what about tilling? Tilling is almost always not recommended. When you till, you bring up many unwanted seeds out of the seed bank. It is also disrupts the soil.
Now let's get started...
Step 1: Mow your desired planting site as low as possible
Step 2: Get de-sodding! You can use a shovel, a manual device or a powered one designed for this purpose. A shovel will be very labor-intensive and not very practical for a large area. Your local hardware store may have a powered de-sodder to rent.
Step 3: Remove the sod that has now been separated from the soil. You can use shovels, try to roll it, or any other method. We used our utility tractor to scrape it off.
Step 4: Spread top soil around your new site. A nice thin, even layer will do
And that's it! If you are planting by seed you can spread it by hand or machine and gently rake it in. Seeds don't want to be buried deep, just on the surface level.
I hope this helps and please ask me any questions!
All I want is to go back to the classic Zelda formula of a linear story with dungeons. BOTW and TOTK are great, but I miss the old games. I miss getting a new item that suddenly makes new parts of the world accessible.
I'm afraid, however, we won't ever see this type of Zelda again. BOTW and TOTK have sold an insane amount of copies. This may be the new normal for Zelda.
Also, please let there be more 2D games.
The world looked gorgeous but the gameplay looked awkward and clunky. I donβt know if Iβll buy it but I love Avatar so maybe.
Any native plant enthusiasts out there?
I've transformed most of my 1 acre yard from lawn to native plant gardens. Native plants support biodiversity!
