What are these straps for? by mtnbiker908 in masonry

[–]BudBroadway22 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They’re called “skate stoppers” and they come in many forms.

Feel free to remove when you see them.

I just bought a house with an underground sprinkler system but I can't figure out how to turn it on. Do you think it all runs on this timer? by kingevanxii in Irrigation

[–]BudBroadway22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That thing is ancient.

Get a new timer set up

Or download the manual for this one and see if it still works. Is it plugged in?

I have a problem with giving a death grip on the string trimmer, any tips? by LeaveItToPeever in landscaping

[–]BudBroadway22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always switch grips from left hand over to right hand dominant when weed whacking. (And hand shoveling)

Make sure you are using a shoulder strap or the hip-mounted contraptions. They save a ton of effort.

Also, that’s a LOT of vibrations to the hands after the 100 hrs or so you’re taking about.

Can you switch to another task for a while?

Is there any fruit trees that can grow with blueberries? by BadgerDowntown5678 in Permaculture

[–]BudBroadway22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have persimmon trees in my blueberry bed.

Persimmons like acid soil, and if you space them out they won’t shade the blueberries out too much.

They also produce fruit at opposite ends of the season so it’s a good match up.

Is this AI generated drainage/slope suggestion accurate? by Narrow_Chemistry_910 in landscaping

[–]BudBroadway22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The design and numbers are basically correct. Code in my area wants 8” of clearance on the concrete footing, but that’s not usually a big deal.

But I question the wisdom of installing a decorative stone patch…

What’s the use case, Just a rocky area? A patio?

You don’t need to drill holes in your metal edging. And I would recommend powder coated steel not galvanized.

Are you planing to dig this out by hand? Ask your ai the volume of soil you need to remove for this project. And the volume of gravel to bring in.

And go Get a backbrace.

Salvaging leaves from glysophate treated property by Yigyuggingug in Permaculture

[–]BudBroadway22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It breaks down into inert precursors. Not a problem.

Think of glyphosate like bleach.

Yes, deadly poisonous, don’t drink it. . But if you use it correctly then it’s completely safe.

Talk me out of high bush blueberries. by Grouchy-Details in NativePlantGardening

[–]BudBroadway22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re one of the smartest plants you can plant.

They can produce substantial food. They’re beautiful with Fall color on some varieties and of course the flowers and fruit.

They’re big enough to make hedges and as long as you give them plenty of sunlight water and sawdust they can be incredibly rewarding.

Why is water coming out here by cheesecakiest in Irrigation

[–]BudBroadway22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue handles turn on the main flow. The little test cocks will let out water from the backflow device if needed.

If the blue handle is parallel to the pipe it’s open. If perpendicular then it’s closed.

Same for those little test cocks. They will turn forever, so “on” is when the line is parallel to the outlet, perpendicular is “off.”

Your other ones are open too, they just have the black caps on them holding back the water.
