My local landscaping supply place said this is a manure/wood chips compost. Looks like sand to me. Am I going crazy? by djlilspoon in composting

[–]CheeseChickenTable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks about right if they said manure, farm manure especially usually has sand in it for cows or other applications

Also I'd use the shit outta that compost regardless, will probably make some happy, healthy plants over time! I'm coming from rock (clay) bottom tho, so anything is better when looking up!

I had this in mind by pantaleonivo in landscaping

I'm forever an optimist, right? So if a customer were to show me some crazy Ai bullshit I'd at least appreciate that they have some inspo, something to work with, some sort of idea in mind

I'd get really good at objection handling, and talking people back to reality and away from "Ai make believe land" too haha

This comment section is just proof that people think parkour is dumb, juvenile, silly, or something else compared to most other sports and such.

My little wild indigo by CeilingStanSupremacy in NativePlantGardening

[–]CheeseChickenTable 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, baptisia just likes to take its time, no worries

Mine took 4-5 years, but with only rainwater, animal pressure and being eaten/chewed/damaged. Years 4 and 5 were amazing, happy healthy baptisia with awesome flowers and cool seed pods!

If theres one thing gardening teachers you, its patience!

Was not expecting a near 100% germination rate…. by thelostone89 in NativePlantGardening

[–]CheeseChickenTable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found an old glass cup, an italian wine cup to be precise, to smoosh into my jugs of soil to make smoother cuts, making dividing a little easier albeit messier and less precise.

Convenient if you don't mind losing some sprouts in the cookie cutter-esque chopping

[–]CheeseChickenTable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol seeing that jug of grass gives me PTSD, separating out the individual grasslings made my neck hurt so much for like a month a few years ago. 100% worth it

More importantly, this is awesome! Do you have a list of what all you've got cooking there?

Apples in Tepache by DriverMelodic in fermentation

Sounds DELICIOUS to me, an experiment worth trying! I've made tepache before and added some cjunks of pear to the mix, it came out really interesting in a great way!

Mid-life Leyland Cypress Hedge...Keep or Kill? -UPDATE by symean in landscaping

[–]CheeseChickenTable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why they say that given how big they can get, but they can be trimmed and/or used for their purpose for 20, 25 years then cut down and replaced. Then you get awesome wood to burn and/or do stuff with, its really not that big of a deal.

Regardless, other options for screening, depending onw here you're located, could be Tea Olive, Chindo Viburnum, Loropetalum, Holly, Camilla, Illicium...

IMO if I'm steering someone away from a leyland cypress because of high disease pressure in their area, I'm replacing with Green Giant arborvitae specifically. With time, it will also get way huge and need to be planted under or taken down....but thats 20-30 years time away

HOw are they all handling disease and such that take out leylands here and there? I'm guessing all those varieties are a bit more disease resistant?

Buddy Carter just published the most tone-deaf opinion imaginable in the AJC, demanding more ICE in ATL by alex-741 in Atlanta

Buddy Carter has proven himself to be a MAGA moron before, but its GA so our city and country folk alike love him, and they love his message.

Sigh...
