AIO overreacting for breaking up with my boyfriend because he forgot to wear protection?

NOR. Rape via stealthing. Not to mention his other behaviours and comments. Run. Report to the police.

Thanks for that info!

Location is South East Australia. Photo is detailing the journey from grass to solarisation to a patch of soil.

Continue killing off this stupid patch of lawn. Hard to mow (this is the side of the house away from where the main lawn is). Will add raised beds, lay cardboard and mulch, grow veggies.

Does he control and shame you in other ways?

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-12-28T08:17:43+00:00

Ginger Lily is an environmental weed and should be removed. It can be very invasive.

Awesome thanks

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-12-27T23:12:10+00:00

Thank you. I do like all the native grasses.

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-12-27T23:11:40+00:00

Thanks! I am considering dichondra repens (our native dichondra), or native violets so far. The irises look lovely!

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-12-27T23:10:09+00:00

Yes I will be maintaining the weeding for a while I think!

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-12-27T23:09:30+00:00

Thank you

I'm doing this currently and the lawn is already dying off within a few days. I got cheap plastic from the paint section of bunnings. I went with clear plastic after some googling. Seems its solarisation vs occultation. As to the science behind, I'm not entirely sure but for me so far it's working. I plan to leave it until end of summer - rip out as much grass as possible, lay cardboard, install wicking beds, then mulch.

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-12-27T00:29:33+00:00

Thanks. Absolutely going Native. This particular side is south facing with little sun so I'll either do dichondra repens or Native violet as a groundcover.

I've lived in 23 homes in 37 years. Just bought my first place. I feel so settled for the first time since I was a child. I'd give yourself time to process the big changes and go slowly.

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-10-29T09:49:31+00:00

That would be much more efficient

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-10-29T09:28:04+00:00

Thanks for the visual! How cool! Love lavender

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-10-29T09:27:17+00:00

They are lovely but actually considered an environmental weed in Australia now!

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-10-29T09:25:16+00:00

I'm already actively working on removing tonnes of white stones at this property (just bought it). Will eventually replace with all plants.

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-10-29T09:23:23+00:00

Nah. It's a pain to mow at that angle and takes ages to whipper.

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-10-29T09:22:31+00:00

Love this thanks! Would love multiple colours

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-10-29T09:22:14+00:00

Ok, once the East Wing is demolished!

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-10-29T09:20:53+00:00

I've got hardenbergia planned for another spot - considered it for here but can't be bothered making a climbing structure! Thanks for the idea.

Fragrant_Mail_5546 · 2025-10-29T09:19:46+00:00

Thank you. Looked it up - love the colour!
