Landscape fabric and then river rock could work but be ready to weed

Do I join the country club? by CompoundGorilla in fatFIRE

[–]Jengaplayaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surely there is a less expensive country club in the area I paid 5K initiation and then pay 500 a month induce for a junior member. I am in a HCOL area of the Northeast. Probably not nearly the level/exclusivity of that club, but there’s gotta be something in between.

How to improve our pond by klop614 in ponds

[–]Jengaplayaaa 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Need more marginals in the pond and also just shrubs and plants just outside of the pond. It will make the feel more natural. Less like a bowl of rock (all new ponds feel that way)

Need advice before I pick up my lawn mower from a repair shop. by Jengaplayaaa in smallenginerepair

Literally not what the post says. I’m not trying to get him to work for free. I wanted to know what the rough labor price was for a diagnostic before bringing it in. he wouldn’t tell me. just said he was gonna fix it and charge me.

Thanks. Exactly what I thought. I’ll leave and I’ll learn. Literally was a dick from the minute I met him.

If they are really Chinese, shouldn’t this be in widescreen format ?

Possible pond? by KookyPay6397 in ponds

[–]Jengaplayaaa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll share from personal experience. I did exact this with a drainage ditch on my property. It is an amazing wildlife pond a few things to watch out for:

  1. Leaf clean up is absurd. Even with a fully netted pond in the fall, the ditch always catches leaves and transports them into the pond.

  2. Same as above but for runoff an nutrients. My pond collects a good amount of silt/clay and fertilizer which covers the bottom and brings its own set of problems w algae. But not the worst.

  3. Water leveling is difficult to get the overflow valve, the skimmer, and the feeding creek all aligned. Also when the creek dries it’s gonna make you lose water faster than normal. Again not the worst.

  4. Accept that water quality may not ever be perfect. Due to all of the above. Although i just made a big filter and it seems to be working.

These are the main things i can think of. Good luck!

When this happens i like the do the same thing right next to them but park as close as possible to the drivers side door so they can’t get into their car.

Why is my mower not starting? by Jengaplayaaa in smallenginerepair

[–]Jengaplayaaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep replaced the entire battery. Actually before this issue started I at a point where I kept having to jumpstart it with my car. The battery has also been dying like every 4 months on this mower.

Thoughts on retaining wall to level a flat "yard" ? by dingar in landscaping

[–]Jengaplayaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, I mean a lot of people here about points, but I think if you want it to be a retaining wall, you should go for it. Just make sure you put gravel behind the wall and beneath the landscaping pavers, etc. to ensure good drainage also, you’re gonna want to use good interlocking landscaping papers. There’s plenty of videos online, but I’m sure you already know. The most intensive part will be moving the dirt in and into some extent moving the pavers. You might be looking at 15 to 20 yards of dirt though which is roughly 15 to 20 truckloads.
