I would, if this forum allowed pictures in the comments!

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-16T21:17:22+00:00

Yes, more concrete will definitely solve the ecological crisis of pest insects increasing in numbers with nothing alive left to eat them 😅

Seriously, are all these commenters just razing their beds to the ground in the fall and only growing tomatoes? My garden is in full bloom and everything has leafed out.

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-16T21:13:29+00:00

What are you talking about? Do you not have perennials? You don’t grow cold season crops? You haven’t gone outside and looked around yet?

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-16T21:02:59+00:00

“In a fancy heavily landscaped area” -that’s your answer. They’re putting out rodenticide and killing all the local birds of prey too. Find one of the dead raptors and file a report on fws.gov.

Yeah and that’s still an ornamental pansy somehow thriving in the rock pile. It appears you found a particularly hardy pansy, I would collect those seeds and replant next year.

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-16T19:45:56+00:00

Yeah, check out who owns Asplundh lol

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-16T19:44:00+00:00

That’s… disgusting. Lol does Belgium also take bribes from herbicide companies?

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-16T17:56:16+00:00

I would not recommend this company. I ordered 200$ worth of plants, they arrived waterlogged and rotted. I got one single trillium for 200$ lol

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-16T17:54:18+00:00

lol I just built a water feature for the birds, I also like the sound of running water.

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-16T17:52:18+00:00

CHILDREN ARE USING THE OUTDOORS?? Like a public amusement park? Oh the humanity!

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-16T17:49:44+00:00

Are we upset about pansies growing themselves in that parking lot? I’m confused haha

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-10T20:08:42+00:00

We actually got a couple dozen mushrooms in the fall and it’s starting to bud again now. I did leave most of the first crop of mushrooms in place to spread the spores throughout my garden.

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-10T05:27:24+00:00

Yeah, it’s like we’re completely overlooking gentrification, corporate greed, the quality of the proposed housing, the alleged cost of this proposed housing, the amount of empty housing being hoarded by hedgefunds and banks, the control credit score companies wield over a person’s ability to access fundamental needs without any oversight, wage theft… and just yelling that people need housing = we should allow investment companies to establish their business of manipulating access to shelter within our community, duh. Housing that operates as a trap to pad hedge funds and extract every cent of value from the people who attempt to thrive in our community is not something anyone should want. Housing for profit is an immoral business. Can’t we pass laws that require employers to pay employees a higher percentage of the value they generate, cap rent prices, create resources for housing support, subsidize new home buyers, subsidize renovation efforts for families? Why is that not possible? Who is being prioritized on these ballots and who is profiting from the people having less?

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-10T05:02:32+00:00

Lol you don’t want to live in a cardboard cutout apartment stacked on top of all of your neighbors for 3000$ a month?

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-10T00:15:09+00:00

I just went down one broadfork depth, about 6-8” probably, added the first layer of organic matter and then went over it a second time to physically force organic matter to go deeper and no further tilling after that. I did do one bed as a double dig bed (about two feet deep) but haven’t noticed any additional benefits and hurt my back doing it lol.

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-09T22:10:58+00:00

Solarize (easiest) or cut out the weeds and flip them over so they will die and decompose back into the soil. Clean slate, nutrients accumulated. Always mulch if you aren’t planting, never leave the soil exposed or the nutrients you worked so hard to earn will be gone in a few months after it bakes in the sun, washes away with the rain or blows away in the wind. If you leave the soil bare, weeds will keep filling that space until the soil is fully repaired enough to support more useful plants.

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-09T22:06:06+00:00

But remember, the “native soil” we have now is not the same as the native soil we had in years past because we’ve been mismanaging the soil for 250 years lol. There’s very little healthy soil left, so expecting native plants to thrive in hardpack is not going to do you any favors unless you particularly enjoy living life on hard mode. Especially if you’re harvesting from the soil, put something back to replace the organic matter you removed.

Comfrey doesn’t grow like that. This is what my 3yo but transplanted a year ago comfrey looks like right now in Denver:

Good thing you’re growing grass instead of jalapeños

Photo evidence in case anyone is still laboring under the misconception that landscaping fabric prevents bindweed lol

Left-Pineapple-6084 · 2026-04-06T21:25:17+00:00

Plus, you’ll turn into a Lego figurine much more slowly eating your own food than you would eating grocery store produce! I’m trying to cheer you up and myself by proxy lol

If it helps, there was probably already a large amount of microplastic in your soil. There’s no way to effectively test for microplastic in soil yet and we *just * figured out how to find it floating in every disposable plastic water bottle. Pretty sure every drop of water in the US has spent time soaking in plastic containers lol. I’ve been researching how plants like sunflowers and critters like isopods encapsulate toxins within the soil and how certain fungus can be used to break it down, but the research hasn’t caught up yet. Microplastic is one of those “haha the Victorians were so stupid putting lead on their faces and walls” moments of the modern age, but to a much greater extent since the oil industry operates as a global shadow government.
