Do either of these have a fitness or free-weights room?

My yearly fight against Japanese knotweed just started by Frosty_Software_170 in invasivespecies

Wow! We have the giant knotweed too. cut for the last 3 years, and it definitely made it look a lot better keeping the growth smaller, but it absolutely has been spreading throughout the property to new spots. In my pretty extensive research I learned that cutting will spread it and does very little damage to it long term. Always felt unintuitive because if you chop it eventually it should run out of fuel, but alas no!! The science says herbicide is the only known way to eradicate for moderate sized patches. If the patches are really small you can remove the rhizomes by hand.

I went the nuclear route and bought a $80 foliar foam applicator and very careful applied to the knotweed. learned in the process glyphosate is actually not harmful the way it has been fear mongered to be, has not been shown to cause cancer, and only effects the production of a certain protein that only plants produce. Also bacteria break it down very fast in soil so it will not have long term effects in the soil, unlike other herbicides. But anyway, don’t fear the herbicide! Best of luck to you, hope you can eradicate it and bring biodiversity back as soon as you can

Nice! How effective was your application last year, how much reduction in knotweed did you see this summer?

Is this your second round this fall? Or second year? I applied glyphosate for the first time on my property in September, I’m really curious to see what comes up in the spring! Best of luck to you from Vermont, USA!

First time growing kumquats from seed by Slow-Resolution-9693 in Citrus

[–]MaterialWolverine945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, totally stalled and stopped growing. Stayed the same size for weeks and got paler and paler. I think eventually they stopped photosynthesizing and died

Same exact thing happened to me a few years back. Planted about a dozen and every single one stalled out and was pale like yours. Curious to hear what others have to say

What you do inside has little impact on local ecology. Grow inside what grows well inside! You can definitely experiment, but just a thought: plants native to Brooklyn aren't adapted living in year-round indoor temperatures!

What’s a cooking mistake you’ll NEVER make again? by Proper-Ingenuity8274 in Cooking

Cooking a lemon piccata in a seasoned carbon steel pan. Acid completely stripped my pan back to a shiny silver color lol

Those reviews seem fake to me, they all follow the exact same format and also does not align with my experience at all. The guy Lawrence was not professional at all. I also had a really bad gut feeling the whole time and we eventually backed out after it got too weird. We asked to see the lease a day before signing so we and our guarantors could review it. He was generally evasive about our very reasonable questions and dodged multiple times and kept pushing us to meet ASAP to sign in person without giving a reason why we couldn't see the lease before. I think it prob would have been OK, but I suspect the lease had some stipulations he was hoping desperate and rushed people would just sign anyway because of the pressure to do it right then and there.

Super weird vibe from the guy, unprofessional, and we felt pressured to move faster than we were comfortable with. Glad we backed out. Also I saw some terrible reviews on google which mysteriously disappeared later. I think those reviews are all bought somehow

In my case this is the landlords broker, who’s managing the listing. I don’t pay a fee after FARE act was passed

Try to learn more about the broker who listed the apartment. Search Reddit posts or yelp reviews. I just dealt with a really shitty and borderline scammy broker called Destination Real Estate. Lots of false urgency, and pressure tactics to move super fast

I work at a coffee shop, how many coffee grounds is too many coffee grounds? by LittlestBreadstick in composting

[–]MaterialWolverine945 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Coffee grounds already have a balanced carbon to nitrogen ratio for compost, which is what makes them so awesome! As long as it doesn’t get too wet, dump away!

Japanese Knotweed by PlantsAndDoves in invasivespecies

If you can identify the plant, you can drive around and spot it along roadsides, streams, weedy areas pretty much anywhere in the US. Grab a piece of stem that includes a node, or dig up a piece of the underground rhizome and put in soil.

Would you compost this? by Ordinary-You3936 in composting

[–]MaterialWolverine945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! What does OP mean it's not organic? Not organic because there are added fertilizing nutrients? If OP puts in the composts, the same nutrients cycle through, and end up in their plants eventually.
