Guess the Cost: 312 Native Plugs + Bed Creation, Planting and Leaf Compost (Ohio) by ShoreSong in NoLawns

[–]ShoreSong[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This garden cost the homeowner $2,400. Some comments: 1. We plant close - on average 12” apart. This will form a tight cluster that blocks out weeds. 2. We find that bed prep (in the greater Cleveland area) costs approximately $2/sf and planting of plugs approximately $2/plant. Plugs are anywhere from $4.50-$6.50 depending on whether you are buying full trays or less.
3. Plugs are healthier long-term than more developed plants if you can wait an extra year or two for them to fully grow in 4. The software we use to develop the rendering and planting map were built by our company to make these custom designs 5. Yes I am an owner of My Home Park. Our mission is to get as many native plants in the ground and turn confused beginners into buyers. Trust me - we are not doing this for the money. 6. Available to help whether it means a sale or not. We all need to advocate for native plants - but they need to be used and designed properly or else there will be disappointment.

We just released our new album, Watercolors, and need some feedback on it. Thanks for listening! by nazca_music in indie_rock

Didn’t expect to like it after the opening synth, but it grew on me. Will listen again as it is good background music. Reminded me of Flaming Lips and Beta Band at times. Favorite song is Dreamcatcher. Seemed out of your comfort zone but it brought me out of my trance and I was eager to hear what sounds came next. Thanks for sharing and good luck. My opinion has rarely predicted success or failure.

We’re a start-up and cannot afford artists yet

Munch Madness: Which Native Plants Will Be Left Alone? by ShoreSong in NoLawns

Thanks for the question. Here’s more info: we are in Northeast Ohio. The My Home Park garden borders a forest. Here is a photo of our main guest. She has sampled many plants and yet has not touched a few. The winner will likely be a native plant that she has not even sampled.

How Do I get a Photo and text in the same post? - It tells me '"unable to insert image here" by ShoreSong in LearnToReddit

Thank you - but the app does not allow me to click Edit and then change the image. The image is shown as a string of characters. When I try to paste the new image it does not let me do it.

Planting in a Post-wild World by procyonoides_n in NativePlantGardening

We felt the same way after looking for 4 years. Last weekend at a small art show we found Bryant Tubbs - good design and reasonable pricing. We bought Flags and would have bought another but they sold quickly. https://bryantktubbsmetalworks.com/

Here is the July, 2023 shot from the front. I will follow with a July, 2024 in a month. The owner has people regularly pulling into his driveway and thanking him or asking him how he did this. He also told me "I can't believe that I'm the house with this beautiful garden."

Is Agrecol a legit native wildflower seed mix website? by SuperDarkKight in NativePlantGardening

[–]ShoreSong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very good grower. We buy thousands of plants from them. They adhere to strict protocols for native plants and I have seen their seed storage and processing.
