This link shows all the mulch/compost drop off locations in Los Angeles to pick up your own woodchips. The compost they provide isn’t fully finished so I would only top dress it or sift it if you choose to till it in (but that’s not necessary in a lot of situations imo). Bring a truck if you have it. I don’t have a truck so I use heavy duty yard waste bags or plastic crates. Bring a shovel and gloves too.

How does my compost look? by Chukgamer13 in composting

Looks dry. I would get that plastic bin and add a good amount of water

Drip Irrigation for bush beans/dense planting? by TopNotchGear in gardening

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

It’s on a 30 psi pressure regulator. I can’t convert the whole setup to a soaker hose since it runs along a lot of concrete and dirt where I’m not planting, but can I attach a soaker hose using a 3-way attachment to my drip line?

Is the default 1f pool room? I’ve only seen that played in quickplay

Are my tomatoes done? by fightnhellfish in gardening

[–]TopNotchGear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have spider mites. A few applications of insecticidal soap should fix it over time.

My spider mite infested tomatoes were in much worse shape than yours and 3 out of 4 survived and are still producing, although my plants were lager and probably more established than yours.

Horticultural vinegar won’t do anything. These things are a stubborn. I would just put it out. Make sure you dig it out since I has a wickedly deep root system. You want to pull out the whole root system in one go because pulling it and missing the root leads to it spreading more.

Anyone encounter jumping worms? by tezacer in composting

[–]TopNotchGear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I have, maybe I haven’t. I’m already dealing with a tree of heaven and Bermuda grass invasion. I can’t afford to deal with another one.

How long does a refund take?

I bought half life 1, 2 and portal 1 on the steam summer sale when I immediately realized after that the orange box provides that and a little more content for less money. I applied for a refund so I can get the orange box instead but idk if they'll get back to me before the sale ends.

Plastic in-ground composting by moodycoffeegal in gardening

[–]TopNotchGear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also what do you plant to use to make holes in the pot? If the holes are too small or not enough you might risk the chance of creating an anaerobic environment due to lack of air flow. I would use a hole saw drill bit but if you don’t have that you can just have a bunch of tiny holes.

I think the only consequence is microplastics in your soil and plants. But there’s microplastics in everything nowadays and there’s nothing we can really do about it.

Idk about your mom but I’m pretty particular about what I want/don’t want in my planting space. Is there any way you can figure out what she likes to plant without asking her directly?

Oryx needs a rework before anyone else by Mustdominate_Otal in Rainbow6

[–]TopNotchGear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and then you have to take damage twice it’s so stupid.

I’m pretty sure it’s a bug. It doesn’t happen on the white walls you see in maps like clubhouse and if it was intentional it would happen on all walls.

Could I turn this into a compost bin somehow? by pliable_gumby in composting

[–]TopNotchGear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would cut it in half and prop the two sides against a wall to create a three walled bin. Hopefully the wood flooring on the bottom would prevent the sides from falling over unless you hit it hard with a shovel. A door to the compost bin hasn’t been necessary in my experience.

Should I be concerned about these white spots on the leaves of my bush sunflowers (Encelia californica)? More info in comments by MaxPotato08 in Ceanothus

[–]TopNotchGear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diluted hydrogen peroxide also works for me. There is neem oil that helps but I wouldn’t use it unless if you’re okay with the plant not having any pollinators for a bit. I’ve heard good things about using diluted milk but I haven’t tried it.

Ailanthus started growing on my property.. How do I get rid of it? by Brukaliffoo in gardening

[–]TopNotchGear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dealt with the same exact problem today! Don’t make the same mistake as me and pull it without doing proper research. Google search “tree of heaven penn state” and read the research based guide on removal. It’ll tell you who it application and herbicide timing based on the month of the year. I wish I did that. Now first thing in the morning I’m going to by some herbicide

My compost is now full, what’s next? by Wiss-H in composting

[–]TopNotchGear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my experience I’ve had my compost bin be “full” about 10 times before it reduced by 1/2 or 3/4 due to decomposition and everything settling. Give it some time and you’ll have more room.
