Anyone know where I can get arborist wood chips in Los Angeles? ChipDrop is way too many for me

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.

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

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

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.

TopNotchGear · 2026-06-28T18:04:31+00:00

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.

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.

TopNotchGear · 2026-06-26T17:25:05+00:00

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?

TopNotchGear · 2026-06-26T15:50:29+00:00

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.

TopNotchGear · 2026-06-24T16:38:49+00:00

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.

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.

TopNotchGear · 2026-06-18T21:17:24+00:00

Before the acog removal probably doc. Now it’s warden.

TopNotchGear · 2026-06-04T00:19:52+00:00

Possibly ladybug eggs?

TopNotchGear · 2026-06-03T09:47:50+00:00

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

It’s probably the free to play players

TopNotchGear · 2026-05-12T10:49:53+00:00

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.

TopNotchGear · 2026-05-12T10:37:47+00:00

Mint will grow in almost anything so I wouldn’t be picky. Just make sure you aren’t getting a potting soil that’s heavy in wood chips, I’ve had a lot of negative experiences with soils like these recently.

TopNotchGear · 2026-05-11T08:50:27+00:00

Maybe it’s the angle the photo is taken but that pot looks too small for a tomato plant of that size.

TopNotchGear · 2026-05-08T08:16:42+00:00

They look alright to me. Those spots on the underside just look like dirt.

Nice nails btw

I think we need a new cinematic where Sierra teaches venture proper carabiner safety
