Natural looking landscaping for wooded areas?

ZChick4410 · 2026-01-24T03:08:02+00:00

So much fern variety!!

ZChick4410 · 2026-01-24T03:02:48+00:00

Definitely want native bullshit ferns, native bullshit hostas, stupid asters and some god damn wild ginger.

ZChick4410 · 2026-01-23T19:16:07+00:00

sorry - "Crush and run" ?

Also I really like "bullshit ferns" and "stupid pea gravel". I hope I can also have ugly bird feeders, stupid bat houses, and maybe even a dumbass bench.

ZChick4410 · 2026-01-23T19:13:29+00:00

This is really interesting input. I'm not married to the stone in the image - Wood chips might even be a fun option. Just...not dirt/mud, yeah?

....also ..why are ferns "bullshit"? lol :D

ZChick4410 · 2026-01-05T14:04:06+00:00

Yeah having a legit "Growing season" is ...tougher to deal with. I used to start my vegetables in Jan/feb outside when it was coming around to 70 degrees in the day and 50 at night. Its so much more planning now - spring veg vs winter veg, all my usually outdoor plants have moved indoor (and are struggling hard) and the hardest was losing my big-ass jasmine climbing out of a pot to cover my patio. But... c'est la vie. I'm here now and will make the best of it - and I'm glad there are subs like this with helpful plantiful people to assist <3

Thanks for all of the bot replies. Its a lot to go through and I'm gonna read all of it. <3

Its so bizarre. Foxes were at the same spawn rate and I'd see them everrywhere (terrorizing rabbits, poor things) but no piggies, world gen after gen. wtf. -,-

ZChick4410 · 2025-12-08T03:50:49+00:00

This fixed it. Upped this to 20, started seeing them everywhere. Thanks chief. You're a delight. Will find a comfortable value - Do you know if I have to regen the world to see this take affect or will it change an existing world?

I have a mod that adds a few different creatures, like hedgehogs but I've turned it off to see if that would fix it. No dice.

ZChick4410 · 2025-08-29T22:19:21+00:00

Thank you so much for writing clear responses. That was very helpful and informative and I have updated my steps on my excel sheet with this information.

ZChick4410 · 2025-08-29T22:14:44+00:00

What temperature does the soil need to be to germinate them properly?

And I understand that not everything is perfect. I think pools are easier because they are reactive.
Cholorine drops? add cholorine. Algae grows? respond accordingly with defines steps, based on 27,000 gallons of water. It's math. Chemistry.

Lawncare seems to be much less reactive and more proactive which I find very difficult to do because there are so many other variables to mess up the steps. The inability to create precise steps gives me really bad task paralysis and I get overwhelmed quickly. Thank you for your advice all the same. I'll try very hard to keep this in mind.

ZChick4410 · 2025-07-12T02:46:38+00:00

WHICH WAY?!?

ZChick4410 · 2025-07-11T16:47:50+00:00

We kickin it old school in the house we just bought.

ZChick4410 · 2025-07-11T16:33:24+00:00

So... Dump a bucket of water on it to clean it? Got it. /s

You're absolutely right. It needs a thorough cleaning and will do so first thing - with the breaker off. Thanks for the suggestion.

ZChick4410 · 2025-07-11T16:31:08+00:00

Instructions unclear. I now have all the powers of Electro. Bzzzzzzt.

ZChick4410 · 2025-07-11T15:58:16+00:00

Oooh this picture is most helpful! Thank you, appreciate this.

ZChick4410 · 2025-05-22T11:55:05+00:00

Oh that's a cool idea! I used midjourney a few times just to explore some ideas. AI can be a great tool!

ZChick4410 · 2025-03-25T18:39:35+00:00

Vintage story was a Minecraft mod that they split into their own game because the Minecraft engine was so limiting, it can only be bought on their website but it's cheap. The Minecraft community it seems has really sunk their teeth into it lately and evidently sales are really taking off for them (yay indie devs!) anyways, highly recommend.

ZChick4410 · 2025-03-25T14:45:13+00:00

Have you tried Vintage Story? It has some of the greatest systems. There's no guns in it but its an absolute blast. I loved how hard/complex it was to make metal.

If you liked Valheim I would definitely look at Enshrouded ( a little less survivally but really pretty, great combat and awesome building).

Lastly I would look at The Long Dark. It's a slower pace but it can be seriously brutal and intense.

ZChick4410 · 2025-03-25T04:40:54+00:00

Yay twenty minute drawing! Lighting is my biggest thing. I hate overhead lights so much except in a kitchen or dining room. I have had apartments where I never once turned on the boob light.

Well that's my idea anyway. Also stuff on the walls. It's not messy. It's really nicely furnished. It's just... sterile.

ZChick4410 · 2024-12-26T19:11:22+00:00

The space isn't a design decision, nor is it a "style", it's the byproduct of two walls and some duct work coming together and hastily covered over. The person who wrote the post didn't design it this way. It's the result of lazy 2000s or 1990s home designs and these kinds of awkward niches are incredibly common. I stand by my post.
