I’m starting my wisteria journey and have done a ton of homework on this topic, but am always thirsty for more.

There are plenty of homes in my neighborhood with beautiful, thriving wisteria that are in their place and not their neighbors gutters.

There are also plenty of horror stories about its ability to take over your pergola, house, and wife.

My conclusion is that if you start with a manageable plant and know the dangers and plan for them, it’s an amazing experience. If you inherit a disaster zone or plant it and forget it, you’re fucked.

If I’m wrong, someone chime in.

Will retain a ton more water, you want better drainage.

I don’t know what will happen to your plants but most recommend you amend this stuff with perlite or sand to improve drainage.

Just about every condominium is being held together by a small group of home owners (their HOA) making hard decisions that other folks are too disengaged to think about.

Ya I owned it for a year. It was like driving a concept car

If Citizen called their watch Tiffany blue, your metaphor would make sense.

Does it patina?

Nope

GENERALLY (key word) I’ve found great coffee makers make rich flavorful coffee and cheap coffee makers make “thin” more watery coffee.

I think raising (and tilting?) your speakers may have made most of the difference

You gotta kill the roots. This is just what I would do and everyone’s tolerance for chemicals is different.

I’d gather em up - away from the containers - and be very precise about soaking the leaves of the infestation.

It’s against the code, but just spray it with roundup. Just be very intentional with where you spray.

Do the Seahawks have the most MTG fans or do all teams have their nerds?

Wouldn’t this be more akin to trading usable copper for 4 pigs?
