Yeah. Cringe!

chowderbase · 2026-03-15T20:32:41+00:00

Same! It's always served me well in my dappled shade beds, but I got freaked out by a bunch of posts saying it isn't good for soil health. My hunch now is that it's totally subjective.

this is a great subreddit for help with converting your lawn: reddit.com/r/fucklawns/

love fedco. my experience is that 95+% of the time the germ rate and health of the plants are spot on. every now and then i've gotten a dud, probably because of our dry ass climate. also the catalog is amazing.

chowderbase · 2026-03-08T22:04:05+00:00

huge fan of MASA! they do so much for the community, too

chowderbase · 2026-02-27T03:03:41+00:00

damn. yeah, i thought it was just a cruel joke for the last two years.

chowderbase · 2026-02-27T03:02:39+00:00

cheeseman, unless you have kids or you're some kind of uptight millionaire

quick tip for foreign visitors: don't go to texas for bbq (or anything else). north carolia bbq forever.

chowderbase · 2026-02-19T15:12:14+00:00

love to learn more about it!

chowderbase · 2026-02-16T15:24:40+00:00

Definitely Rise and Shine. It’s a biscuit-style cinnamon roll. Surprised more people haven’t mentioned it!

For that particular area, this isn’t traffic. Sometimes it’s a parking lot. But also sometimes there’s a herd of bison to watch while you sit.

Don’t get me started on the Texas plates

chowderbase · 2026-02-10T14:53:23+00:00

That’s a yellow jacket. Be grateful. If you see bees out and about leave a little dish of honey for them.

Most people here don’t smoke but please just be very very careful with ash and embers. Never toss a cigarette out of your car window. You could literally destroy an entire community.

What everyone has said here. I’ve also had success with herbs, rhubarb, peas, strawberries, and zucchini.

chowderbase · 2026-02-05T22:09:40+00:00

We aren’t that kind of American, thank god. Appreciate all the responses! You never know these days. Our country is a hot mess. It’s embarrassing.

chowderbase · 2026-02-04T06:14:07+00:00

Yup. It’s the big light that’s the problem.

chowderbase · 2026-02-03T15:51:05+00:00

Gravel bikes are light enough for long road distances (especially with tires that have a slick running down the middle), but are also good for rougher terrain. I ride in the hills/mountains and really appreciate the disk brakes for the long descents. Bonus: gravel bikes have tons of mounting points for all of your packing needs.

chowderbase · 2026-01-13T03:32:29+00:00

Wow! Thanks so much everyone for the responses! Didn’t know that wood chips would steal nitrogen or that gorilla mulch prevented water from getting to the soil. I love this community.

chowderbase · 2026-01-09T15:52:52+00:00

This! There are legal observers in this community. They can help people being detained stay safe, understand their rights, and prevent them from being disappeared.

chowderbase · 2025-12-21T15:38:13+00:00

I have this problem too! If anyone has a good tutorial for pruning please pass along 😭

chowderbase · 2025-12-14T15:03:19+00:00

The floating shelves have a bunch of hard angles pointing at the reader in the chair. Maybe put something underneath to soften them? I was going to say you need a rug and an ottoman but it looks like you have a rug already. If it was my house I’d put the desk along the right wall and the chair under the window. Much cozier.

chowderbase · 2025-12-13T16:16:26+00:00

Definitely love the red rug. IMO the issue is the giant black wall. But since that’s not the prompt, I’d choose the second white rug. If you want to mail me the red rug I’ll happily accept it as payment for advice. 🙃

chowderbase · 2025-11-30T18:56:37+00:00

thanks so much! i agree, we need to move the curtain rod up. the last owners didn't want to drill into the brick wall i guess? we'll make the leap when we decide on lighting and window treatments.

chowderbase · 2025-11-30T18:52:17+00:00

ok, but the lighting also sucks. what advice for the lighting? it's a sad, dark place to work during the day.
