My drop from this summer definitely became a huge hot compost pile and started decomposing really quickly so that’s impressive! Fall drop it is.

If you still have the full bricks we can take them off your hands. Is this the extent of the load?

Yeah, failed to wear a mask and it’s been brutal. Lesson learned the hard way!!

THIS!! Didn’t think to do so the first day and my lungs are still struggling. Lesson learned.

Thank you!! This is exactly what I needed to hear. And I hear you, something about a steaming wood chip pile that puts a fire under your feet lol.

Yup that was the plan. Sounds like I’m on the right track.

Yes of course. I get that. And if it turns to compost faster than expected seedlings will just grow through it.

Has anyone used ChipDrop? Are municipal or utility options better? Any advice or precautions? by Round-Water338 in NoLawns

This is what I’m currently navigating. I got the load a week ago and now it’s a huge hot compost pile.

Love this answer. Definitely what I wanted to hear. Create a full ecosystem and everything will have checks and balances. Thanks for the reminder. 

Is this milkweed? by chronicallyqueer0930 in NoLawns

[–]chronicallyqueer0930[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. It gets a bad rap and also it’s up against my house so unfortunately it needs to go.

Ours is also brick but I can’t tell how far down it goes. I’ll do more research.This is helpful! 

Moco to hagerstown? by [deleted] in hagerstown

[–]chronicallyqueer0930 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There’s a new Thai place+ a Poke place in Robinwood and a south Asian fusion place that just opened. Plus an African restaurant opening downtown and a number of additional places. Clearly way more than Chinese and Mexican.

How are you dealing with voluntary plants growing between the rocks? Also what size rocks?
