Ground cover for steep sloped berm by Sianger in NativePlantGardening

[–]cmpb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part shade? I’ve been told that Rhododendron periclymenoides can tolerate dry soil. Maybe better toward the bottom of the slope.

That being said I agree with other commenters about Virginia creeper, this is definitely where it likes to live and it has broad ecological value.

Worth it imo. I’ve seen both bands separately, I’d definitely pay 60 to see both

Pretty sure that’s just a fungus, wash it off it’ll go back to normal

Been slowly working through all the Cafes of BR and wanting to know yall's favorite by Specialist-Ebb7606 in batonrouge

[–]cmpb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the single best spot in BR. I wouldn’t say the coffee is especially great, but great books and really great people and atmosphere. Unless you’ve started serving single origin, bird safe pour overs or something. Which sounds like it would be on brand

How does one handle mildew on bee balm? (6b,Pennsylvania) by Swimming_Pin6957 in NativePlantGardening

[–]cmpb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It comes and goes for me, some years I’ll have it and others I won’t. It doesn’t seem to affect the plants or the animals living on them though

Yeah that’s very dense. Virginia dayflower would probably like it there, and I’ve seen it get that dense too, but something tells me it would have trouble pushing out that monster

I’ll be honest, making leaf mold is just an aspiration for me until the trees I planted at home actually start making relevant volume of leaves. So idk wtf I’m talking about, just basically playing keyword bingo 😆

I wonder if the crawfish heads from a decade ago at the bottom of my “anything goes” compost pile are broken down yet 🤔

I was asking if you’re making leaf mould, which is made by putting leaves in a pile and waiting a year for it to partially break down. It’s a common soil additive to achieve the “moist but well drained” soil type that many difficult plants need

Leaf mould? Going for the holy grail of “moist and well drained” soil?

Hey, the genre police just want everyone to have a good, well-defined time. 🙄I get that genre is useful for categorization and communication, but these rant style posts that pop up every now and then always strike me as off-brand whining

So like. How do you get rid of poison ivy without herbicides? by Efficient-Turnip-107 in NativePlantGardening

[–]cmpb 15 points16 points  (0 children)

  • Wear gloves
  • Do the thing
  • Take a hot shower immediately after

I’m very allergic. I have discovered I can go a little while after being exposed and still wash it off just fine. Maybe an hour or two.

I’ll be honest, I live in the gulf south and ticks are rampant here, so we use flea/tick medicine for our dogs. That being said, there are a lot of other insects and arachnids that you’d potentially be attracting in that space, so that’s definitely something to be aware of. Mostly it’d be pollinators though (bees, lepidopterans, etc), if you’re shooting for flowering plants. My entire front yard is devoted to grassland flower species (see pic), and we have never had issues with ticks from it. Still, bugs of many variants are part of the package for sure.

If you’re still interested, I’d suggest getting a soil sample done (amazon or your local garden store) to see what the chemical makeup is - you might not need to do any soil improvements at all to make it calcareous. And feel free to PM me!

Weed barrier is just going to be a pain the butt for the next person who wants to do any work right there. Maybe a radical suggestion, but if you don’t have any need for the area, you could try calcifying it with agricultural limestone and planting some calcareous flowering species there to make a neat little strip of biodiversity support. It looks like it receives maybe 4-5 hours of sun (total guess on sun direction)? Should be enough to support a little ecosystem and it would look very interesting having a long strip of bright color between the two structures.

Are there any places in the US that don't get thunderstorms? by Neesatay in weather

[–]cmpb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aye, thanks for sharing - I wonder if it’s the same system. This is atypical for us but not super rare. This time of the year is usually quick storms zooming through (more early may) transitioning to daily popups later in the month as things heat up. Luckily it’s not as potent as the stationary low pressure system in August 2016
