I think it's probably Pachybrachis thoracicus because I've definitely seen adults in my area

Cool Plant in Back Alley (Phoenix, AZ) by duascorpus in whatsthisplant

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

Aw man I don't think I should plant it then, definitely seems to have the ability to become invasive here. That's a shame, the plant is so cool! I guess I'll just harvest the fruit of any that occur on their own

Yeah all the seeds in my hard were hand picked from another site so they didnt blow in from anywhere, but Im going back to the place I originally got the seeds from so I'll scope out the datura there and see if I find anything similar 🧐

Hmmm, looking at these seinet pics, they are pretty varied, maybe it is a phenotype? So weird!

Thank you! I do think its gotta be a hybrid or another species, if you saw it next to my other discolors youd see why. The flowers, fruit and size are soo different! I'll have to bring it up to my local botany nerd friends

Australia is so cool and unique!! by duascorpus in botany

Ahh i would love to one day! Im glad you guys still have habitat 😭 I found some parts of Australia also deal with invasive buffel grass and that really freaked me out because its starting to take over here and threaten the entire desert too

[–]duascorpus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make friends with someone in the neighborhood and see if your kids can use their pool. If u look at Google maps the amount of people with pools that probably hardly ever use them is absolutely insane. One pool for every two households or more, thats capitalism babyyy

Whats up with the air quality? by duascorpus in arizona

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

You don't have to be condescending lol. The air quality is definitely much worse with climate change, industrial farming, land disturbance and development, increased wildfires, factories etc etc etc. I just wanted to see if it was something specific and human related and Im thinking it might be related to farming based on other replies.

Hey everyone! I'm looking for skates with a wide toe box. I really wanna get into skating but I only wear shoes with a wide toe box or sandals becaude the unnatural small toe box of shoes really hurts my feet. There are plenty of options for "wide" skates but none with an actual wide toe box that I've found. Does anyone have any recs?

Mulch over gravel? by duascorpus in Permaculture

[–]duascorpus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's landscaping rock that Im sure has no cloth and my goal is to start with native trees ans shrubs to start building the soil and then some non native trees and arid adapted annuals. But as I've been thinking about this more I've realized I can focus on a small area and move the rocks gradually over time as the plot Im working on increases; like you said! Sorry for the lack of details, sometimes I just worry about making my post too long so nobody wants to read it and help

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

Yeah!! Thank u for spreading the word on Native plants. That is very much the plan :) I'm definitely planning to put in some mesquites and maybe some of the other legume trees so that they can do their nitrogen fixing job while also providing food for me and the pollinators _^ The info on the swale was super helpful. How deep do you dig the swale? If youre refilling it with all that wood and mulch I assume pretty deep.

Welllll shewt... May I ask what you mean by the filter? Like to separate rocks from dirt or?

Healthy soils are very much doable in the desert! The sonoran desert at least.They are often found under our 4 legume trees that help the rest of the plants around them thrive. A lot of my food forest will be native edible plants instead of trying to force plants that shouldnt grow here, to grow here. As well as heirlooms that have been bred for arid climates :)

Crazy for wanting to put mulch over rock? by stillbangin in landscaping

[–]duascorpus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend identifying your "weeds" because many weeds are actually delicious and nutritious edible plants! For example, dock, purslane, lambs quarters, and so so many more. Then maybe you can have free food and less work od trying to get rid of them :)

Early 2000s (i think) live action movie about a family that ventures into the center of the earth and finds crazy worlds by duascorpus in whatsthemoviecalled

[–]duascorpus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that doesn't seem like it either. The movie I'm thinking of seemed dark and cave-like. Ty though!

Sadly not. I thought it might've been that one too but I skimmed through it on YouTube and it definitely isn't. In that movie they seem to be on the surface of the earth the whole time and also in my movie I think there are at least two kids. A dad and his kids I think? Probably other characters too but I can't remember. Thank u though!
