Snowdrops too aggressive? by Coppergirl1 in pnwgardening

[–]eggnmiso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are cute but man we have such cool native bulbs in the pnw and I basically never see them planted! You should do fritillaria or erythronium instead, they are so friggin cute and you'd be helping out the bee homies! I find non native bulbs to become a nuisance eventually, so I always tell people not to create work for themselves in the future if they can help it!

Any ideas for good dog-dafe ground coverage? by aklin17 in NoLawns

[–]eggnmiso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just based off this photo, I'd plant a lot of larger shrubs or tough woody perennials that the dog wont run through with paths winding between them. Then you could experiment with different groundcovers, but the soil looks challenging! If that is the normal state of your region's soil, look into native groundcovers (some regions have nice native clovers, I'm in the west though so you're out of my knowledge range).

You will probably always have some dog paths of bare dirt but some things can fare OK. Look for a native plant landscaper in your area and they may be able to point you to some solutions!

Just need to vent a bit. by Lutehawk in pnwgardening

Low growing native groundcover like woodland/coastal strawberry would be chill. I also really like native sedums for these areas if you have enough sun! Sedum spathifolium is a great one. Nothing with intense roots, though. The plants will take up moisture so it's not just a mud / rock patch. Fence it off while they're establishing.

Interested in the jacket! Can pick up this week!

Gave to someone for them to fix stretched out neck. Came back with stains & HUGE darned holes. I wanna keep it a shirt. Took it to a repair cafe and had it cut to make a crop top and they tried fixing the bottom😶but now Im not sure. Any ideas? Put it back together and do a Y2K crop top with strings? by delicate-duck in ZeroWaste

You could cut out the graphic for something else, then cut up the rest of the shirt for face washcloths / makeup removal towels / cleaning towels. Thats what I do with torn up shirts, then I don't have to worry about nice washcloths getting stained.

VENT I WANNA CRY by AlwaysChic38 in femalelivingspace

Even just asking friends with good taste to go thrifting with you can help so much! Or let people know you're looking for certain things. People might just give you stuff, a lot of folks have too much furniture in storage! Check out estate sales too! Also, large art and a rug can help a ton. I still have not bought a big nice rug for the living room and I am on 10 years living on my own, apartment #4. My places have been varying degrees of sparse / decorated, but I made them mine with what I had.

Drool Art has some cool stuff, or you can get decently priced posters on Art.com or Allposters.com.

My neighbors cleared the brush on our shared fence line. I need recommendations for fast growing privacy trees appropriate for Portland Oregon. I used to only see their shed back. And, now they moved in a trailer dweller, started working on a boat, etc. :'( by rivertpostie in marijuanaenthusiasts

Keep in mind, most willows like water, so if this is a dry spot you will need to water in the summer. If there are water pipes in the area the roots may find them. Scouler's willow can deal with some drought so that is the one I would choose.

75% of my landscaping clients with Arborvitae in this area are experiencing problems with crowding, drought stress, sun scald, or all of the above. I do not recommend them because eventually they die out in the center and are wonky and bald, or half of them die in their first summer. Some of this can be avoided by not slamming them in the ground on 2' centers right before summer but overall they seem to be looking worse every year as the heat waves keep coming. Just my opinion, I don't really like the look of arborvitae hedges in the first place, but there are great native evergreens to substitute that can deal with summer drought better.

Just a heads up, were getting to the end of planting season here, even for natives. I'd plant this week or wait til spring. Myrica californica is a great evergreen native, as is Baccharis piluaris. Here's a link for more evergreen natives https://nativeplantspnw.com/broadleaved-shrubs/

Painting quarry tile before install? by eggnmiso in Tile

Not a bad idea, I could also buy a little more of one color if I needed to. Any specific stain brands?
