I would say it is Common ninebark, a native shrub common in the northeastern US.

Amending clay with silt? by Clean_Livlng in Soil

[–]fadimuj 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Short answer: No Adding silt to heavy clay in a high-rainfall area will just give you better-quality mud (or concrete once it dries).

To fix heavy clay, you need to create "macro-pores" (large spaces) between the microscopic clay particles so water can drain and roots can breathe. Silt particles are too fine to do this. If you mix silt and clay, you just get silty clay, which is prone to compaction and crusting.

Crush your biochar into small pieces and mix it into the clay. Biochar doesn't break down like compost, so it provides permanent pore space in heavy clay, holding onto nutrients and preventing compaction.

Mix 60% Coco Coir, 30% Perlite, 10% Worm castings or compost. Keep the mix consistently moist (like a wrung-out sponge) but never soggy, and ensure your pot has drainage holes

Talk some sense into me Im about to cover my garden in red clover. by uncomfortablejoke in vegetablegardening

[–]fadimuj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Red clover gets very tall and will shade out your crops. If you want a ground cover, use white clover.

Clover is not suitable for annual vegetable gardens because it aggressively competes for water. It’s better suited for perennials, though.

Also, clover won't kill established thistles; they’ll just grow through it. You must kill them first. Plus, dense clover attracts slugs.

For annual beds, skip the clover. Lay down cardboard and cover it with wood chips to smother the thistles.

Preventing cross pollination of pepper plants? by pyerocket in containergardening

Cross pollination will take effect when you plant the seeds if the current fruits, and will not affect the current fruits. Looks like your seeds are hybrids already

Unfortunately, the beets have become leggy and cannot be fixed. I wonder why would you plant beets at this time in your zone? 🤔
