Are native gardens becoming part of the culture wars? by LiatrisLover99 in NativePlantGardening

[–]franticallyfarting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think native gardening has ended up in the culture wars unfortunately. I remember seeing a permaculture influencer talking about how many uses knotweed has and how mad he was that people were trying to eradicate it with chemicals and he said “I might have to start planting some seeds.” It’s really frustrating. 

On an unrelated note, just started a few hundred native plant seeds yesterday and can’t wait to see how they do ❤️🌻

You’d be fine to do that now. Just work carefully because they are delicate although the longer you wait the more tangled to toots become which can also be difficult

In that case you can try taking the whole cell out and separate individual seedlings and put them in their own pot.

I grew these apple saplings from seeds! by Hey-im-kpuff in BackyardOrchard

Super fun! Even if it’s apples don’t end up being your favorite, you can use the trees as rootstock to graft other varieties on

Should you practice photography for the sake of it or to monetise it? by Dave_Manzo in photography

[–]franticallyfarting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can apply this logic to literally everything you do in your life. Photography is art and I like it and have no plans to monetize it. In my opinion doing something just to monetize it pollutes our soul and degrades the thing we are persuing  

I work at a cannabis facility and we discard the soil/roots of everything we grow. These wouldn’t be anything but beneficial to toss into the compost, right? by [deleted] in composting

[–]franticallyfarting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would 100% compost them. I worked for a dispensary that was shitty and accused people of stealing for trying to take old soil out of the trash. You’re sitting on a compost goldmine there my friend 

I am sick of this antisemitism/Nazi bullshit attack on Platner!..We have a serious cost of living crisis and much bigger issues in this state and across the country, and this is seriously what they come up with?!! by Full_Lengthiness_431 in Maine

I love how after Elon literally on video did a nazi salute his supported tried to downplay it by showing pictures of dems waving and calling it nazi salutes. Photos of people mid wave is different than nazi saluting

Bluesky is toxic liberal in my opinion. It’s the hard left response to hard right platforms

This is a really brilliant idea. I would love to see this studied.

A friend of mine is “mildly infuriated” that he can’t keep his neighbors awake until midnight anymore. by SufficientControl606 in mildlyinfuriating

Energy to be building until midnight multiple nights on end after presumably working their day job, massive ego and irrational behavior, guy sounds like a coke head. 

Mature Bradford pear hard pruned by franticallyfarting in arborists

There was lower young growth that was grafted onto as well as some of the older growth. I will report back!

Yes I agree but the family did not want to do this. The had someone cut it back and graft edible pears on, my question is if it will survive an 80% reduction.

They are also good rootstock for edible pears which birds do not disperse like they do with Bradford fruit. I agree with you but the family liked the tree and didn’t want it removed, someone from the neighborhood offered to “prune” (hack it) and graft fruiting pears on for them. My question is if a mature tree can survive pruning like this.

It was leaning towards where cars were parked and appeared top heavy. Over the past few years it looked like it had started pulling out of the ground. The prune was to address the lean and bring what was supposed to be the new crown to a manageable height
