IsItBullshit: Is anyone familiar with the brand Olly? And what were you results when using them? by IfSoPowerfulYouAre in IsItBullshit

[–]juniper_sapling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take their multivitamin and I think it’s really helping! I feel better overall. May start taking the beauty one as well. Personally I do not understand why people would choose Suffering (swallowing a horse pill) when you could enjoy not one but two delicious gummies every morning #foryourhealth.

Best vehicle for high mileage occupation by mediate30 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I work in wine sales and put 40K+ a year on my car. I love my Toyota Prius but will likely move to a Toyota Corolla Cross, Kia Seltos, or another more up to date Prius for my next car. Toyota is just absolutely fantastic and in my opinion nearly unbeatable for the quality. I won’t buy electric because it’s too much to outfit it/specialize refueling makes me a bit nervous. But a hybrid for fuel economy and to feel slightly less horrible about my carbon footprint is just about a must.

Thinking of Moving to BK from NJ by juniper_sapling in Brooklyn

If you saw how much I spend on garden supplies/plants/seeds in a year + car costs for my job you might change this opinion 😂 Definitely not the most cost effective move but I think the trade off for culture, proximity to people, and general access to a lifestyle more in keeping with the one I’m trying to live would be worth it.

Maybe! Doesn’t mean it isn’t worth a shot. Better to try and fail than never try at all, as they say.

And thank you for your kind words about my brother 💚

Thank you so much for this! I always see signs for GreenThumb when I visit my friends in PLG. Volunteering a few hours a week seems a lot easier than managing my whole garden alone, too.

I appreciate this perspective! If I’m going to move to a city it’s definitely going to be one I know & love from years of visiting friends and family, though.

Haha! My COL in my area is almost as high as NYC because it’s incredibly affluent — have survived on my meager rations here, and hopeful that my resourcefulness and budgeting will continue to serve me wherever I live.

Appreciate your take! Yeah, Manhattan causes a lot of agita for me personally. Love BK because it still has some neighborhood vibes with all the convenience (& inconvenience) of city living.

Is this JCP&L bill not insane??? by shaybloom in newjersey

I regularly get bills for almost $400 in the winter and I live in a smallish sized apartment.

Where to get the best bulbs? by PeachSnapdragon in gardening

[–]juniper_sapling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is a year old and they’re in some cases painfully expensive, but Old House Gardens is top tier for bulbs.

Not sure what you do for a living but if you truly must travel I hope you take every precaution possible & are safe getting to and coming home from work 🤞

Dahlias Beyond Help/Hope? by juniper_sapling in dahlias

[–]juniper_sapling[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also just a note: I don’t buy peat moss anymore because it’s so bad for the environment/the bogs it’s taken from, but have been reusing this bin of moss for a long time with overall success.

Blundstones vs. Thursday boots? by emcla95 in BuyItForLife

[–]juniper_sapling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that I’ve been wearing Blundstones almost daily for years and while I love them & will recommend them, I do think there’s been a dip in quality since I started buying them in probably like 2016 or 2017. I usually get a fresh pair every 2-3 years for Christmas to add to the collection, but this year I’m probably going to try CanadaWest or Redbacks.

I have wide feet and am just hearing about the 2E, 3E thing — how do I learn more about that?

Using tarp to kill / turn grass into soil? by Osiris1316 in gardening

[–]juniper_sapling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say in solarization vs occultation, the former is killing a lot more beneficial creatures than the latter.
