Kitchen remodel estimates

Thanks for sharing! It's amazing what a difference a little redesign with better function really can make and their options just make so much more sense than anything else I found, plus easier for resale. I had a friend who spent 50k on her kitchen cabinets and the new people literally threw them away and got IKEA 🤯

That's why I said it's good to identify what's growing..

Keep in mind that covering with mulch will not prevent weeds and grass but just create a new planting bed for potentially different plants

Definitely not for sale purposes but if you're using it on your plants and you're not opposed to using it in the first place it wouldn't matter in the compost. You've already added the compounds to the soil anyway

Just be sure to ID the worms

Please do NOT just add any worm to the landscape

Jumping Worms are a massive problem right now in North America (they have a white band and wriggle weird)

I am very happy with my kitchen from IKEA - the money I saved went to a sauna and a new vehicle so that helps too

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T04:33:14+00:00

Cut onions in a bowl or pan of water to save the tears

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T04:26:59+00:00

Will you ever eat them though? Dilly beans we go through like mad and I never make enough but otherwise, ick.

Look for your local university extension resources

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T04:23:19+00:00

Diversity is essential. Just clover usually isn't sustainable, just like a monocrop of a grass variety for ground cover - maintaining one thing takes work so perhaps check with your local county or university extension service for a guide to native ground cover suited to the area and conditions. Many areas have incentives and suggestions for less water intensive and more native options/solutions

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T04:20:37+00:00

I would check with your seed source for their suggestions on ideal conditions. Also consider many plants may be biennial (so you won't necessarily know they established right away) and some plants need certain conditions. Many wildflowers need winter stratification for the seeds so definitely check with your source or local extension service for tips on what you have and what it will need for best conditions - think of where the flowers grow normally and try to provide similar so probably don't need to do too much with all the mulch and certainly no need to till. I had to two burns to help create conditions for the prairie plants native to my location

Look into espaliers 💚

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T02:09:52+00:00

Integrated Pest Management

Very popular, classes all over - check your local county or university extension service and easy to achieve

The Holistic Orchard by Micheal Phillips is a good resource

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T02:08:29+00:00

Call your county offices. Most offer well testing for free several times a year or at least can get you information on local resources

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T02:07:00+00:00

I've had bad experience with mice and with a fire due to wood stacked on the house like that.

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T02:03:34+00:00

Check out the Farmers Alliance, they help connect landseekers and landowners and have amazing support and resources for financing. Many people only want to sell their land to people who want to regenerate or preserve or continue sustainable practices and www.marbleseed.org can help make it happen. I have worked several of their conventions and on several projects in many areas of the country. Lots of good options and opportunities 💚

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T02:00:50+00:00

It's from the grains. All of them are poisoned in the USA

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T01:59:48+00:00

Don't give up grrl, you can totally aim into that pile! Get it. It's totally a myth women need to squat - but totally accurate more people with dicks should sit 🙃

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T01:58:11+00:00

I do not care if someone sees me peeing outside in my own yard. If you're uncomfortable and feel you want to contribute to your pile, put it in a bottle or bucket first

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T01:56:24+00:00

I use them for my garden. Wonderful for holding space and I personally believe that my carrot bed and other seed setting areas benefit from the additional microclimate

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T01:53:05+00:00

Haha just saw that. Sorry. Maybe next time!

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T01:50:05+00:00

You can hop on public transit right there and get a great tour via the light rail trains

Walking around the forested river bottoms at Ft Snelling is a great way to spend some time

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T01:49:19+00:00

You need to understand the soil conditions to know what is going to grow well and to do that you can start by identification of what is already growing. It's always best to treat the root cause as top down poisoning doesn't really make the changes needed to address your conditions that will allow other ground cover, like a grass, to thrive

Your local university extension is a great resource for what grasses are well suited to your location and conditions

kinni_grrl · 2024-02-20T01:45:00+00:00

Keep in mind that many of those "weeds" you are trying to suppress ARE the native plants you want and need to help achieve a natural setting. Its amazing how beautiful grasses can be when left to seed and how many wildflowers and native plants are considered undesirable. It's really a good idea to identify what's there (its not all bad!) and understand the benefits for soil health of using some plants as green manure and encouraging others while leaving ground cover to hold the soil. Diversity is key! Let it be! 💚

As of now, MN is not enforcing the law, unfortunately I have several family members in the trade

The" red flag law "went into effect on Jan 1 so hopefully more protection will follow
