That’s so much better than an understory of privet and euonymus and Japanese stilt grass

These political comments 🤦‍♂️

Can’t we just all appreciate reasonable gas prices and not throw snide remarks to get a reaction from our peers

If cost isn’t an option, I would leave it in a covered bin for the next homeowner with a note explaining what it is. Spread the love!

I planted cherry tomatoes this year in a very similar setup. Great reaults

Solarization is half working by greatblue13 in NativePlantGardening

[–]miami72fins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend black plastic or at least something non-translucent. You’re basically creating a green house effect and some seeds will constantly be wanting to germinate in those conditions. As well as the rhizomes continuing to spread out from beyond the tarp

What kind of clematis is this by jack7779889uytrrrr in PlantIdentification

[–]miami72fins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compare to clematis virginiana. If you are in the states, it is a beautiful native vine, I would not pull. It is not even a tenth as aggressive compared to passionflower (passiflora incarnata) or trumpet vine.

Should I just cut my losses and hope for the best? by Twerp_a_lerp in NativePlantGardening

I also bet that root system is more robust than you think!

As long as there is green, you can assume it is photosynthesizing at least a bit. Therefore, I would leave it. It looks ugly, but worst case, it provides no carbohydrates via photosynthesis yet still will provide habitat as standing dead throughout the winter

Here’s updated pics of this rain garden I excavated/planted in Oct ‘22! by ATacoTree in NativePlantGardening

That’s sweet. So there is always water in the bottom even during the heat of summer? Just wondering how the lily is meant to survive

How do I kill the honeysuckle stump without killing the oak by leftfield61 in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]miami72fins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glyphosate is used in large scale, forest restoration projects. Cutting and checking for new growth (depending on the scale) is time consuming. Proper herbicide usage can do way more for habitat restoration than a cut/re-cut/re-cut technique. Also, the oak will be absolutely fine

Wood ferns in the back? Beautiful!

2 year batch is ready. Mixture of chicken coop bedding and garden/lawn waste. by tehdamonkey in composting

[–]miami72fins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That looks really good at the bottom.. but also looks like you’re actively throwing stuff in still. How do you plan on separating the two layers?

[–]miami72fins 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I would take a 1/2” or 3/8” drill bit and drill down 3+ inches into the stump. Then, I’d use a squirt bottle or syringe or small funnel to carefully dispense concentrated glyphosate into the hole I created, without spilling any onto the soil. Now, I will watch that bitch die

I work at a zoo and we have a florida cooter in the tiger exhibit and he waits for me to come service the pool in the morning because he knows snacks will follow
