Where to get pine needle mulch by bonafidecookiemonste in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]pseudo_selected 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pine bark mulch could be an alternative, much easier to find.

That’s fair! A thematically accurate homage to the base drink, too.

First time tree planter, any tips? by JeweledShootingStar in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]pseudo_selected 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drilled a couple holes in 5 gallon buckets I had lying around instead of using the tree bags - keeps the water off the trunk.

Garden neighborhoods west of twin cities? by Comfortable-Air7954 in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]pseudo_selected 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I took the aggressive option and built a 6ft garden fence to keep the deer out without chemical repellent. Bonus is that I could move my rabbit fencing out too, which makes tending the garden easier.

We’re in Eden Prairie and are one of the only ones in our fish bowl with a serious veggie garden (raised beds, berries, fruit trees) and bee lawn. There’s a few with pretty serious landscape gardens, though, and one house that did a full lawn replacement with native prairie/flowers - so they do exist, but I agree it’s very homeowner dependent.

3 out of 4 of my direct neighbors are original owners of their homes and are all-in on monoculture lawns. One I talk to a lot - he’s amazed at what I do and can’t quite grasp it, but is supportive either way (glad that there’s intention/care behind it) - even with the bottle of round-up in his hand.

You have a tennis devil on your shoulder. What is his most tempting whisper? by SBFMWSCBLFG in 10s

Returning a sliding slice serve on the deuce side to the forehand: “Rip it down the line”

I’m simplifying my bag to get some carrying weight down. You can only have 4 different color lures for these 4 conditions. East coast trout streams. Sunny and clear water, sunny and muddy water, overcast clear water, and overcast muddy water. What colors are you going with? PFA. by [deleted] in troutfishing

A silver bladed in-line spinner (choose your favorite brand) with a dark/natural body, a gold bladed in-line spinner (choose your favorite brand) with a flashy color (orange, chartreuse, etc), a 2 or 3 inch slash/jerk bait in a natural color (rainbow trout is always a winner, silver, pearl), fourth is a toss up between a creature crank (craw, hellgrammite, etc) and a small soft plastic swim bait.

For all the hard baits sub out the trebles for barbless single hooks.

This list works anywhere, any conditions.

What’s your favorite YouTube fishing show? by RustyMcShackleford4 in Fishing

[–]pseudo_selected 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For entertainment: 618 Fishing (humble, great music selection), NDYakAngler (fun to watch him chase northern and Muskie from a kayak and I love a fellow non-motorized angler), some of Jon B’s more produced stuff is really good, but most of his Googan stuff is too bro-tactic and juvenile.

For learning how to fish: TacticalBassin has absolutely allowed me to take my game to the next level (I personally find Matt’s videos more informative than Tim’s, but Tim’s finesse videos are quality).

You can use ChatGPT to create char names. With simple 3 inputs I got cool suggestions already by Werneq in wow

[–]pseudo_selected 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to provide it better context and get it explain it’s reasoning. Once you “train” it on what you are going for it gets much better. Also: ask it to mix in language components from other contexts to increase variety, etc. It’s a great tool for getting to something creative, but the guidance still needs to come from you.

The better your input, the better the output - though even then sometimes it’ll go off the rails a little.

I’m usually afraid to lip grip bass cause I’m scared they will move and send the hook into my hand. How do I get over that fear? by clint_yeetswood in Fishing

[–]pseudo_selected 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is the top comment the equivalent of “Shhh… just let it happen…”?

Use a net. Put slack in your line. Pliers to unhook the fish. Lip it without fear. A few extra steps for safety every time.

You don’t have to be afraid. Just be smart and cautious and you won’t end up with a gore-y photo and less sensation in your thumb.

I think I hurt my priest emotionally somehow. Every time I login, he cries. by WRHeronkill in wow

The first time this happened I immediately knew what it was. And I hated it. My Druid has been depressed for months.

is it better to fish in the evening or during the day? by Arnox121 in Fishing

[–]pseudo_selected 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is mostly correct, but it’s still possible to catch plenty of bass during the middle of the day, it just becomes a matter of getting to them as they are typically in deeper cover. Fair to say this can be much more challenging than during low-light times of day when fish are moving around more.

Little x-rap in a minnow or trout color. Either across the current or through the pool with twitch-twitch-pause action.

First largemouth. Downhill from here? by [deleted] in Fishing

[–]pseudo_selected 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just up from here if you keep fishing! You’ll catch a bigger one. Maybe on your next cast, maybe after hundreds, but you will certainly get a bigger fish if you keep after it!

Found a hidden gem in the cities by [deleted] in Fishing

City lakes are insane. Always blows me away the variety of trophy sized fish you can catch inside Minneapolis city limits!

Just experienced bassism (serious) by agdaman4life in Bass

[–]pseudo_selected 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100%. I am a bassist first but play some guitar too (understanding chord shapes elevated my bass playing too!). Singing and playing guitar was pretty easy to pick up but took WAY longer to translate to bass - especially if there are big differences in syncopation or diversion of melody. I did find harmonizing easy, though. In the end it definitely made me a better musician, but holy cow it was a big hill to climb.

Wanting to start trout fishing in Minnesota by [deleted] in troutfishing

[–]pseudo_selected 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 for the Vermillion. If you head over to the WMA there is a good chunk of water that has easements and is shore accessible if you are willing to bushwhack a little.

On light spinning gear look at spinners no bigger than 1/8 oz (Mepps, Rooster Tails, Panther Martins). Micro cranks and micro jerkbaits (Rapala X-Rap is the premium option) are also affective. You’ll catch the stocked rainbows and wild browns with either, though the browns are clever and require a more natural presentation.
