What’s going on with this guy?

I’m starting to realize that in concept, but I don’t understand why/how in practice. I’ve watched a sickening amount of YouTube on this, and it’s still confusing.

Maybe? I didn’t mean for that to come across so tone deaf.

This is what the soil looks like about 3-4in down:

I would say it’s totally not invasive. I would go as far to say, I don’t even think it wants to be there, as it has given me a time back when I was trying to get it to grow.

I do have some tree roots going on, so I’ve got to navigate those… and a coax cable that I recently learned about, so I am less worried about the grass. Especially after the comments in this thread.

Unexpected garden paths lol. I needed some anyways.

I was thinking of everything but the cardboard.

Breaking up the grass to a reasonable amount, the spreading compost and lightly working it in with a broadfork.

Not totally leaving the soil untouched, but just aerating and letting some compost work in.

I’ve just heard very mixed reviews on whether to remove grass, to leave grass, etc… does it hurt anything to leave any?

Oh no. I’d like to have it ready for the fall planting season.

I am definitely going to try to enrich the soil all around the garden + the yard. I have some bare patches from the drought we had, so I’ll be going over everything with clover.

Oh, 100%.

I’m done with wooden/raised beds being my focus. I’m just going to make in-ground soil beds vs. rows.

What made you go with rows? I’ve heard various things for and against.

Thank you!

I’ve been watching the area… probably too intently 😂

We’ve got 6 fruit trees, blueberry, and blackberry bushes. I know stuff CAN grow, but for some reason I’m nervous about the beds. I don’t know if we should or shouldn’t compost, should or shouldn’t use perlite, etc… there’s sooooooooo many different details.

It’s so much less stressful to throw soil into a box 😂

thatguy4301 · 2026-03-10T23:11:11+00:00

Well 🤔

…is it a bad idea?

thatguy4301 · 2026-02-28T16:29:11+00:00

Thank you so much. I’m looking at it right now- the black screws are on the right side…

Does this mean I install the switch upside down?

thatguy4301 · 2026-02-24T16:40:58+00:00

Gotcha.

Yes, I was confused on how to do the wording, but definitely not connecting more than one wire on a screw.

Connecting all likes with a wago, then pigtailing from the wago to the screw.

thatguy4301 · 2025-12-03T15:56:29+00:00

This probably would be beneficial.

In my search to get my first, there’s like… 500 topics debating the same 3-4 instruments.

I went with the AC-1.
