    I think the pond is the best part of the yard! It’s filter-free and pump-free. Loved by frogs.

    It would be so hard to list everything. Things that come to mind are: Milkweed, pawpaw, Serviceberry, spicebush, coneflower and bergamot

    The full species list would be pretty expansive.






  • I’m not able to double-check for you (I probably can later), but I would first verify everything is native. You can use sites like USDA plants to find range maps for individual species.

    I like to buy from opnseed and their woodland edge mix sounds like a good fit assuming it’s all native.

    I would also evaluate the moisture conditions of your site. Some plants like it drier, some wetter.

    It probably had desodding in the title. Or desod. It turns out I do have the photos still and I could recreate the post if necessary. It is very likely that I deleted the original post because I used to purge my accounts regularly but have slacked on it in recent years.

    I’m glad you restarted the community here. I used to post on Reddit under a different name. I had posted a step by step on prepping a site by desodding as well as other advice.

    I hope to start taking photos of my own yard to share and contribute to the site.
