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.

Thanks! It gets better every year

That’s a baffle on a bluebird house. It keeps predators out.

There are native mints as well as invasive. It’s always a good idea to check the range maps

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.

That would be sheet mulching. In my experience it works better with plugs than seed. I could always create a guide on that but I hope someone else does that is more into the method.

I always felt the rise of fake stories came with the change to karma for text posts. It used to be that a text post gave no karma and so there was no incentive to karma farm that way. Once the change happened, many text-based subreddits had their quality drop dramatically.

Did you post to r/amitheasshole? I used to love that one

Oh my! Personally, I stay away from all herbicides. It is certainly a method though. Solarizing is also an option I haven’t tried yet but appears to be relatively low effort.

I don’t know the answer to that question. I would be hesitant to try because it sounds like your site would end up raised from the extra material.

That’s it! I’ll be happy to

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.

The world looked gorgeous but the gameplay looked awkward and clunky. I don’t know if I’ll buy it but I love Avatar so maybe.

My most recent account is: u/valerisii

I have a history of purging my data so the posts might be gone but I hope they still exist. There’s a chance I still have the photos and if so, I could always recreate the how-to

The learning curve is steep but I’m feeling very optimistic and excited to be a part of a new community. Reddit had been going downhill for years ( I joined in 2010).

I plan to stay no matter what reddit does next.

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.

If money was no object I would buy up all of the houses around mine and turn them into native forests.

When ever I see land being cleared for a development, I wish I could just buy it up and preserve it.
