A confession (slrpnk.net)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Guys, as the person who started no lawns on Reddit (and here) my yard is a disaster lol. I work outside all day and the last thing I want to do when I get home is yard work. That being said, I removed a bunch of invasives from my yard Monday and I'm working on a plan to tackle a corner of my yard the way I've always wanted to in NoLawns style with native plants. I'm always open to suggestions for the Chicago area!

Why is it so hot? (www.tiktok.com)

I thought that for a long time of my life. Turns out, all of my childhood my feelings, my likes and my dislikes were all invalidated constantly by everyone around me. Which lead me to have no idea who I was or what I wanted.

Not saying that's the same case for you but, might be time to do some inner work.

Non tech, I currently work in municipal water but previous to that was municipal sewer.

I also saw in this thread I'm not the only woman working on a racecar! Hell yeah

That's a 10/10 quote

This made it so big people outside of Lemmy were talking about it. I overheard some co-workers talking about it and I was like you're on Lemmy?? And they were confused.

I probably wouldn't quit my job because I like it. I probably wouldn't even tell many people I had that much money. My only debt is my mortgage so that would be gone. I'd probably buy a better house with an actual yard. Sell this house to my roommate for dirt cheap. (There's no way he'd just take it)

Probably do some lying that my brother won some kind of raffle and give him a bunch of racecar parts. Shit maybe even sponsor a race team or two, gotta get the young kids back in the sport as all the old guys retire.

I'd probably buy some land in another area, give myself a vacation house. But this wouldn't be immediate. Probably get a new car, mines pretty old. Build a greenhouse on my new property, have way too many rescue animals. Maybe even run a small rescue.

All this is assuming I've already set myself up for retirement and I'm good to go with everything else.

This post just makes me want to be friends with you lol

If you're into it, https://slrpnk net is a pretty sweet instance. Lots of ecological and other solar punk communities. It's where I set up the new NoLawns community.

Idk about niche so much as, not nearly as popular as it used to be. Circle track asphalt racing. My whole family is in on it. My grandpa did it, my dad and my uncle's did it (and are helping us) now my brother's and I are carrying the legacy. Used to be 17 people from our town showing up to the track every weekend. Now there's 2 of us crews that show up.

My brother used to be really big into his ham radio. It got smashed in his move and he never bought another one =\

Native Grasses (www.tiktok.com)

If you're going to plant grass, make it native to your area, wildlife depends on it.

I've seen 2 new awesome resources pop up in the comments this week (I haven't added them to the list yet my personal life is chaos right now). I'd love to know if you guys have come across any other books, websites, videos etc that you find very useful and informative to add to the list.

Here is the current list of resources.

I'd love to get as many resources as possible outside the US.

Would love to see lists from all over the world!

Love the Sims 2! (slrpnk.net)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

So happy to see a Sims 2 sub!! I'm really hoping to see r/sims2help migrate over here at some point. Chances this community will include the link they have in their wiki to download the game?

I was thinking, "is this the thing? The first thing all the reddit people get to see coming to Lemmy? Is this history???"

But seriously, WTF

Why native plants? (nativegardendesigns.wildones.org)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Here's another link to Wild Ones explaining why to choose native plants over non natives.

What natives do you have growing?

I run a decent sized sub. I've noticed the last few days that all my sticky posts that say where else you can find us are getting mass reported. I usually have like 6 reports a week. I'm getting a report on every post made that gets the sticky all of a sudden. I just took the word "Lemmy" out and we'll see if that changes. Anyone else noticing something similar if you still have an account?

Obviously these plans aren't inclusive of the entire US but from what I understand they are working on adding even more garden plans to their list.

This can be beneficial if you live in any of these towns and would like to have a list or a plan for natives in your own yard and your don't know where to begin.

Pleasant Forever Habitat Seed Store (www.pfhabitatstore.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Just sharing this link since everyone always loves American meadows so much. The only issue I take with them is they sell seed packs that are "native to your area" and some are not.

One of our Reddit mods has said he's had great luck with Pheasant Forever as a US based option who focuses on natives for habitat restoration.

I've never used them personally but I wanted to drop it as a link since I had never heard of them before.

Mead (slrpnk.net)

How many of you make mead? I made my last small batch for Thanksgiving and I've just gotten caught up with life and other hobbies and forgot it existed until I saw this community.
