I really don’t know what you’re all getting into a tizz about?! Grows just fine for me ;)

I can tell you that 30cm of woodchip will do sod all to stop it. My mint grows under 50cm of concrete. It takes a couple of years to get there, but it does!

I’ve not heard of anyone else making such a thing, but not surprised it does exist. However, I can 1-up that with my childhood creation - the triple fold sandwich. One slice of buttered bread, one slice of buttered toast & one slice of butter fried bread. Fold each one in half, overlapping half of the adjacent piece. You get a mix of three different bready textures & flavours in each bite. I haven’t made it in a few decades so I may not enjoy it so much now, but it was good at the time!

Probably a quicker option is to soak off all the soil, pick those with nice equal length roots then arrange against a cleanly cut block of earth. There’s no more radishes either side so you’d have to plant a fair few lines so you’d end up with one with such a neat row I reckon.

With you on this, only ever known shoes off bar the odd occasion where I’m there for work and will only be a few minutes. I ask of course before traipsing around!

Yeah, on a wildlife friendly instance this seems like a bad choice of pic! Why not use an image of the animal swimming in the sea, alive & well?

I took it as turning the discussion around - I.e. what to do if your neighbour behaves as above? If so, it sounds like a good way to get people to think about respectful behaviour.

I guess the man’s hair makes her fingers look more pointy. If you’re eternal and out to drink blood, you’ve got pointy fingers y’know.

I’d argue that parents are different to a ‘leader’ as we perceive them, or as I read was suggested in the comment. Children will stick with their parents, up to the point at which they’re ready to start their own family, like you say, but is that leadership in the same sense?
But yes, I agree, pack = family is accurate.

Dogs don’t need a leader - the whole alpha male wolf thing has long been disproven, by the original author none the less. Dogs are highly social and live in groups, yes, but there’s no boss dog. Very few animals have a concept of a leader. In fact I’d argue that none do and it’s a totally human idea.
I like your cat/dog thinking idea though. Cats very much think ‘me me me’!

- Comment on Labour votes AGAINST letting disabled people use the bus for free before 9:30am 8 months ago:
Maybe if there was a public transport system still running that was not just a cash cow and stifled for the benefit of big oil then it wouldn’t matter who used it when.
Some people wake very early and may only be well enough during rush hour to travel… and yet they’re not supported in doing so, even though it’d cost relative pennies.
Oh and re your last Q, disabled people aren’t allowed to go out on the lash or to the theatre etc, they’re disabled so should be tucked up in bed staring at the samecwall they’ve been staring at all daytime. It saves the government tens of pounds a year that!
PS I’m not being narky at you, rather the system.

I had to look this up as it sounded unusual, but looking at the younh plant it is basically a small trunk covered in long floppy pine leaves/needles that superficially looks like a clump of grass at first. I suspect there’s no evolutionary advantage to looking like grass, but storing up energy before growing upwards makes sense if there’s a periodic fire risk with each fire risk period being over a couple of years. Also handy for dealing with browsing pressure from particulary hungry critters following a fire.

- Comment on Carnivory in Plants 11 months ago:
There’s tonnes of blackthorn and a lot of sheep in the UK and I’ve never heard it to be problematic. Sheep ate pretty dim, but bramble is definitely not thorny/spiney enough to get caught bar the odd occasion. I’m sure I heard about a shrub (African maybe) that sheep can get completely ensnared in and die, but can’t find it!
