  It is better than turf, but I’m not talking about grass lawns, I’m talking about plants like for a garden. It’s better to have more garden plant masses, less grass lawn.

  Most people don’t need as much lawn as they have and reducing down to more what you actually use is great, but it’s totally situational.

  If you wanted a NorthEast suggestion for general ground cover I’d say wild strawberry. But if it’s like … Lawn then just stick with what you’re doing.

  Native plant patches can also absorb some of the harmful crap like pesticides to a degree. It does help.

  Honeybees cant buzz pollinate for shit, lazy ass bee

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are so cooked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately, naturalized plants are not good. It’s a scale, with invasive plants being extremely bad. Naturalized plants aren’t as bad. But still bad

  In the end, our native insects rely on native plants (with extremely few exceptions to not be distracted by). A native plant can support hundreds or even thousands of species.

  A non native / naturalized plants cannot support even a fraction of that. They can also support… Non native insects. Which in turn fuck up the ecosystem, either by displacement or direct damage.

  I’m not gonna tell you to rip out naturalized plants like clover. I’m not gonna say you should destroy your garden. You should just know that native plants are superior in literally every possible way, and your NEXT plant choices should be as native as you can get :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are so cooked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plant native. Plants that are native to your ecosystem. Those are the true pollinator powerhouse plants that bees need to survive

  Totk is… more of an expansion/dlc than a sequel. Even the intro has near identical beats. The map is literally re used.

  Fun game still.

  I love love love perfect dark. But it’s uhhh it does not hold up. The campaign starts fairly strong and craters pretty quick. It really feels like they just weren’t able to really… Finish the game when it came out.

  Also, like GoldenEye, a huge component of Perfect Dark was multiplayer.

  Old XCOM also likes to bend you over and fuck you over a lot. And that’s the way we liked it!

  Mint is probably not one of the many native mints :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fight fire with napalm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on the area. English Ivy is not native to the US, and it can fucking suck. It can easily take over entire areas. Since it re roots itself, it’s awful to remove.

  It’s great in it’s native environment

  Just… don’t use it in the US. Plant natives plants. There are lots of incredible native vines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fight fire with napalm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Plants can be more aggressive just by nature.

  Generally, it’s probably more location dependent. Concord grape (a cultivar of fox grape) is native to eastern US gobotany.nativeplanttrust.org/…/labrusca/

  So if you’re in this area it may not be a big deal.

  Virginia Creeper is also native to that area, and folks consider it a weed because it grows fast. Even though it’s native, and the colors slap in the fall.

  Keep your concords

  General location? Outdoor I assume?

  You cannot fuck up with this folks. Just buy potted native plants and shove them in somewhere that matches light conditions and maybe wetness. They just grow without any other input.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reminder for all Lemmy moderators and admins.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  then fucking SHOVEL IT!!

  Yeah good point, it was fucked up warm this year

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not my favorite. I found a neighborhood that others tend to drive to, which I think is most other people’s ideas, so it ends up getting slammed. Which imo would be sort of fun to decorate for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Has it always been like this or is this a result of the pandemic?

  Going out this year I saw lots of folks just outside their house during the start of trick or treating. It was actually really neat. And I just… didn’t expect it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ailanthus⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a smother option but it takes 5ish years of leaving smothered.

  There’s the roundup spray option, which is probably the most effective currently? It’s critical you spray at the right time (after it flowers)

  I saw one option of repeatedly cutting it to eventually starve the plant of energy. I suspect there’s some specifics there about when it’s ok to cut though.

  Rush 2, but just the stunts track

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite racing games?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew one of the designers who worked on that (or maybe on one of it’s ports?) and he fucking loved the game. He would often describe in detail why it was the superior kart game
