And this is why we want to flash our phones ourselves.

Wait is that where Glitch came from?

Sure, just like disney movies it’s made primarily for pubescent humans. Won’t stop my ass from watching it.

Ok, so by biome I meant the biome and not the area. Is it a clay like ground? Are you in a salt marsh? Ideally you could provide a name or even just a type.

Depending on soil composition and environment I would then like to recommend things like:
If you have a lot of silt, so mineral heavy, and that is unusual for the environment, work the top layer of dirt and get some compost in there (few centimeters deep even) to increase bio matter availability, then use nitrogen and water binding plants like clovers to further increase soil quality. This can help in your case because they sometimes put shitty ass sandy soil under and around concrete so it drains better.
That’s an example that may not apply and may be a bad choice. There’s a lot of things you can do.

On the topic of drought:
You probably, again depending on biome, want to get low silt, high carbon soil. The ways you can get that are a lot and the best way depends on, you guessed it, the biome. It holds on to the water better. You can also use plants that keep the water in soil longer, clover is good at that. It’s kind of the perfect plant to make an area fertile again. If it grows, that’s a good first sign. And if it looks dead, chances are it’s not. Drought resistant plants, actual shrubs, they help. If it is really bad you might want to get a large rain barrel just to keep it going until it reaches a stable state.

Your country has the National Vegetation C-something (NVC), which will tell you which plants are found in your area. You can then buy some proper seeds for those conditions from an appropriate seller. https://wildseed.co.uk/mixtures/complete-mixtures/
You can’t just plant any wild seed pack.

I would like to know the makeup and depth of your soil, as well as if there is anything underneath it, maybe concrete? Is there water nearby, how close and what kind is it? Could you go to a similar area nearby that has growth and compare? How long are drought periods? What are temperatures and precipitation like throughout the year in some actual metric? Ideally you’d look that up on open meteo, since I doubt you want to give me the coords of you city. If you really want some help you would take some pics of soil samples from home and local meadow as well as the plants that grow there and send them to me per dm.

Would love to help you get a buzzy garden. A healthy ecosystem doesn’t even need to be full of the annoying buzzers like wasps, you get to decide that. Do it for the Beatles. I wrote that wrong didn’t I.

Maybe silent.link?

On the healthiness of your yard: Dry patches are fine, there are plants for that too. The important part is leaving it alone. I would recommend to mow maybe once a year max. I know, it gets real logn, but that way nature can work wonders. The glass and clover root network will widen and sprawl and fill that space in. And if there is still too much dry dirt there, then other plants will take over. Clover is already more resistant than grass, other weeds are even more resistant. Do an experiment, see what happens. I recommend looking for local dry area plants. We have Heide for that, not sure what it is in english, I’m a german native.

Could you define the weather region, local biome and Surrounding biology? I can not precisely help you with that otherwise.

If you ecological invasiveness, which is an issue with squirrels in some countries, thats fair. But theres ways you can work around that and still have a nice, healthy yard.

I love danger noodles. Especially since they’re not dangerous where I live. I will not commit to making my yard be void of life because I am incapable of using flea shampoo. I will also stay far away from wild animals, like you should.

What makes you insult your furry neighbor?

Alright then, my bad.

Yes more choice often better, not always but often. You specifically said that there are better shows out there though. That’s not fact that’s opinion. Art is like that.

Fine, then I love squirrels.

I generally agree with you, however I don’t think you can really say thatviewing options have improved. That depends on a lot of factors, with the most important one being preference.

Hedgehogs love leaves. And fuck yes do I want some rodents in my yard. I love bunnies. Why would I not want cool ass beetles? And I’m sure the little lizard wouldn’t mind as well.

Fuck the monoculture you call grass. I have a local wildflower yard.

I thought plutonium is just a metallic silver?

I’ll root your asshole!

You need 3 things: Light, water, nutrients.

Light and nutrients are easier, since they don’t require consistency, but it’s the watering that’s a little tricky.

You should have the right soil and pot for that plant and for you I would recommend an automatic watering system. Then just look at it for the first few weeks and dial it in. Succulents also need dry periods, but you can look that stuff up on the web.

Then just check on it every few months/years and you’re good.

Hope this helps.

I got a plant from my father that he found years ago when we moved to a flat. It was in the corner of the bathroom on top of a shelf. It wash shriveled up and completely brown. That kind of fall leaf brown. Mind you, this plant was discovered easily 4 years after we moved in, so it had not gotten water for at least 4 years.

Crazy thing is, that plant was apparently still alive. We do not know how, but it did not die. Maybe it was feeding of the steam from the shower.

It is now part of our family and has had many cuttings made from it.

It’s a crazy plant, it just does not die. I once overwatered it to the point that it’s 15 liter pot was filled to the top of the dirt with water and only when I noticed a “puddle” did I act on it. We have one that is literally just in a jug with water. We also had one where the dirt was full of mold, but that plant was just fine.

I researched that little guy and apparently it’s some kind of Syngonium.

Some mangled gargoyle looking shit that I cobbled together some time ago.

Yoooo that is hella cool! How did you learn to do that kind of stuff?
