My preferred account is on Kbin.social but I can't view this community through Kbin. I get a 404 error. I wonder if lemmy.wtf isn't federating with kbin?
Are there any other kbinners here? I really would prefer to subscribe to all GW2 communities under one account.
Yes, a magazine is just a community or subreddit. I prefer the UI of Kbin but the terminology takes some getting used to. There's also regular posts and microblogs.
I plan to stay on Lemmy/Kbin and abandon reddit for the most part
When it comes to replacing a lawn with native plants there are a few ways to prepare the site. The two main ones are de-sodding and sheet mulching. In this post I will be discussing the former.
First, here is a link to an album with photos and captions. https://imgur.com/a/0Fh2Ned
De-sodding is simply, lifting the top layer of sod off of the soil.
You might ask why this method and not others. It all comes down to personal preference. I have prepared sites either with de-sodding or sheet mulching. I have found that plants took off much faster with the de-sodding method but you may also have more weeds to contend with.
Some of you may ask, what about tilling? Tilling is almost always not recommended. When you till, you bring up many unwanted seeds out of the seed bank. It is also disrupts the soil.
Now let's get started...
Step 1: Mow your desired planting site as low as possible
Step 2: Get de-sodding! You can use a shovel, a manual device or a powered one designed for this purpose. A shovel will be very labor-intensive and not very practical for a large area. Your local hardware store may have a powered de-sodder to rent.
Step 3: Remove the sod that has now been separated from the soil. You can use shovels, try to roll it, or any other method. We used our utility tractor to scrape it off.
Step 4: Spread top soil around your new site. A nice thin, even layer will do
And that's it! If you are planting by seed you can spread it by hand or machine and gently rake it in. Seeds don't want to be buried deep, just on the surface level.
I hope this helps and please ask me any questions!
All I want is to go back to the classic Zelda formula of a linear story with dungeons. BOTW and TOTK are great, but I miss the old games. I miss getting a new item that suddenly makes new parts of the world accessible.
I'm afraid, however, we won't ever see this type of Zelda again. BOTW and TOTK have sold an insane amount of copies. This may be the new normal for Zelda.
Also, please let there be more 2D games.
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.
Yes, I have found a lot of value in Facebook groups for niche hobbies.
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.
That's awesome! Every year I have to do a sweep for invasives. It gets easier but they always try to creep back in.
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.
I've transformed most of my 1 acre yard from lawn to native plant gardens. Native plants support biodiversity!
