    Jump
  • greatwhitebuffalo41 greatwhitebuffalo41 1 month ago • 100%

    Seeds are a good idea but I've had a lot better results starting them inside. I start them a week or two ahead of when they would start shooting up outside naturally.

    I use a big tray with decent drainage, I moisten the soil first so it's an even moist through the whole thing, put down a layer of seeds on top, put a little bit of most soil over them, just enough to cover them, I put some plastic wrap or a plastic bag over it with some air holes, and let it sit somewhere warm with no direct sunlight for a week. I personally use a seed mat but I know people who put them on top of their fridge or other places that stay a little above 70°

    As soon as they germinate you don't NEED the plastic wrap but you can keep it a little longer to keep the soil moist if you want. Once they're an inch or two tall, I divide it all up (if I'm not using a divided tray already) and go plant them in the garden.

    This method works with just about anything you wanna plant. It helps to get things started and established inside where it's a controlled environment.

    I tried one of those "for ADHD" aps tiimo I think it was. It was great for about 3 days because it was new and exciting and the I just never used it again.

    I use calendars for birthdays and for the people I need to gift I set up reminders to buy or send gifts that way. Anything I need to do goes in the calendar too or I'll forget about it.

    Not so much an app but smart home stuff has been a game changer. I just setup my washer and dryer on a smart plug so I get notifications when my laundry is done. At some point I'll give myself reminders I haven't done anything with it too lmao. I also have lights turn on and off at certain times, doors auto lock after 2 minutes, I'm changing out my bathroom fans soon for humidity sensors, and I'm sure I'll come up with more.

    Ohh app stuff. Scheduling text messages! Sometimes I forget people exist so when I remember I'll schedule a text or two for a few days later to keep a conversation going or start a new one so they're not always the one to text first.

My end goal (not my current short term goal) is for my front yard to be a beautiful collection of native plants with intentional looking flower beds with a path from the sidewalk to the door and a path from the driveway to the side gate.

    I haven't thought far enough to know what type of path I want to do or anything like that yet. I currently have one flower bed left from the previous owner that I just cleared. I know I'm going to have more weeds before the season is over but I'm planning on starting some planting next spring.

    Why No Lawns?

    Well why would I want a boring grass mono culture yard? This is basically how no lawns started. Over on Reddit just over 5 years ago I started no lawns after having a fun conversation with u/suuperdad about changing the boring grass lawn into some thing more native and better for the environment. On a whim I created a subreddit for it and we started with a hand full of people and now we're pretty good sized! With the reddit blackout on, we realized this community needed to be bigger than Reddit. We already started a discord and we have an Instagram (although I'm terrible at updating it) we wanted to reach even more spaces. I found slrpnk on accident but, it seemed to really fit with our theme and here we are! We're anti monoculture, pro natives plants and we love a non traditional yard.
