Okay, cool, thanks. I know conservation will provide a seed listing, if nothing else. It’s just a big investment. I didn’t say this earlier, but I’m definitely going to do a test spot this year and see how it goes. I’m not able to drop serious cash on seeds without knowing how it’s gonna go, to some degree.
I’d be interested in trying some plugs. I’m just lucky enough to have some equipment, so I can turn over some ground pretty quickly.
Rough about the septic, comrade. I replaced mine last year.
I actually don’t know how much I need in terms of weight, but something around 300k - 350k Sq ft for that field. I don’t know what I’m doing with the rest yet, but that’s where I’m starting.
Also, this xerces guide is neat, I’m looking through it. And thanks for the seed place. They pretty reputable? I don’t want something invasive mixed in.
Yeah, that’s the direction I’m in. One thing is that I don’t know a ton of places like what I want to do. I’m worried about if I just let it grow if there’s something that should be in there that isn’t, or if something invasive will take over.
I really don’t know much about local resources beyond department of natural resources and conservation. Although, I’m sure there are some bee groups that might know of something I don’t.
Well, it only gets cut like once or twice a year now. There’s some stuff established, but it’s really big for me to be going through and taking clippings. Possible, for sure, but with a few small kids, my time is at a premium.
Idk, really. I’ll see who gets back to me from local offices.
I do have a tractor, which I absolutely love. Unfortunately, my beautiful old gal is going to the tractor doctor, but trying to get her ready to plant this fall.
Yeah, I talked to a department of natural resources guy at the state fair, and received a free packet of wildflower seeds, but I need like a few hundred pounds of it. I gotta email some people.
I’ll check these links, hopefully find a good seed mix.
God, I have a ton of lawn. Few acres of it, really. Got quite a bit more of other stuff. I gotta figure out what I’m gonna do with it.
Right now my back field is just all grown up and a guy cuts it for hay. I’m planning on a wildflower meadow back there, and keeping some bees. Gotta get my tractor ready and all planned out to see what I’m gonna plant and how I’m gonna do it.
The lawn portion I’m not sure. My food plot will go there certainly, but that’s only so much. Maybe I’ll tear it out and do all clover at first. Idk. I’m open to suggestions.
I just really don’t want my kids around any dogs, which is why I disagree with just letting any of them roam. A dog snapped at my kid’s face and now we’re both afraid. Dogs just aren’t people. They get upset and bite. I don’t mind people having them, but yeah.
I thought this exact thing, but the more I learned about them, it turned out to really not be true. While there is a kind of meme culture there of asking Xi to nuke the town they’re currently residing in, and pointing out all of the white supremacist symbols used by the Ukraine’s army or whatever, there is a deeper context for it.
They don’t necessarily support every move these people make and particularly in regards to Putin there is a lot of criticism towards his social stances.
They’re more looking at this through the lens of what a nato conflict is causing in terms of a more multi-polar world and also Russia turning away from the neoliberalism that has dominated it since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Not saying you have to agree with it. I’m more of a centrist myself, but it’s really not fair to say this as a blanket statement with no context.
This is essentially what I used to think as well, until I spent more time there. There’s some stock phrases busted out, and some users probably leave it at that and don’t engage beyond it. However, they genuinely have a deeper framework for an analysis of the world than what you’re going to see from conservatives.
Basically as part of their extremely liberal ideology, they analyze things through a materialist lens, even the non-marxist liberals there, and through that there is a lot of seeking out of what material causes and contradictions have lead to where we are which can be really neat.
There is probably some disagreement over what is fascist, what’s not, blah blah. But it’s really not as simple as “what I don’t like is fascism”.
I am on hexbear because I like the memes. I consider myself a centrist, but I do agree with their general stance of a revolution that leads to the abolition of private property, there should be a dictatorship of the proletariat, and the complete dedication to elevating our marginalized comrades. I just try not to get political there, and it’s fine really.
I know Hexbear skews very, very liberal. I haven’t spent much time in other lemmy places.
Surely it’s a bit, LMAO. How is that something that could even be witnessed? Where is the open air empt water bottle market even located? :data-laughing:
Yeah, that’s Bingo. Younger sister to the titular Bluey. She’s my daughter’s favorite.
Thanks for this. I have been meaning to call them. I know they do stuff like this.
