My big worry is actually just people using natives and non invasives.
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 70ยฐ
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.
Is there a Homestar Lemmy? I'm missing this in my life.
Some people are squirrel handed! Gregor is a weird name.
This is quoted in my house A LOT
I know there's a place that composts human remains and that's pretty cool!
Funny how this works but yet I got diagnosed as an adult THEN my brother got diagnosed haha. We do everything backwards.
Good tips!
Yeah I think if I just start looking up natives and identifying them that could make for a fun hobby too as well as collecting seeds.
Ooohhh this sounds lovely
I work for a private company so I work in a lot of different cities. But I started off with utility locating and found my way here from getting to know people.
Beautiful!
