I’d recommend NOT planting too close to walls. Plants will grow and spread, and could potentially cling to walls causing an ongoing maintenance issue. Roots could also be an issue as they grow. Small plants look nice initially, but can be a menace in the end. Here’s looking at you Buddliah!!! I wouldn’t plant grass that close to the house walls, difficult to keep tidy.
I like the stone/gravel surround idea. Where we are there are suppliers who have a big range of different coloured/shape/size stones.
I guess it’s often about ease of use. so If it needs thought, then a lot will walk away and not bother. That in itself does imply capability, which I suspect in this day of everything needing to be equal, might cause some issues for some.
I’d suspect that most here, have some good technical ability, so it might be a hassle to get organised, but we’ll sort it.
The relaxed and friendly atmosphere here is wonderful, long may it continue.
The one major thing I’ve seen is the people using it are MUCH nicer than in "the other place", someone asks a question here, there’s many replies.
For me the environment is a little complex, too many options, but that in itself maybe what is keeping it nice, users need some idea about what they are doing and how they use it.
Have tried all the IOS apps, each has a specific advantage, but not all in one app.
I guess this is very early days for the bulk of Lemmy instances/apps etc. and it’ll take time to evolve.
Got a DJ pal in the UK who live streams on Mixcloud and who’s on right now, so currently listening loud to cool techno, electronic vibes with our breakfast!!
Morena all. Had an awful nights sleep. Been taking corticosteroids for a serious infection, and while calming the infection, they cause me weird, intense, and last night horrific, dreams side effects.
Have now finished the meds, so hopefully tonight will be calmer.
If timed repeated posts were made from a mod’s account like yours ha, ha, would that be detected as a bot posting? I know a bot will be creating the post, but what would make it look like a bot posting rather than a manual post?
Understand your engagement comment. I see the Daily as a collection of various topics all encased in a single post, but yes, if someone has bots blocked, it’s not an ideal solution.
Another useful thing would be to have timed automated repeat posting for the Daily. I think that automation can be limited to Mods only access to prevent spamming.
My turn to post the Daily. Bit of a struggle posting the daily using the IOS apps, wouldn’t let me copy/edit yesterdays daily post so ended up via a browser with no issues.
Hope all is well where you are, and you’ve got lots of happy things going on today.
The current flu/cold type of infections are so varied, and the severity ranges from being just a nuisance to a severe malaise, it’s no wonder so many are feeling poorly.
Well done for doing the study, all the info they can get will help others.
Got arborists in today cutting back tree overgrowth on the driveway and removing smaller stuff that is rapidly taking over. These last 2 wet years have really caused a lot of excessive growth.
The only thing I don’t like so much is it doesn’t change the post title font color on the feed after I’ve read it. Memmy does that making it easy to see what I’ve alreeady viewed.
So does the wife want YOU to clean the house?
