Some dog has probably peed on that.

[-] MECHAGIC@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

Why would you remind me of this

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

Probably doesn't matter that much to you, as a cockroach πŸͺ³

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 17 points 8 months ago

I peed on it. I am not a dog.

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 8 months ago

This is why I only touch my computer keyboard, which only I have peed on

i love grass 🌿🌿

[-] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 15 points 8 months ago

Wrong. Grass is bad. Native ground cover is better. Less water and trimming,

[-] skylestia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

i honestly don't know the difference and can't banter with u about it lol

i was talking about weed

Weed is natural groundcover in some places, but it's probably not very potent when it grows like that

[-] skylestia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 months ago

is it like natural ground cover is the foliage that naturally grows in a place and then grass is like stuff we plant in yards for aesthetics?

if it is potent when it grows like that i would love to move to a place where it grows naturally πŸ‘‰πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘‰

Well, it's a bit of a mistake to say that grass isn't natural groundcover. I live on a prairie where much of the groundcover is composed of grasses, but the distinction between a lawn and a natural groundcover is that what we think of as "a lawn" or "the grass" are varieties that are sold commercially, that often require additional water and fertilizer. You'll find different types of these grasses sold in different parts of the world due to different climates.

if it is potent when it grows like that i would love to move to a place where it grows naturally

No, it's not potent when it grows like that lol. I used to work in the bean fields a long time ago, and it was literally considered a weed that we would chop or pull when we were working in the fields. I tried it once out of curiosity, and there was no effect at all. Actually, that could have been hemp now that I think about it, but my understanding is that growing weed takes a lot of specialized care to get it to provide the effect that it does. I have a friend who grows, and he's got like an entire lab set up in his house and has to trim, fertilize, etc. to produce the type of nice weed we all enjoy.

[-] skylestia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

ohh i think i get it - natural ground cover is better

your friend sounds awesome lol, it sucks it's not potent growing wild, i actually only tried weed for the first time a few months ago, my first thought was growing it myself (cuz weed is expensive) but the most i've looked into was to see that growing it has a lot of dumb legal regulations, and it would probably not be easy to grow it where i currently live without being caught eventually (would totally do it if my apartment were bigger tho)

Yeah growing it is actually pretty expensive because you typically can't just place it in a window or something, so you need grow lights, a way to keep it hydrated, and a huge time investment to care for it. My husband looked into it, and in my state you need to basically grow it in a separately locked room.

[-] skylestia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

luckily the time investment isn't really an issue for me atm, i'm agoraphobic and a stay-at-home partner, i have a lot of time on my hands and i've always wanted a garden! lol

do you know if it's still expensive after the initial purchases of the lights and stuff? cuz other than space issues atm that would be my biggest limitation. since i'm agoraphobic i don't really get out much and my personal income is usually really limited, and my bf works regularly but he's not exactly wealthy lol. and same, in my state it can't be in view of public and you can't grow it if you live within 25 miles of a dispensary (which we do). i wouldn't really care about the regulations if i had space/money for it, though. my rule of thumb with stuff like this is that it's only illegal if i get caught! lol (for legal reasons this is a joke)

My understanding from my friend is that most of the expenses after the initial setup are from the increased electric bill, but I think it's not as bad as it used to be since LED grow lights have become more common.

[-] skylestia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

We want to move asap (for unrelated reasons), will keep it mind, thanks! :)

im totally gonna grow my own weed one day

Best wishes to you! I hope it goes well (both the weed and the move)

[-] skylestia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Wish you the best too! 🩷

[-] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Look into "space buckets". There are guides in the old place and likely elsewhere on the web.

Space efficient homegrowing :)

[-] skylestia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

thanks, i had never heard of that but found a buncha info really quickly by just searching for space buckets!

including guides specifically for growing weed in them lol

thanks!

[-] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Happy to help. Good luck!

[-] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 2 points 8 months ago

Follow the way of the grassy planes indigenous americans and torch that ground. Smoke a whole field.

[-] skylestia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

let's hotbox the whole earth lol

[-] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Counterpoint: there are native grasses.

[-] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 4 points 8 months ago

Just not the ones we use for lawns in the USA.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 8 months ago

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

[-] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago
