Help us European Union, you’re our only hope.

With PC sales?

To add to that you also have the people living there rather split on which country they would like to be part of

Yes, I have loads gay sex with his wife.

They don’t need to worry about shareholders demanding maximum profit. They are still going to be looking to profit but they can do things for purposes beyond just extracting as much as possible in the short term.

Data protection only covers the living IIRC.

Nice that steam tells you so you don’t have to waste the bandwidth before refunding it.

They already have products that don’t cost that much though. Do wish their website was better listed to compare specs of their SBCs though.

Can’t find NVC info for my area, found maps for other counties and Scotland but not here. Quite a few other maps list mine as unsurveyed too. This one actually specifies it as unsurveyed/urban which could be part of the reason it doesn’t show up in various maps.

Topsoil carbon stock - low, given that the garden was under concrete for a long time I would assume it is even lower than the surrounding area is too. Although by mixing in compost I expect that could be improved eventually. Hopefully the meadow grass will have improved it a bit too, it has been there for a year now and should grow deeper roots than lawn grass.

Soil layer deep, found a few maps saying sandy loam which I presume is for the topsoil because deeper down it seems much heavier. Parent soil river loam.

I do have water butts, but the combined 300L doesn’t last very long for anything more than some pots and we usually get extended drought over summer so for the summer just gone I tried to mainly focus on keeping them going. I do have shrubs (rosemary, thyme, sage, bay trees) down the sides which overall I am more keen on keeping alive than the grass in the middle so I gave them a bit every few weeks without rain but it rapidly uses up water. They are doing perfectly fine which is good, though the bay is still small as they were planted from cuttings and it was freshly planted last year and I watered them a bit more because of that.

I have seen clover growing on the side of roads within a few miles of my house, so I do expect its happy in my region and it probably just struggled to thrive when starting the garden. So growing in pots to get a few clumps established is something I may try in spring and then hope it can spread on its own from there if it has had a better starting point. Common daisy and creeping buttercups are others I am thinking of.

Not sure how useful average rainfall stats are any more, every year seems to be the wettest winter and driest summer on record. Hopefully as life returns to my garden over time it should improve a bit though. Have been contemplating a large underground rain tank but they cost quite a bit.

2 and 3 are the same thing. 1 isn’t something I care about too much.

Why would you donate to pine64? They are selling things, just buy their stuff. Its like a donation but you get stuff out of it too!

Donny the throat goat and his big beautiful bill

South coast UK. We get drought in summer and then the rest of the year is pretty wet. Even the inside of our houses can struggle with damp in winter. I

Nothing has grown in the soil here for decades, house was built before the war but not sure when the concrete was put down. At least decades given the condition of it. Wonder about trying other wildflowers too but don’t really want to risk buying seeds that end up not doing anything. Other than clover, buttercups and daisies are fairly common here.

Perhaps growing them in small pots first to get them started and make a small number of seeds go further? Plant them in the ground once they have got a bit of a root system going and hope they spread over time.

Well it should be healthier than when I moved in as it has now been free of concrete for a little over a year. But the open space in the middle currently only really has grass growing in it, only a very small amount of clover seemed to have grown. The areas that do have clover growing are the bits that are still green while the rest of it has bits of grass going a little yellow.

Not 100% sure, but it looks like it probably dried out too much over summer for the clover to survive. In the more shaded patches the grass is nice and green and there is usually more clover to be seen. Or around edges, which seemed to dry out a bit less over summer. UK for any context if that helps. Its been soaking wet for a few months now so at least the grass grew back.

They are invasive

Got a few growing in my front garden, just cut the sections of thorns from time to time. Dunno what else to do with such a tiny garden really. Nature does its thing there.

Some of us live in countries that have native blackberries.

Had a squirrel in my garden earlier today. Invasive bastard…

Could do with encouraging more wildflowers in the open area of my garden that has kinda become a lawn. I put down a meadow grass seed mix and clover. Not sure if much clover really grew though. Ground had been under concrete for decades that I removed after buying the house.

Daisies and dandelions seem like good choices to try and grow there, add some colour and they can usually manage being trimmed shortish too. Don’t have a lawnmower but my partner complains if I don’t strim it a few times a year. Tbh the pathway probably needs it now but leaving the rest over winter.

Don’t judge.

Yeah, plus a one off is kinda sus. Need to repeat it so he knows.
