Lol interesting way to walk this one off
Watching that video is the equivalent of those toilet cleaning videos, where they just dump a bunch of different cleaners into the bowl for no reason other than for likes and clicks.

Correct. Upfront cost may be more. But on a per application nearly all of the herbicides you mix yourself are cheaper than the big box sprays and weed/feeds.
Some kind of combination of value based loan restrictions (i.e. restricting funds for poor performing colleges/universities or restricting funds for degrees with poor payback), along with possible caps for said degrees/colleges would help greatly.

Everyone should have an opportunity to have education and advance themselves especially from poor or middle class families. However, you shouldn't have free range to go 200k in debt for an art degree to go work at Starbucks and expect the govt to pay it off because oops.

Some may say that the above is picking winners and losers. But the general populace is stupid, so Some direction into careers that are either nationally needed or have higher success rates is warranted if taxpayers are backing it.

You want to pursue something riskier, then get an education on your on dime or private backed loan if you can find someone dumb enough to loan it to you.

re: Ground cover under oak trees

Not sure about the wet soil part.

But I planted a few cast irons near the oak tree and then further out a lot of dwarf mondo plants. I'm going to see how it starts to fill in this year, but may add some more next fall to help it fill in faster.

The helicopter noise should have been another context clue for her that she was dealing the police.

This is a very narrow market truck. You cannot expect people that want a full-sized pickup to respond with "oh hell yes I would absolutely stick my dick into the outlet of that truck."


Almost every OT thread involving trucks ends up going -
Trucks are ridiculously expensive. Automakers would making a killing if they made X small pick up truck - insert pic of 90s ford ranger, toyota .

And then some thread gets posted about a small pick up truck that some company is developing and the OT reams the truck and says I'll never drive that little POS.

Rinse, repeat.

I love the way river birches look but they do drop a ton of branches. I had to cut two down after about 15 years due to some kind of fungal disease. My neighbor had the same problem and eventually cut all four of hers down at the same time, they were about the same age as mine.


Yeah, it's not my favorite tree, and I have two in my backyard. But since the question was what grows tall, fast, and shady, it's an option, which is the only reason I suggested it. . Definitely better trees out there.
River birch grows fast, tall, and the limbs can spread far for good shade.

With that said, it constantly spits branches everywhere that you'll have to pick up. Otherwise, decent tree.
Probably more than you expect.

I cycled the tv and choices for sports was basically either college baseball, g league playoff, or Wnba.

Mlb is so terrible in trying to get viewership. Has to open up a different streaming app just to watch something.

I did overseed in the fall. While ghe kbg is self repairing, I probably will continue to overseed every fall to help fill in areas faster that die off in the summer.

I guess I could just do rye every fall, but honestly it's about the same price and a fair bit of the grass does survive the summer so it's not like I don't have any grass during the summer, it's definitely just thinner.

Other than st aug and maybe a shade tolerant zoysia, I don't think I'd have a lot of success with any warm season grass in my backyard. So ill keep doing this because it's looks good 6 months or so of the year.

At least it always looks pretty decent in the springtime.

Didn't do anything to it this year. Sprayed for a few few weeds.
Obligatory book is better.

I like them both, but felt that 2 was the better watch.
Alright frick it. Ill just accept lsu being terrible. Or at the very least I won't be donating to these shenanigans. What a joke for "amateur" athletics.
Virginia creeper sucks. I mostly hand pull those and the round up in the landscape beds. Everything else just tends to stun it but not kill it.

Never too late. Just may not catch everything that has already started to germinate.
Damn whose the ucla fan down voting every post?

2-3 years.
