  • it’s now basically a piece of hard, dry brick that won’t suck up any water.

    This is our Midwestern valley clay soil yeah. Basically, high water followed by dry without a lot of organic, decomposing matter to amend it. Strips the soil of nutrients and turns it to hard clay. Then it rains more and it turns into the stickiest mud you will ever see. Then back to hard ass clay a day or two later. This is why I hate all the boomer ass lawns out here. The soil is garbage because this area used to be a natural swamp. Cut down all the trees and natural vegetation and the soil just gets sapped by the rain and turns to clay. It’s the same as what happens when they strip the rainforest. I mean hell, a swamp is basically a colder climate rainforest.

    I have started collecting leaves from our yard and mulching them and expanding my garden bit by bit. My boomer dad used to just blow them all down to the edge of some woods we have. Because heaven forbid we just mow them up and let it go back into the lawn. Heaven forbid the lawn not be just a big green useless field.

    The soil in my garden is amazing now because of doing this. Soil holds moisture way better. Fuck lawns. Lol


  • My area is practically the opposite. We are getting so much rain we can barely get anything done. It’s nice to not have to water the garden I guess but the garden can’t grow if the damn sun doesn’t come out. Hell, I couldn’t plant anything for weeks cause it was TOO wet. I ordered almost a dozen trees to put up in our yard, cause fuck huge lawns, and they got here and I couldn’t even plant them for a week because it just would not. stop. raining.

    And what’s maddening is I KNOW why. So I don’t really say much about it, but I hear other people complain about the weather like, it’s the weathers fault, or a stroke of bad luck, when we ALL FUCKING KNOW WHY. It’s just everyone’s so fucking scared of accepting the reality of it or even acknowledging it out of fear some dumb fuck right winger will start screaming about how climate change is fake or some stupid shit.





  • Threads like this make it really obvious as to why the right wing has so much success pulling men in, when the left criticizes all of them for wanting to just be fit. It’s pretty well known this mentality is due to right wing propaganda yet here is another thread of “all men that go to gyms are just dumb assholes.” Again we devolve into attacking the people instead of the system that causes this. Let’s not do anything to build up a healthy masculinity on the left. Let’s just berate them and drive them further to the right. It’s hilarious how easy we make the rights job for them.

    Leftists: “Why gym bros driven to the right?”

    Also leftists: “Hey let’s have another entire thread calling men stupid, vanity driven, sexist assholes for stepping foot near a gym.”
