Reply to Where to live for work in Whippany? by Fubb1

As others have pointed out, Madison is a great town, and it's 5 minutes from Morristown, which is a happening place, with lots of bars, restaurants, and MPAC (Mayo Performing Arts Center).

Lime some other folks who've already posted, we've used NJM for YEARS. their staff have been easy to reach and easy to work with. Claims have been handled quickly and well. I recommend them without hesitation.

Reply to Question about Thrift Shops by Chemical_Gur7314

Call AMVETS and they will come to your house and pick up bags or boxes right off your front porch, you don't even need to be home. They will sort and sell the items at a "Red White and Blue thrift store and use the profits for helping out veterans.

A lot of schools have big donation bins outside of them that you can drop off at. The companies that take the clothes will pay the school, or organization identified on the bin a small amount of money based on the weight of the items in the bin. I know schools that have them to raise funds for the marching band, performing arts, and some sports boosters. Unfortunately, some of those bins fill up and nobody comes around to pick up so stuff sits out, which it shouldn't, or you cannot donate until it gets emptied.

Good Will is OK, but it isn't all that charitable. They use money from their sales to pay their employees and train them to get jobs in other retail stores. A lot of their profits go to the founder/ CEO and executives' salaries, while the store workers make minimal salaries. So they get a bit less of my donations, but they still get some because I can drop off pretty much any time I want.

Reply to comment by rexmons in Does anyone have a microclover lawn? by thrwawy5599

Eventually the microclover will spread out and cover your entire yard especially in shade areas, you might want to plant some strawberries for borders instead of having to use a weedwaker,if you pinch the first flowers they will flower again about a month or so later and the fruit 🍓 will be a lot sweeter

>Crowds out weeds

Define weeds. Do you mean noxious invasive plants or are you referring to dandelions and such just trying to do their job?

Keep in mind some people refer to clover as a weed since it fell out of favor because of bee allergies. It used to be standard in turf mixes. So if you don't want people giving you crap for having a weed infested lawn this is not the way. The only way to please those people is to have a singular type of grass growing from edge to edge, no flowers just blades of grass.

Micro clover is fine, but from my experience it will eventually just become clover. My parents lawn was mostly clover and there wasn't a ton of reseeding needed with kids and dogs running all over it.

Check out /r/nolawns they might be a bit more helpful
