It was nothing fancy. Just some red clover over seeded in the fall. We put some lime down the year before. We lightly fertilize with less than recommended (I would rather have too little than run off). I never water my lawn. A precious resource such as water is saved for the produce gardens.

We got a short red clover seed that we were told would be better than grass. I do not believe it is native.

Depends on the amount of shade too. Any area getting full sun will have young grass scorched by midsummer.

Objectively speaking, creating an eCommerce store with no SEO is asking for bad times.

I’ve had my best success choosing a part of my yard and letting it grow wild. Then watch and see what pops up on its own. Pick your favorite volunteers and propagate those.

That is absolutely not true, you can plan grass next week and it’ll have established enough roots by peak summer to survive. Do you have to spring seed? No. Can you? Yes.

The Westham gauge was at 10.68 feet at 9am. Be safe and admire the river from afar today.

That makes sense. Fingers crossed. After the 81° degree forecast for Thursday 😳 looks like the temps fall again by the weekend.

They asked about Shopify, not square space... Shopify has a CMS and you can choose many different themes or do custom.

It’s the truth though, No small business needs some crazy custom hard to maintain web site when square space exists and is literally drag and drop.

Seriously just go pay square space. “Making web pages” isn’t a thing anymore.

Reply to Mint Mobile issues in RVA? by salawm
I had some issues this past year with not being able to receive texts. A reboot fixed it, so I'm pretty sure it was the phone, not the network. Other than that, service actually seems to have improved in the past 2 years.

Reply to comment by STREAMOFCONSCIOUSN3S in What is the deal with the concierge medical care concept out here? by smtcpa1
The rich do have better healthcare- but as an ex-RVAer now living in Australia with socialised healthcare, socialised healthcare really evens it out.
This concierge shit is bullshit. Your insurances are letting you, and the doctors, down bigtime. So much money being wasted just for very standard healthcare. A lot of people in OP's situation would stop seeing a PCP & just go to a doctor when they're really sick. (which is a terrible choice because an ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure.)
Socialised healthcare makes everyone's lives easier.

I'm sowing clover seed now. Once every few weeks in early winter, right after rainfall. White clover and ladino clover. Ladino is supposedly good for shadier areas. Had great success the last 2 years.

Red and white Dutch clover is “naturalized”. There are 3 native clover to the area and they are kind of rare. (Don’t quote me, I’m semi drunk and going off memory, not a botanist). No grass that people plant in their lawns is native, and it is all very taxing on the soil. There are native grasses but lawns are not how they live in the wild. Clover>grass

Plant clover!!! Bees like it, ya don’t have to mow it, fertilizes your lawn naturally, stays green all year, grass sucks anyway. Rough up soil slightly and spread the seed before a rain. Water until it establishes. Over seed if needed. Forget about it forever.
