Yeah I think if I just start looking up natives and identifying them that could make for a fun hobby too as well as collecting seeds.

I work for a private company so I work in a lot of different cities. But I started off with utility locating and found my way here from getting to know people.

Lmao that's a good one

Lol yes I told my doc I tried Adderall in high school with a friend and we were both like wow I feel so focused. She then later got diagnosed and I was like yeah, she told me I should get checked out. Turns out there's a reason I felt focused lol.

TIL I hang out with just enough youngins to read this and be like "they like your outfit." It's gotta be the early 20s kids at work that I've caught onto what they're saying lol.

I've thoroughly enjoyed Bitwarden. Their free version meets my needs but I pay for the paid because I think it's great.

Oh no! Last time I got that it was because I was wearing crappy work boots. I hope your feet feel better ASAP!

I saw so many that I went and got checked and I was initiated into the club lmao

I tried one of those "for ADHD" aps tiimo I think it was. It was great for about 3 days because it was new and exciting and the I just never used it again.

I use calendars for birthdays and for the people I need to gift I set up reminders to buy or send gifts that way. Anything I need to do goes in the calendar too or I'll forget about it.

Not so much an app but smart home stuff has been a game changer. I just setup my washer and dryer on a smart plug so I get notifications when my laundry is done. At some point I'll give myself reminders I haven't done anything with it too lmao. I also have lights turn on and off at certain times, doors auto lock after 2 minutes, I'm changing out my bathroom fans soon for humidity sensors, and I'm sure I'll come up with more.

Ohh app stuff. Scheduling text messages! Sometimes I forget people exist so when I remember I'll schedule a text or two for a few days later to keep a conversation going or start a new one so they're not always the one to text first.

Pleasant Forever Habitat Seed Store (www.pfhabitatstore.com)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by greatwhitebuffalo41 to c/nolawns
 

Just sharing this link since everyone always loves American meadows so much. The only issue I take with them is they sell seed packs that are "native to your area" and some are not.

One of our Reddit mods has said he's had great luck with Pheasant Forever as a US based option who focuses on natives for habitat restoration.

I've never used them personally but I wanted to drop it as a link since I had never heard of them before.

Mead (self.homebrewing)
 

How many of you make mead? I made my last small batch for Thanksgiving and I've just gotten caught up with life and other hobbies and forgot it existed until I saw this community.

 

TLDR; killing off native species as well as their food supply and habitats.

 

Let's see if I can get all this link formatting down haha.

We are not the Reddit TwoXChromosomes but we did see that they did not exist here and all the search results happened to be users looking for it so here it is! If anyone from the Reddit 2x wants to mod, inbox me on reddit or lemmy, same username.

 

Let's see if I can get all this link formatting down haha.

No lawns has over 150k subs on Reddit and we're currently participating in the reddit protest (and will be depending on how our poll goes). I found slrpnk.net and wanted to bring another bit of No Lawns over to lemmy.

Our main goal is to promote native plants over non natives, create a healthier yard for everyone, and enjoy some pretty flowers.

 

I am currently a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. I have also authored the New York Times best seller Nature’s Best Hope and I have authored and co-authored additional books such as Bringing Nature Hope, The Living Landscape, and The Nature of Oaks. In addition, I have authored over 100 research publications in my field.

I have also founded Home Grown National Park which is a grass roots whos mission is: "To regenerate biodiversity and ecosystem function because every human being on this planet needs diverse highly productive ecosystems to survive."

Here is the link to our website with the copy and paste of the AMA and here is the link to the original Reddit AMA.

Hey all, updated the sidebar description with some links :) I tried to copy the reddit wiki as best I could to a free website so if there's any issues (or continuing the protests) with reddit we still have the information.

Edit: Updated sub icon both here and reddit

Why No Lawns? (self.nolawns)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by greatwhitebuffalo41 to c/nolawns
 

Well why would I want a boring grass mono culture yard?

This is basically how no lawns started. Over on Reddit just over 5 years ago I started no lawns after having a fun conversation with u/suuperdad about changing the boring grass lawn into some thing more native and better for the environment. On a whim I created a subreddit for it and we started with a hand full of people and now we're pretty good sized!

With the reddit blackout on, we realized this community needed to be bigger than Reddit. We already started a discord and we have an Instagram (although I'm terrible at updating it) we wanted to reach even more spaces.

I found slrpnk on accident but, it seemed to really fit with our theme and here we are!

We're anti monoculture, pro natives plants and we love a non traditional yard.

 

Just as the title asks, what's your dream yard if money and time weren't a concern? Would you have a pond, a prairie, a forest, a food forest or something else?

This will become the official NoLawns Lemmy. I just have not uploaded the banner and such due to work. I'll be redirecting the Lemmy reddit link in the wiki to here.
