Making the news today....

[peds]

Regarding insect apocalypse:

 

 

I'm doing my bit. There's a few thousand dandelion seeds just been mixed into the top layer of compost of the trays for around 6000 bedding plants.

You should have said you wanted dandelions - I've got hundreds in the garden to dig out this year

Why on earth would you want to do that? Great plant for any location. Pack enough of them into one spot and they work as great ground cover to keep the weeds down.

You'd better read the post above, it explains how I saw the conversation. An opinion.

 

You'd better also read the post above where I explained that your 'liar' term stems from you not understanding a post where I expressed an opinion you disagreed with. If you think I have told a lie, let me know and also consider whether what I said was an opinion or a lie. I have no clue what you are talking about you see.

 

So back to the topic of the thread, making the news today and green issues, whether they are important. Do try to keep it on track without the ineffective insults, be a good chap.

You lied and were called out 

Anyone reading the covid thread is aware of it. They were accusations of me being prepared to sacrifice the elderly, saying hospital stats were a hoax or a hologram, that it was a conspiracy to gain control and a multitude of others, you made the accusations and claims repeatedly until I asked you to prove it, now apparently you claim it was an opinion. I’ve posted enough evidence to prove what you accused me of and that you lied repeatedly it’s as simple as that. 
Maybe it’s yourself who needs to look up what is considered lying. Like the other forum member said put up or shut up, you have then and continue now in embarrassing yourself.

You'd better go to that thread then to continue that conversation there then, quote me.

 

Back to the 'making news today' and not 'repeating something that happened years ago' thread then....

Front lawn is for show you see, back garden has all sorts growing in it quite happily. I don't think I've ever applied a weed killer on either. But every now and then, showing off time.

I mean, the question still stands. Lawns are greatly improved by the addition of daisies and dandelions. Why bother your arse?

I like a nice lawn free of weeds.

Plenty of room for dandelions and stuff elsewhere.

[peds]

Yeah, except that, taking into account the whole insect apocalypse thing... there really isn't plenty of room elsewhere. The amount of land wasted globally by lawns, and both the carbon and ecological footprints required for their upkeep, is immense.

 

Swap your lawn for a wildflower meadow, or at the very least: allow the wildflowers that also enjoy your lawn to grow there, and enjoy the best of both worlds.

I have 3 hectares of grassland behind my garden that hasn’t seen any chemicals in decades.

I have the best of both worlds.
