If its its a loads of docks and nettles it etc means nitrogen is high and is often down to human input somehow even so though they are still a good habit for the insects nature etc. Wild flower meadows need cutting once a yr and the hay removed to reduce soil fertility which helps favour the flowers over grass to maintain them in some kind of statsis, . Uncut will gradually turn into coarse tussocky grass then bramble/ scrub thicket etc . Having yellow rattle also helps as is parasites the grass.

  5. Mexican peasants had the right idea in cowboy films all white cloths huge Sombreros 😄
  6. It is not dead but, better remove the tree imo, as the brown section but won't regrow so will always look ugly.
  7. Yeah workers village looks more prison gulag than "cyberpunk" which seems the look they are aiming for Neom if it ever gets finished seems MBS is a big sci-fi fan.

  11. Are batteries really that dangerous to fiddle with? Short circuit could happen somehow if internal parts come loose damaged / bridged by something conductive? Also suppose water isn't any good for battery fires as lithuim burns in water.
  12. What type of wood is that greenhouse frame raised beds etc all locally milled stuff etc or stuff from builders merchant? Saw a really nice similar one that was made from larch and vistalux sheets .

Also have a few tonnes of hardcore and some drainage pipe under the ground below the "lawn" area i split so doesn't get muddy etc Don't bother with using grenades hammers wedges etc, if the maul won't spilt it just put in to one side then "noodle" it with chainsaw its alot quicker & less hassle imo. For kindling I made on of theese:
