I've lived in this house for about 5 years now and I am only just now getting around to formally doing the flower beds. In my defense, I think I was only just recently hit with the gardening bug... Probably something hormonal as I'm aging LOL But I would like to convert our old crusty dusty rock beds into living, breathing members of the local ecosystem. I struck a deal with my lawn-lovin' father, who I co-own this house with, that if I can have full control over the flower beds and plant whatever I want there, I'll stop bugging him about how much lawns are ugly money sinks and don't contribute ecologically to anything... and I'd reluctantly help him care for it. He agreed and now I am hyped to get started, but it's going to be an uphill battle from the get go. Ya see, the previous owners laid down a bunch of landscaping fabric and put crushed rocks in all of the beds to make a rock garden. I hate rock gardens. Almost as useless ecologically as lawns except maybe bugs could hide there easier, I don't really know and I don't really care, I just want the rocks and the fabric gone. The rocks I plan to offer for free curbside, after using it to fill out some of the empty spots near where we store our tools and trash cans. I don't plan to do anything there, so I figured I'd give it some tlc and then spread out some fresh rocks to make it look decent again and then get rid of the excess. Once I break out our old broken screen door and put it on top of a lowes bucket and sift all of the rocks out of the bed, and pull up all of the landscaping fabric, what are my next steps to make it into a viable pollinator buffet? I've got a few free seeds from a co-op that may not be native, but are definitely not invasive. I'm thinking I'll need to condition the soil so that it is more suitable to growing stuff in, but I won't know until I get down in there. Fortunately, it's already lined with bricks that are actually quite nice, so I'll have no problem incorporating them into my designs. I really want to do a good job and eventually get my yard to be a certified wildlife habitat, but I know that's some ways away. ~ Some key details: I live in RI, in zone 7a. I have a bed that is roughly 50sqft on the west-facing side of my house. Full sun only, there is nothing protecting this bed from the harsh summer sun. I've another bed that is about 30sqft that is north-facing and gets some evening sun, so I'd call it partial-sun. North-west corner of my property is a mature black oak tree that has a brick ring that I would like to dispose of and would like to convert about 1ft-1ft6in around it to flowers as well. North-west corner of the house itself, I have two arbor vitaes that are kind of ugly and wouldn't mind getting rid of, but they're not my top priority at the moment so they can stay, but I think it bears mentioning that the 50sqft bed and 30sqft bed are joined here and that's where my hose attachment and the electric meter is for the house, so I need to tone down the fun in that corner for utilitarian purposes. In my backyard, I have one bed that would be a lot more work to convert, but could be worth it. It is east-facing and gets very little sun, but it's an ugly disaster zone right now because my dog found a mouse there one time and it's been 3 years and he still digs in that same spot hoping to find another mouse. I don't want to accidentally find mice, so I am toying with the idea of cleaning this rock bed up, but leaving it as a rock bed, at least while my dog is alive. The south-facing side of my house has a young tree, I believe it is a young red maple although I am not too sure. I've also got some lilies of the valley there and it's where my dog goes to the bathroom, so I've little interest in doing anything there for the time being. It's on the back burner. The plants I picked up at the library are: Morning Glory - Heavenly Blue Morning Glory - Grandpa Ott Morning Glory - Scarlett O'Hara Convolvulus - Blue Enchantment Rudbeckia - Goldsturm Zinnia - Envy I know this was a lot of details, probably a lot of unnecessarily yapping, but as you can tell I am quite excited... I have a hard time finding any information online about converting rock bed into flower beds because most people want to opposite apparently -_- Makes me really sad :( submitted by /u/_OhiChicken_ to r/gardening [link] [comments]

Ground and polished a piece of British Colombia Jade. It took around 70 hours to complete. I keep it outside the front door in a small rock garden. I live in Vancouver Canada. The rough piece was posted on Marketplace a four hour drive away. The shape looked interesting. It was a river rock so I knew it would be stable and take a polish as it had survived the glaciers and erosion. It had a 1/2 thick rind on it from weathering that needed to be ground away. The seller was doing demolition work on an old house and salvaged it . This was topping a driveway post. Although there are some nice areas in it, It is landscaping quality jade. Not really worth the expense to cut it up. I first polished at test area to get an idea of color,,translucense and stability. It has nice color variation and interesting "fracture" lines. That is a Makita counter top polisher. I started with a sintered 30 grit diamond grinding disc. Then 50 and 100 pads to set the final shape and remove grinding marks. Followed by 200, 400, 800, 1200, 3000, 6000, and finally 10000 grit pads. I did a small area with chrome oxide and leather but the minimal difference wasn't worth the expense as it lives outside. It glows fairly well at 10000 grit. submitted by /u/leftcoast987 to r/MineralPorn [link] [comments]

Hate to make another post on this but I’ve done a lot of reading and troubleshooting but just can get it working. Every day, same thing. Weeds on the top two spots and three empty on the bottom. I learned that I need to make two non-rock friendly spots on another part of the island to get the 2 weeds to move but why don’t I at least get rocks on the bottom here? They’re all three 3x3 open area with a spot in the middle for the rock and every single tile of my island is covered with something or a pattern. So why would only the first rock spawn here and no more? I e spent quite some time looking around to find if rocks ended elsewhere but I can’t. Ideas? submitted by /u/drewthetrickguy to r/AnimalCrossing [link] [comments]

Tiny lot. 12 1/2’ from the foundation to the alley; 45’ long. 1st 2 images are the actual lot, last 2 images are ideas to keep cars off it. Fence obviously goes. Not loyal to the dwarf spruce. I’ll try to trim it proper. If it doesn’t turn out, it goes. Thoughts? submitted by /u/NicelyBearded to r/landscaping [link] [comments]
