A vegetable garden in a PIPE?! 😳 Three times more harvest without garden beds
A simple pipe turns into a full-fledged garden. Inside is soil and nutrients, along with dozens of holes for plants. The secret lies in top-down watering. Water is pumped from the top and flows down, maintaining soil moisture. Less space, more harvest. People are growing herbs, strawberries, and vegetables even in small plots. The future of gardening is already here. submitted by /u/Mahden012 to r/PassportWithoutBorder [link] [comments]

Grass removal from neglect (vegetable garden)
I left my 15' x 21' vegetable garden uncovered since the fall harvest and it's currently overgrown with grass patches. I'm trying to determine the most efficient way to clear the garden before I start to plant (the week of mother's Day). I've read about putting cardboard and newspaper over the area but that's a lot of cardboard and I think that method takes months from what I'm reading? I don't know if specific "grass killer" sprays would work without poisoning the dirt for eventual vegetable planting. The opinion exists, though I'd rather avoid, to manually dig up ever clump of grass and discard it. I'm going for another, less manually intensive way, to do it. I don't have a truck to haul a sod cutter if I were to rent one and my car is quite small. Live in central ohio which is 6b I believe Edit: I also read about solarization (covering with a clear plastic sheet and sealing to basically cook the grass and weed seeds)? I don't know if my zone and the timeframe I'm looking at will permit that https://preview.redd.it/qkvgbv236zug1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b4063b3ef72b56f8e0bd77368626f207c82a820 https://preview.redd.it/icvudv236zug1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00f8bfce5eb1c69288657bc30479a399a42c2ab9 https://preview.redd.it/s4h6my236zug1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d013cc3e40342cef6d747f2317c5ea91ce79084 https://preview.redd.it/z78t2z236zug1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6951330332396d7af107987e5649341f756b46ae https://preview.redd.it/ucbmh1336zug1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f534e6894291629e30c57f4cba5d4d96b805b89f https://preview.redd.it/b9mxn1336zug1.jpg?width=1542&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4287fccb3082b89fa70019bd490af6085360cc43 https://preview.redd.it/h9pz11336zug1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56d0a2ce1203c9632ddfbb5c713087a0ce155475 submitted by /u/Dangly_Parts to r/gardening [link] [comments]

Mayor Zohran Mamdani will announce plans to open its first city owned grocery store in East Harlem.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani will announce on Sunday that New York City will open a city-owned grocery store in East Harlem in Manhattan by the end of his first term, taking an early step to deliver on a key campaign pledge. The mayor wants to spend roughly $30 million to build the store at La Marqueta, a city-owned marketplace under elevated train tracks in a predominantly Latino neighborhood. Mr. Mamdani will announce the plan at a speech on Sunday to mark his first 100 days as mayor. As a candidate, Mr. Mamdani said he would create five city-owned grocery stores, one in each borough, in hopes of bringing down food costs for struggling New Yorkers. A second store will open in an existing building in another borough by the end of next year, the mayor’s office said. His administration plans to open all five stores by the end of his term in 2029. Mr. Mamdani said in a statement that corporations control the food supply chain and that the city needed to offer a public option. “We cannot accept a status quo where even the most basic necessity — putting food on the table — feels out of reach,” he said. “This is about ensuring that every New Yorker, regardless of income or ZIP code, has access to fresh, healthy food at a price they can afford.” La Marqueta has for decades hosted vendors beneath the Metro-North Railroad tracks along Park Avenue. It once covered five city blocks and had many vendors. But it has struggled over the years and now has a smaller footprint and fewer shops, including a garden center and a vegan soul food shop. Mr. Mamdani said that he wanted the new grocery store to offer discounts on basic groceries and to provide “quality jobs.” The city will waive rent and real estate taxes for the store. It will be built on an empty lot and will not displace current vendors. East Harlem is a diverse community with high poverty rates. Elsie Encarnacion, the local City Council member, said she was excited about the store. “This means access to affordable, healthy food that is hopefully culturally relevant,” she said. The idea of city-run grocery stores has gained national attention as a way to reduce prices and to address so-called food deserts, where supermarkets are scarce. Atlanta opened its first municipal grocery store last year. Plans for a store in Chicago have stalled. Mr. Mamdani’s critics have warned that the stores could hurt private businesses, with one, John Catsimatidis, a Republican who owns two supermarket chains in the city, even arguing that they could lead to “bread lines of the old Soviet Union.” Others have questioned whether city-owned grocery stores could substantially bring down prices and whether five would be enough to make a dent in a city of more than eight million people. Mr. Mamdani is seeking to open the stores as the city is facing a major budget deficit. He proposed $70 million in capital funding to build the stores, which requires City Council approval. Julie Menin, the Council speaker, has expressed concerns about the impact of the plan on small businesses and bodegas. During the campaign, Mr. Mamdani said that five stores could cost about $60 million annually to operate. An estimate by food policy experts found that the cost could be at least $100 million per year using union labor rates. Stephen Zagor, an adjunct assistant professor at Columbia Business School who focuses on food businesses, said that grocery stores are difficult to run and have small profit margins. The stores will need financial support for years, like other government-backed services including Amtrak, he said. “It’s going to be a political football — there are going to be people who don’t want to subsidize it,” he said. Still, Mr. Zagor said that the stores could provide price stability and offer residents quality fruits and vegetables to address health concerns like obesity and diabetes. Liz Accles, the executive director of Community Food Advocates, a nonprofit that works to improve food access, said that the store was a “critical first step.” She hopes the city will eventually have a network of 20 city-owned stores. “New Yorkers across income categories are struggling with grocery prices,” she said. The city plans to choose an operator to run the store and will start the procurement process this summer. City officials have examined different models, including commissary grocery stores run by the Defense Department that offer lower prices to military members and veterans. The market in East Harlem first opened in 1936, when it operated under a different name and served as a gathering place for pushcart vendors. The city’s Economic Development Corporation runs the market and several others. Ms. Encarnacion said she believed the City Council would support the plan as part of its efforts to address affordability, noting that there were long lines across the city outside food pantries. “The lines are growing all over our district,” she said. “There’s still a stigma around those lines and a hesitancy to seek help when it’s so public.” submitted by /u/AlfredHampton88 to r/nyc [link] [comments]

Small Vegetable Gardens
I know there's been plenty of discussion in the past about how big to make veggie plots, what the optimal size is, etc. My question is, has anyone ever experimented with smaller plots? I've been thinking about the relative merits of the two approaches. Since planting cost scales with plot size, making large vegetable gardens can be a pretty significant upfront cost, while smaller gardens can get rolling sooner at the cost of reduced yield/efficiency. Another aspect of big plots is that it's very labour-intensive, limiting the kinds of work the families living there can do. This might be alleviated somewhat with smaller plots. So, I'm curious. Has anyone done some experimentation with this sort of thing? If so, what did you find? submitted by /u/Solell to r/ManorLords [link] [comments]

IBC water garden?
I can’t decide if this picture is AI, but it’s nonetheless my inspiration for small water feature I want to add to our yard/vegetable garden. My idea is to get two totes (already have a vendor for used, food grade), cut to make four containers which will all be connected to make a single closed loop. One tote will have the top 1/4 cut off; the bottom 3/4 will be used as the big one in the picture, mainly filled with water, maybe a few plants. The second tote will be cut in half and will be the middle two sections, filled with plants and maybe a few fish. The 1/4 that I cut off the first tote will be the lowest point in the system, again filled with plants. I’m thinking the whole thing can be on one pump, located in the lowest container which will pump water to the large one and it can gravity feed down from there. Has anyone tried something similar? Any massive holes in my theory? submitted by /u/kilintimeagain to r/gardening [link] [comments]

First vegetable garden (clay soil, rainy climate) – what should I do next?
Hello everyone, I’m in my thirties and I’m a professional chef. I’m starting a small vegetable garden in the ground, in western France, on a clay soil that is rich but often rainy. I’ve already prepared the soil, cleared the weeds, and turned it over, and now I’m looking for advice on the next steps. What should I plant at this time, late February, early March? I’m thinking about shrubs like raspberries, currants, and also perennial plants that last all year. I have a wall next to the garden, and I’m wondering how to hide it with climbing plants. As a chef, I have a lot of knowledge about fruits and vegetables, but I’d love your advice on the basics: where should I plant my herbs like thyme, tarragon, and also onions, shallots, garlic? I’m also passionate about less common veggies, like rutabaga or rhubarb, and I’m really interested in unique varieties. I plan to share the progress regularly with photos and videos, and I want this garden to be a participatory project. I’m really open to your ideas, I’ll consider them, but I’ll also check their feasibility. Thank you so much for your advice—I can’t wait to hear from you! submitted by /u/Sir_Theorem to r/garden [link] [comments]

Would gardeners be interested in renting small backyard plots from homeowners? (for people in apartments)
I live in a city and don’t have any yard space, but I’ve always wanted to grow vegetables. Community gardens near me have long waitlists. I was wondering — would something like this be useful: Homeowners with unused backyard space could rent a small section to someone nearby who wants to garden. The renter would do all the planting and care, just using the space. Does this already exist in some form? And from a gardener’s perspective, what problems would you see with this? submitted by /u/Old_Pay9347 to r/gardening [link] [comments]

HOA destroyed my rare succulent collection because I had “too many plants”
When I left Los Angeles after fifteen years of petty theft, grime, and constant noise, I thought I was finally finding peace. I rented a townhome in what seemed like a clean, safe neighborhood, perfect for my ten-year-old son and for working remotely. The kitchen was huge, the kind of place where I could finally spread out and cook again. Out front was a patio area where I could display my lifelong collection of succulents. I’m a botanist and plant collector, and some of those plants were over twenty years old. Brightly colored aloes and agaves, all in hand-thrown Italian clay pots. The HOA rules said we could have plants in front of the unit as long as they were alive and didn’t block anything, so I set them up with care. Neighbors often stopped to admire them or ask questions. For a while, everything felt right. Then came the first warning. The HOA fined me $50 because my ten-year-old son couldn’t lift a heavy trash bag into the bin. They said they had video evidence. That’s when I realized the entire place was under constant surveillance, cameras pointed everywhere, even catching him playing with a soccer ball outside. A few months later, I got an email saying I had too many plants. That was the violation. Too many. I replied with a full breakdown of the species, explaining that they barely used water compared to the fruit trees and vegetable planters other residents had. Two days later, I came home to find my collection hacked apart. Rare agaves and aloes that had taken decades to grow had been cut to pieces by a gardener the HOA sent without my consent. When I demanded an explanation, they said the gardener “misunderstood” directions, then tried to claim the space outside my door was community property. It wasn’t. It was the frontage of my rented unit, with no easement or sidewalk. I told them that if they ever touched my plants again, I’d take them to court and sent them an estimate for the damages. They went silent. Months later, when wildfire ash covered everything, I heard a familiar sound outside. The same gardener was back, blowing ash into the air with a leaf blower despite a city ban. I ran outside, told him to stop or I’d call the police. He turned it off right away, said he thought it was stupid too, but was told to do it. That was the last straw. I moved out. Now I live in a duplex where my landlord actually appreciates my collection and the water isn’t so full of chlorine that it hurts the plants. Update: Nov 16, I am sending a demand letter and will take them to small claims, thanks for the encouragement What I learned is simple: HOAs are a waste of time. They exist to control, not to build community. I’ll never live under one again. submitted by /u/DahBotanist to r/fuckHOA [link] [comments]

Destroyed vegetable garden
Does anyone know how to estimate the monetary value of a destroyed vegetable garden? I have 2 raise beds and they were contaminated with lead dust in mid summer due to gross negligence of my landlord and their contractor. I only got to enjoy a little kale and a handful of zucchinis before it was ruined. It’s been sad watching it all grow and knowing I can’t eat any of it… I’m trying to include this as a portion of a small claims suit. Can I include the cost of building one of the beds since I can’t use any of the land anymore? Do I only count the supplies and each individual plants value or do I include labor of growing from seeds and the cost of buying vegetables that I would have otherwise grown? Any advice or resources for pricing plants would be lovely! submitted by /u/molecularlegos to r/gardening [link] [comments]

Storing root vegetables in the garden
I live remote and off grid in the Southern Cariboo/ Interior of BC. We regularly get down to -30°C/ -22°F in winter and often have periods where we don't (or can't) go to town for months. We have an old root cellar and used to store root veg in bins of sand in there. This worked fine, but we store a lot of produce (which required tons of sand and space) and we found that the quality/ crispness/ flavour declined over time, and we never wanted to dig through the bins to check for rotten veg that might be affecting neighbouring pieces (which is best practice). We started experimenting with other low cost/ low power storage methods and this has been our preferred method for the past five or so years. Every fall, I dig up all of my carrots/ beets/ parsnips/ rutabaga, cut back their tops, and rebury everything in a single big trench in the garden. Digging them up and cutting the tops stops growth. Reburying them close together under loose soil makes digging them up easy even under snow/ in the dead of winter and also means you are super-mulching and maintaining a much smaller area. I started this process yesterday, and thought I'd document and share since this has been a game changer for us. Process: 1) Dig a big, deep trench in one garden bed. My property is very steep and all my beds are terraced, so I always make sure the trench is at the back of a bed so it benefits most from the insulation of the ground. You want the soil to have a little humidity to it so water lightly if needed. 2) On a cool day, dig up all your root veg. Set aside damaged or small produce for eating ASAP. 3) Cut tops back to ~1". 4) Stand all veggies in the trench very close together but separated by soil so that nothing touches. Mark where you've buried things so you remember where to look for different crops. 5) Sprinkle loose soil until they're covered up to a few inches above their tops. 6) Cover the top of the bed with LOADS of straw (I aim for 10" of loose straw) or some other insulating mulch. Using this technique, we harvest our own root veg from fall through spring and find almost no degradation in vegetable quality until it starts to get hot out. Notes: I wouldn't do this in raised beds. I'm also not sure it'd work well in heavy clay soils. I am in a semi-arid climate and might add a tarp or cover if I lived in a very wet region(?). Don't be lazy about the mulch. Keep it covered and fluffed up (snow is also a great insulator) and harvest quickly if it's below -10°. Curious to hear if any of you do this too and any tips/ caveats you'd add. submitted by /u/_emomo_ to r/homestead [link] [comments]

My small (formerly a parking space) growbag garden.
Almost all photos but the last two are from this year, the second to last is from 2023, and the last one is from 2022. As you can tell, its been a huge change! I moved here 2021 and started off with a parking space - I have no car and don't want one, and the landlord was cool with me making it a garden space. Unfortunately the neighbours in the other two units were pretty awful (moving my pots and crushing things to park their second car, meanwhile I was the only one with the space actually in the lease and I paid way more rent...) and when both units moved out two fun young families (inlaws, actually, the kids in each unit are first cousins) replaced them. The landlord said he picked people to match my vibe, and he sure did. They saw the value of having a space for their kids to play and enjoy and got into gardening too (and asked me for help!). We got our landlord to install a fence last year. We're basically like a little commune. We share a picnic table and have barbecues and I watch the kids sometimes. The other neighbours along the alley are also super happy and love passing by and asking questions about the garden (they were not fond of my old neighbours..) Also please forgive me as I lost the originals of the old photos from 2022 and 2023 and had to yoink them from my Insta highlights. :) Now, the deets. I started gardening in growbags in my previous apartment in 2019 and I can say that after 6 years, I'm still always tweaking things. I use a lot of square foot gardening principles. Gotta be efficient in a small space. I do have to fertilize frequently and I've been adjusting things this year as my previous regimen was wayyyyy too expensive! Previously I used Promix vegetable liquid fertilizer with amazing results, but at 20$ a bottle and needing a bottle a week... Lol no. I also add manure and compost to to the soil at the start of the growing season (and toss some handfuls on each plant in the beginning of summer). Much of this soil is from 2020 or 2023. I do have some tomato blight problems but will start rotating the 10g pots next year to fix that. The regimen I'm trying this year is a 20$ 8kg bag of 5-3-2 pelletted chicken manure (enough to last all season) and adding a 0.5-0-6 fermented algae fertilizer (128$ for 4 litres, enough for 2 seasons). I've also tracked down 4-6-8 chicken manure which will lead to better results as I find the tomatoes are lacking a bit this year. Vegetable list: 5 gallon pots: * 6 pepper plants * Lemonbalm * Salads (time to switch this crop out tho) 7 gallon pots: * 6 eggplants * 2 cucumbers * Various indigenous plants (see below) 10 gallon pots: * 9 tomatoes * 2 tomatillos * 2 for lancinato kale, 3 plants each pot * 2 Astia zucchini * 2 for yellow Bush beans, 4 plants each pot * 1 Somerset grape vine * 2 for Seascape strawberries, like 4 per pot * 1 dwarf raspberry * 1 dwarf blueberry * 1 for chamomile that reseeds each year * 1 for a mishmash of basil, spearmint (comes back), vietnamese coriander * 1 for Greek oregano that comes back each year * 1 for chive and sage that come back too * 1 taken over by some Mediterranean hyssop that also comes back * Borrage and hyssop that reseed everywhere, including in the gravel. I also have: * 45 gallon pot for Oka melons and scarlet runner beans and borage, but this basically only works every 2 years. Delicious when it works though. * 25 gallon pot that I used for watermelon, but this was also a mixed bag and in such a small garden, not worth the space. I'm replacing the soil with acidic soil and will be planting a large blueberry bush thats tastier than the dwarf variety I have. Indigenous plants in pots, they come back each year: Penstemon hirsutis with foin d'odeur Anise hyssop Swamp milkweed Echinacea Sneezeweed Wild monarda bergamot Coreopsis (reseeds) Indigenous in ground, semi shade: * Clematis virginiana * New england aster * Showy tick trefoil (the leafcutter bees adore it) * Canadian red columbine * Heart leaf aster * Zigzag goldenrod * Canadian anemone * Arnica chamissonis being swallowed my Canadian anemone, oops * Unhappy maianthem racimonum * Blood root I planted a week ago that is surprised she exists A cheat pot of non indigenous plants (blue salvia, marigolds, white cosmos) and I have sweet alyssum, white cosmos, and Scarlett Runner beans spread out across the garden too. submitted by /u/Narrow-Strawberry553 to r/gardening [link] [comments]

Project Zomboid Made Me Stop Playing Video Games And Start Growing Weed:
I noticed some other people sharing their stories of how project zomboid affected their actual life, so I thought I'd share my experience too: Roughly 2 years ago I was introduced to Zomboid and got really into it like much of you. Put in hundreds of hours, needed some more content so I started going crazy on the modding. I am very much the type of person who plays a game like Zomboid and despite multiple playthroughs, always chooses roughly the same path, like the classic Skyrim stealth archer build... For me in Zomboid, this culminated as me always establishing big farms for everything I could. But the issue with farms in this game is that making furrows is extremely boring and tedious. I tried using mods that introduced plowing machines but even then it was still annoying. I effectively turned the game into a farming simulator with as many plant growing mods as possible but it always bothered me how slow the process was. There were also so many times where I would die after my seed sowing and never get to see my yield. Eventually I realized how many hours I was putting into Zomboid growing crops that would never actually reach fruition. I also gained a curiosity about cannabis and tobacco where none existed before, because I had technically gone through the process of growing them through Zomboid modding. I made the decision to start gardening in real life since I was using so much time for it in game, "I may as well spend the time growing things that I can actually eat". And things just went from there. I learned a ton about cannabis, and eventually on a whim bought some seeds, and then was forced to learn more because I actually had to grow them now. Now, two years later, I don't really enjoy video games as much. I don't play them in my freetime really, not unless it's with others, because I could be putting my time into things that actually have delayed gratification in real life as opposed to in game. I never tried weed before, but now I have way more than I'm ever gonna use. I went kinda crazy with seeds and have destroyed a lot of my lawn to replace with any kind of flower or vegetable (just like how you dig furrows in any dirt in Zomboid), and harvest is starting to come around slowly. But yeah, apparently the energy you have for video games can be directed elsewhere if the application is similar. I really attribute it to the fact that the mechanics are extremely similar; In game, you do things that will have long-term benefits/delayed gratification to the player, and that's exactly how farming works IRL. Small end note: I did also start growing several varieties of Cuban Tobacco to match the game experience as well, seems to be doing well with all these heat waves in the States, lol. submitted by /u/MoonBearVA to r/projectzomboid [link] [comments]

EM steals my entire vegetable garden
We have a not so small vegetable garden in the backyard of my family's house. Me and my mom are the gardeners, and we grow a bunch of zucchini, snap peas, herbs, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, and even grapes with the occasional other vegetables(radishes, bell peppers, etc.). One day I hear something outside my window(which is right above the largest planter box in our garden). I look outside and see two kids from the neighborhood picking vegetables from the planter box. I run out and see the two of them have their arms full of zucchini and carrots and even some tomatoes. I ask what on earth are they doing, and they said "We live in the neighborhood." I told them that those are our vegetables, and they cant take them. They just said "Its our neighborhood too, we can have them if we want." and they took off before I could stop them, literally vaulting over the small fence that separates our side yard from the neighbors(Different neighbors, not the ones that were stealing). A few days later I heard something outside my window again, and I look out and see the kids mom loading a basket with vegetables from the planter. I again rush out and see that her and her kids are loading baskets with everything they could grab. I watched as the mom grabbed a handful of the chives I had been growing, and rip them out- roots and all. My mom must have heard me run out, because she came out as well. She yelled, asking what they think they were doing, and the kids just kept picking vegetables, while the mom just turned- annoyed. "Its everyone's neighborhood, and we need the food." she said, still picking from the garden, and desecrating my prized chives. My mom told her that if she had just asked, we would have given the some, and even if it is everyone's neighborhood, is OUR garden. She just huffed and left with her kids, and there wasn't anything we could do. Our garden was damaged beyond repair. Our zucchini plants were torn to bits, and the peas and tomatoes were trampled and shredded, and our grape bush- that we had for YEARS was broken at the base, where one of them had stepped on it. There were no fresh vegetables that year, and my mom couldn't make her chocolate chip zucchini bread. A few days later we installed a lock on the backyard fence, and the neighbors came banging on our door, mad the WE installed a lock preventing THEM from getting into OUR garden. My mom just told them to go away, and if she saw them in our garden again- she would call the cops. We thankfully never saw them again, and our garden is happy now, and we managed to bring the grapes back to life. A little while ago, we planted some blueberry bushes in our front yard. Someone keeps stealing them, and half the blueberry's are gone each season, we let the kids in the neighborhood eat them, but they only take maybe like 8-10 each a day on weekends or during the summer. There are 10 bushes in total, about a hundred to hundred fifty blueberry's each- hmm, I wonder who is taking five hundred blueberries every year... hmmm. We haven't caught them yet, but everyone knows. submitted by /u/Razziquet to r/entitledparents [link] [comments]

Neighbor threw poison in my vegetable garden
We moved in to our new house in January of this year. There is a side yard of grass/sod that belongs to our property that separates my house from my neighbors home. Everything seemed great when we moved in, until I planted a small raised vegetable garden in the side yard (only place in the yard with enough sun to grow veggies). The elderly neighbor was unhappy that I had pulled up the grass and said she “was going to get (my) husband on (me)”. My husband loves my garden and the fresh veggies we get from it daily. Neighbor was quiet for a few months, happily accepted any produce I offered to her. Then out of the blue she calls code enforcement on my garden saying it was full of dead plants. Code enforcement came out, saw a garden with no dead plants and tons of melons and peppers and laughed, said I was not violating code and my garden looked great. Neighbor wasn’t happy that code enforcement did not make me remove my garden, so she proceeded to trespass on my property and mow over all my watermelon and cantaloupe vines, destroying all the not yet ripe melons. I approached her and told her not to trespass or mow on my property. She turned away and walked off without saying anything and continued to mow on my property. The next day, I go to throw some trash in the outside bin and I see the neighbor on my property spreading poison in my organic veggie garden. I started filming her, told her to stop, she continued. That night both of my dogs got very sick with vomiting and diarrhea. They had been in my fenced back yard only, not near the front where she was videotaped spreading poison. So I called the cops. They came and talked with her, told her she could not come on my property. She screamed and had a fit at me in front of the cop. The neighbor also smiled when I mentioned the dogs getting sick. The cop saw her smile and told me to immediately get cameras put up everywhere as my animals didn’t appear to be safe in my yard. I didn’t press charges as I just want her to stop and leave me alone. However she is continuing to trespass on my property (all caught on video). She literally walked past the no trespassing sign to mow 4-5’ on my property. My husband wants to let it go, I fear for my 2 year old daughters safety and for the safety of my 2 dogs. She is blatantly disregarding the orders of the police officer. I’m a wreck over all this, I’m going to have to remove all the poisoned soil and remediate the ground. All of my other neighbors have been super supportive of my plight and tell me not to back down to her bullying attempts. What should I do? Update: thank you everyone for the thoughts. I will be going to the police station tomorrow to press charges. submitted by /u/Odd_Description_995 to r/neighborsfromhell [link] [comments]

AITA for confronting my neighbor who is obviously stealing produce from my garden?
This spring a young woman, let's call her "Kristin," moved into the house next door to me. She owns some sort of catering business for weddings and runs an Instagram account about food. We live in a semi-remote area about 15 minutes outside of a small town. During pandemic I got very into gardening, and love my thriving vegetable and herb garden. I tend to it very carefully and I love that I can feed my husband and kids with food I have grown. This summer, produce has begun disappearing: some of my tomatoes, squash, eggplants and herbs will disappear overnight. I see no signs of animals chewing them. No vegetables disappeared from my garden last summer. Obviously someone is taking them. Kristin is the nearest house to mine - the other nearest are a bit of a walk down the road, and she is right next door, and I find it very suspicious that they began disappearing right after she moved in. I even checked her Instagram and see her posting photos of food this very week featuring the exact produce that's gone missing from my garden - tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, herbs. I confronted her about this yesterday evening and she became very, very defensive. She said I was crazy and that she had no reason to steal from me as there is a farmer's market right down the road and she grows her own windowsill herbs and has a supplier for her business. She even had the audacity to brag about how much money she makes, saying that her business brings in good money and that she would have no need to steal. From her defensiveness and this level of bragging, it seems obvious to me that she is lying. Things got ugly and she slammed her door in my face, which to me seems like further proof of guilt. AITA? Should I have gone about this differently? She is clearly stealing from me and clearly lying about it. submitted by /u/ThrowawayGardenThief to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]
