I live in the Kansas City area which is comfortably Zone 6 from my understanding.

We've recently purchased our first house and the yard work is super time consuming! With .5 acres just mowing alone takes like 2 hours with my push mower due to all the trees and hills in the yard. I would like to have a pollinator friendly yard while also not having to spend so much time mowing. Using less gas in general would also be neat.

What I am thinking of doing is prior to first snow fall, over-seed with wildflowers from American Medows for most of the yard, and then in areas with some foot traffic, plant a mixture of clover and native grasses and then only worry about mowing in that area periodically.

Has anybody else ever over seeded with wildflowers? A lot of stuff I see posted here (and formerly on reddit) seem to be a bunch of elegant but hard and time consuming work like ripping up the yard, putting cardboard and mulch down, and then planting over that. However, I don't really have the time and money to do all that 🙁. Would I have desirable results with just over-seeding?

Stremio + Torrentio + Real-Debrid is perfect for those folks who want a simple setup
  • I second the library. If you're looking for something too niche for a library's online section it might be too niche for whatever piracy solution you can find on iOS anyways. Plus, your taxes are paying for it, might as well use it!

  • I even tried being a good little product and subjected myself to using the official reddit app.

    Absolute worst experience with an app I've ever had. Honestly couldn't even use reddit now even if I wanted to.

    I like the web app more.
  • I don't understand the people hating on Sync just as much as I don't understand the people hating posts criticizing sync.

    It's an app. Let people use what they want to use lmao. Growth for Lemmy is a good thing regardless
