An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

She's a real beauty, what will you grow in it?
I want a shelf rack for moss propagation.
It's going to be a year round home for Kevin, our bird of paradise plant (named after Kevin from the movie Up).
After growing rosemary and basil outdoors in the past, I like the idea having them as perrenials instead of annuals, so we'll probably have some of those.
Here is a partial list of food plants we're planning to try:
Asparagus? Anything you enjoy pickled?
Asparagus would be good. I think it takes at least until the second year to be able to harvest, but that's ok.
Wait, what are you doing with the moss?
great way to find tartigrades
No clear goals other than propagating local moss from my yard and seeding the pine mulch between the stones with it. Probably going to use some in gift mini-terrariums. Also going to replace as much lawn as possible with moss, among other things.
You do watermelons? Knowing what zone you're in might help me give suggestions (for example, I'm in 9a)
Watermelons are doable outdoors here and that's a great idea for one of the patches we're considering turning into a food garden.
Sounds great! Best of luck to you!
Thank you
Ancent seeds.
.........wait. This isn't Stardew Valley!
Hemp?
