An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

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.

The yellow and white clover, along with the odd wild daisy, are blooming in my yard! So no mowing for another week or two.

I can sit in Grandma's Hootch and drink tea while looking at pretty flowers and the lake. It reminds me of a little mountain valley.

All the while knowing that in 10 or twelve weeks it will all be covered in snow again.

Jeez, just how far north are you?!

Did you plant any clover seeds or did it "just happen"?

I have some clover, but I want it to take over my yard more.

That looks so peaceful. I hope you get to see a lot of bees too.

I got flowers around that the bees like better than the clover. So I don't see them hitting those flowers very often. They like the wild roses better that grow around in the places I don't/can't mow.

Oh yeah the bees go nuts over my swarp rose.

I still mow/mulch my clover every two weeks, it “trains” it to a manageable height and help return the nitrogen to the soil.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I mow it enough that the clover doesn't get much taller than it is right now. So I can easily enjoy the pretty flowers for several weeks.

I often do you mow then? I mow every 2 weeks and the grass is barely 6” long.

Water every 2 days, fertilize when needed, but the clover does a good job of that.
