When you get to be my age, you just really stop wanting to be here, and stop giving a shit.
I'd argue that you wouldn't feel as much like that if we didn't have such an oppressive economic system

This is kind of a bad question for this comm, but not a horrible idea for a pinned post
Something that would generate unique and interesting answers
You should keep it that way
Any better material that would allow my custom shape? (Schematic in another comment, and I'm going to add it to the post)
End unit of a townhouse style condo. Should I not bury it at all? But I'd still have to level out the ground because of the slope? Shorten its life by how long? Does that change at all if I'm looking at plywood? I'm aware of the prep and substrates, I just wanted the dirt as the top layer before the stones to support the moss. Or am I that much better off using some kind of square shape and dropping the moss idea?
So I'm getting ready to build a patio with a flower box on 2 sides. Please let me know if there's a better community for this question. First I'll talk about the patio.
I think I need to have a wood border to the patio to make sure it all stays together, especially because where it's going has a minor slope. I'm hoping to use flagstone and I would like the spaces between the stones to be filled with moss. Where I'm digging up already grows moss naturally so I'm hoping to just save that moss and have the top layer before the stones be dirt and use that moss to fill in the gaps.
For the flower box, I'm thinking I'm going to use some .75"x2'x4' boards, sink them a foot into the ground so they're 3' tall (mostly to keep away groundhogs), then use some 2x4s to stabilize the walls and a few bracers going across. Then fill it with dirt and start planting.
Is there anyone here with enough experience to approve my plan? Am I over engineering or is that a good idea for someone good at being sloppy and who hasn't done this before? Should I fill the bottom of the flower box with rocks or something to save money on dirt? Any changes I should make to my design? I do have a schematic I made if you think that would help make sense of my idea.
Thanks for reading!
Edit: Schematic!
I vote we rename this comm to "infuriating" and have people bring their own adjectives to their post
