I think you got your answer. Fuck industry

The Lemmy apps are fine, but I've been disappointed in the quality of Lemmy posts and discussion. It's too many memes, not enough good quality thoughts, discussion, content, community. It's unfortunate. Wanted this to be the place I die.

This is 5.2. I believe it's like $10 a month essentially, but sometimes I go over the alotted number of requests, and it's an additional $4 to top up.

Happy to take requests, especially solar punk related.

This is very cool. Love this kind of stuff.

Pros of Gardening with Raised Beds:

Improved Drainage: Raised beds typically allow for better soil drainage, which can be beneficial for plants that don't do well in waterlogged conditions.

Easier Maintenance: Raised beds can reduce the amount of bending and stooping required during gardening tasks, which can make the activity more accessible for people with mobility issues or physical discomfort.

Higher Yield: Because plants can be grown closer together in raised beds, they often result in higher yields than traditional row planting.

Pest Control: Raised beds can help deter some garden pests, like rabbits and slugs.

Soil Quality Control: With raised beds, gardeners have full control over the soil environment, making it easier to tailor to the specific needs of different plant varieties.

Aesthetic Appeal: Raised beds can add structure and aesthetic appeal to your garden, especially if you have a larger space.

Facilitates Cold Frames/Mini Greenhouses: Raised beds can easily be converted into cold frames or mini greenhouses by adding a PVC pipe and plastic covering. This allows for extended growing seasons.

Cons of Gardening with Raised Beds:

Initial Time and Expense: Building or purchasing raised beds can require a significant initial investment in terms of both time and money.

Watering Needs: Raised beds often require more frequent watering than traditional gardens because they drain so well.

Soil Temperature: Raised beds can lead to soil temperatures that are cooler in the shoulder seasons and hotter in the summer. This might be a disadvantage for certain plants that prefer a consistent soil temperature.

Potential Materials Decay: Depending on the materials used to construct the raised beds, they may decay over time and need to be replaced.

Space Limitations: Raised beds may not be suitable for larger plants or those with deep root systems due to space limitations.

Limited Mobility: Once installed, raised beds are not easy to move. Careful planning is required to ensure the right location and layout.

Really wish that each til title encapsulated a full thought or fact instead of just straight up linking to the Wikipedia page without giving me the cruz of the fact in the title. It's a tease and I don't like it.
