Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

I'm thinking about getting into the weed care business. Notice how I didn't say lawn care business? That's because most of the yards with well kept lawns already have lawn care people coming by on a regular basis. I'm hoping to find some people who are embarrassed about the weeds in their yard and wouldn't mind having them cut flush with the dirt.
As a prolific gardener, you actually want some weeds and unkempt grass in your typical large farm style gardens. Many insects prefer the weeds over garden plants. Having a slightly shaggy grass barrier around your plants protects them too, also insulates them.
A pristine & clean garden such as in magazines or media segments require constant maintenance, the usage of chemicals you don't need or want to use, and as a result a waste of money and time spent that can hinder a gardens production.
Y'all need to check out the medicinal properties of what we've been conditioned to call "weeds."
Start with the humble dandelion, everything from its flower to its root is healthy and helpful.

I'm been eating dandelion green since I was a wee kid. Imagine mynsurpise that you can eat the flowers too!
