The Climate Change Thread

The bees and butterflies disappearing isn’t exactly a mystery. Neonicotinoids are directly responsible.

Mad_Cyril yep. One of its uses is to coat seeds.

Heartwarming

Meanwhile we pay a 25% green tax on the energy we use. They are laughing at us.

Not me, I’m paying them in magic beans

It’s the future I tell thee.

Amps will be a nightmare to find the dog shits when the grass gets too long

RichM You don’t have to grow all of it. You can have a classically cut piece of lawn where you can train the dog to shit.

The contrast of long grass, short grass, and dog shit, can look quite nice too:

Homegrove we have something like that. Our back garden is 30 or so meters long. The 15 metres next to the house is kept trimmed, the last 15 metres I let go wild, and then cut it down in late September. We have a few paths there to get around.

Get in H! Fuckin mad skills!

Homegrove Do you get a fair bit of wildlife in there or have you never actually bothered to look out of the window?

Amps we have loads of birds (we also have 5 birdhouses in various trees), a couple of squirrels seem to live on our property, and the occasional hare visit. Been meaning to get a few insect hotels, but the missus thinks I should be able to do one myself. I’m just lazy.

Homegrove Sweet.

I read that not all bug hotels are made the same. Defo worth a bit of research. You may find that a very simple log pile might be more effective.

That’s not to be confused with something Rhousedawg would coil down in the long grass.

Homegrove
Get yourself a cat, will soon sort all those pests out

Amps if I agree to do that, will we get some more gifs of some huge norks as a reward? If so I think you are onto something

RichM Its a win win situ. You’ll spend less time cutting the grass, I’ll spend more time perusing wazza jugs, and the insects in your garden will get more habitat.

Mad_Cyril we have two. Not letting them outside, because they would kill everything like you said.

@Amps you should probably give this bird a follow.

Fronts an online tech show and has pneumatic tits.
