Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I feel saddened if I need to cut back a plant, hanging over to my neighbor for example, or over a walkway it is blocking. I think the plant would be better off without me cutting it back. But I have to do it for my neighbors sake and my foot-paths and walkways need to be clear as well.

Is this normal? ✂️🌿

So long as you dont bag and throw out the clippings, they'll just compost on the ground and turn back into soil, and then turn back into the grass in a closed-ish cycle

nutrient cycle

Yeah this is why farmers need fertilizer, because the plants they remove to feed humans remove nutrients from the ground. If you have some fruit trees, one should perhaps fertilize them, once you eat some stuff out of your garden.
