    I have a small garden for a hobby and mental health. I spent $30 on 2 bags of fucking DIRT yesterday. What am I doing? Dirt was $30!?!? I guess I can’t even afford dirt anymore. 😭

      im very fond of succulents, but i just dont have the time to research all of them. not the “ornamentals” you see in peoples front yards.

        Having a few small succulents on a desk is underrated. I have a half height bookshelf thing up against the big window where my computer desk is and I have a whole row of plants there to get sunlight. Cactus, pothos, succulents, little flowers and random plants I am rooting to eventually plant, just whatever.

        Yes, but I ran out and needed a bit more. Other than a few seed packs to kick off the Spring that was the first gardening purchase this year. It just shocked me how much freaking dirt is.

      Those 15~25kg bags from the garden centre are an order of magnitude more expensive than loose dirt from a transport or earthworks depot.
