Strip update


redant

Recommended Posts

I updated the video of my strip of land across from me that I have take over with my  guerilla gardening. Everything other then the pines, palmetto and sable (and a few terrible invasive trees) was grown from seeds or cutting from my garden. The soil is awful, no irrigation and I don't fertilize anything. I have to choose wisely things that will survive here.  Walking the dogs so the video is a bit bumps, sorry. I also maintain all this myself as well. Strip 2 - YouTube

That’s almost unbelievable that you did that yourself. It looks amazing. Who owns that piece? Will someone be able to one day come and cut it all down?

You have planted a lot of great stuff there! Do you take care of it all by yourself or do some of your neighbors help out too?

Who owns it is a bit of a mystery. It's owned by my HOA, which does not exist. In theory yes, it could be cut down. It was all garbage and exotic vegetation before I took it over.

Most people are just so damn lazy. I do it all, even pick up the trash. People always tell me how wonderful it is as they walk right by some garbage.

^^^ Same here! AND the amount of trash is crazy! They say hi and some even say "Thank-you" while watching me pick up the trash in front of their house! On their front lawn! Top pic is a typical weeks worth of garbage pick up. I call code enforcement to have the city pick up the stuff I can't move, which occurs regularly. People abandon cars several times a year. Others leave furniture and other items when moving out of a nearby apartment complex because if they leave it at the complex the cost to remove will come out of their security deposit. Typically it's tables, beds, couches etc. but a couple weeks ago there was a baby grand piano!

Unbelievable!   True story, there is another neglected area where I mow and pick up trash. There where several soda bottles tossed there while I was mowing, the guy directly across from this neglected strip has his recycle bins still out, they had already been picked up that day. I put the bottles in his bins, this is right across from him. Later that day the bins are gone, and the bottles are tossed across the street again, right in front of his house. This is not a slummy area, his house is worth about 2 million. WTF is wrong with people.

Ya, I don't get it. Like the people who put their bulk pick up pile in the hell strip across the street from their house with a perfectly manicured lawn so the pick up claw won't mark up their lawn. Then they don't even clean up the scraps of broken furniture or whatever after bulk pick up comes by.

Sounds about right.  You see the same sort of stuff around here.   Being in an expensive neighborhood, you often run into some very angry, narcissistic, and selfish people.  Some of the NYC and NJ transplants, see the world in general, as their personal trash can.  It’s pretty disheartening.
