Or you're on a farm and desperately need windbreaks

[–] NickwithaC 20 points 5 months ago (2 children)

So desperate that you'll wait 50 years?

Closer to 10. Yes.

This is a pretty common thing in the American Midwest. You see it a lot around houses on the tops of hills, especially in new construction. It looks kinda silly for a few years but it's the best you can do sometimes.

it astounds me that people don't do this, really

like i tend to always pay attention to how nice a property looks when i'm travelling past it, and good god it looks so much more enjoyable when you have a bunch of shade and greenery around you!

Properties without some sort of tree/hedge wall surrounding it out in the open just look absolutely miserable and trigger a long dormant part of my brain that fears being picked off by a giant bird.

It's a fire and falling hazard having trees that close to the home. There are places here in California where you legally have to have a 100 foot wide firebreak around the building, like up around the foothills where wildfires are common.

Alternatively do this with bamboo (properly contained so it doesn't spread) and it will be giant in under 1 year

[–] WarmSoda 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

If you do that though you'll attract pandas. And they won't even procreate in your yard. Bamboo isn't worth the hassle.

They seem cute until you find one scurrying around your kitchen in the middle of the night.

It's already on my computer. What do I do?

[–] recklessengagement 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How exactly does one properly contain bamboo at that scale

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because Bamboo expands by sending out underground runners you have to put some type of underground barrier to stop them.

I love this idea and am filing it away for the imaginary future where I own a home and need more greenery, damn it! Because it's going to be so lush and green. And there will be water and mountains and a rainbow...

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 2 points 5 months ago

if the internet has taught me anything and it hasn't, you can't properly contain bamboo
