If you can't grow your own black holes, store-bought is fine.

i prefer wild-generated blackholes, sources from a star.

The problem is, nobody can find out if they actually are

i prefer mines, organic, pasture and gard raised, not with artificial ingredients. must use actual STAR, none of the "collider-made particles"

It's not that hard, all you needs a little Scots turf builder black hole edition.

I keep hearing commericals for them advertising to kill clover. Always annoys me. If clover grows in your yard, your yard likely needs the nutrients (nitrogen likely). Also, it helps bee populations, which helps well... Life.

Clover was never a weed until weed killer came around out and killed it with everything else in the grass. So they started an ad campaign that told people it was a weed and convinced people that white flowers in your yard look bad.

So now everytime I hear an advertisement that mentions killing clover I remind myself not to buy products by the brand who says it. Also, clover honey is delicious.

No wonder. They're such a pretty plant, why would anyone kill it off their lawns?

I love clover! So much softer than grass. I like Moss more, looks the nicest!

Clover is better at retaining moisture too. So yards with lots of clover tend to stay green longer in dry periods, which also helps life. Keep things cooler too.

Grass is really just awful ground cover.

That's fair, and my old house I didn't mind having clover all over my yard, some people just want straight grass though, then they want to cut cross hatches in it. Everybody's got to have a hobby and grass cutting is less annoying the older you get.

I really prefer wild Atlantic black holes.

But it's not an authentic black hole unless it's mined with slave labour!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

Well, yeah.

If you wish to build a black hole from scratch, you must first build the universe.
