Okay — planting with garlic or marigolds I have done in pots, but I never thought about how it’d scale up in-ground. That actually might be doable if we’re smart about layout. Catnip’s a fun idea too, though I’m a little worried about every stray in a two-kilometer radius treating the nursery like a rave. Maybe I will get some cat food prepared as well!! 😅
We haven’t had major pest issues yet, but I’m definitely keeping aphids in the back of my mind. I’ll probably do a diluted neem or pyrethrin rotation just to be safe. I’m used to being able to just isolate a pot or pull a planter — this whole “actual soil” thing is exciting but a little lawless.
But. Okay.
Carnivorous plants??
I need to know more. Are they free roaming? Do they just hang out in the corners and vibe until a bug wanders in? Do you compost with them somehow? Like do the flytrap corpses become fertilizer?? I feel like you just dropped that like it’s normal and I am absolutely losing my mind at the mental image of a greenhouse patrolled by sundews and pitcher plants like it’s Jurassic Park.
