  • my two cents being a fan of passive gardening:

    I would let it be, especially if it looks healthy, you’re sure it has twice as many leaves as it did before and it’s already survived a winter.

    even if you’re careful with the root structure, just a move by itself and certainly removing clumped dirt from its roots will shock the plant.

    using new soil would have been good, but if it’s still growingnand healthy then you did fine.

    if it hasn’t grown much yet, that could be due to the clumped dirt, but maybe not, and if it’s still growing then I would let it do its thing since it’s already figured out how to grow where it is.

    As the roots get thicker and stronger, they’ll eventually break up that clumped dirt and its roots will continue to expand, whereas removing the clumped dirt or trying to move it will definitely shock the tree again.

    if you have plenty of time and you want to do something for the tree without accidentally interrupting its growing process, you could add a sort of soil platform on the hill like this:

    you don’t need the bricks, though you’ll probably have to pack the dirt in around its sides a couple times over the next few years before plant roots take hold and it holds its structure by itself.

    take soil from a place you don’t need the extra soil or grab free soil off Craigslist and build a flattened platform around the tree so that it has a flat place to extend its roots so it doesn’t have to dig downhill as hard and will have more easily available water but:

    again, if the tree is healthy and growing, you’re good and it will likely keep growing if you leave it alone, plus this sort of soil platform will be some amount of work, but if you want to do something and have the time, inclination and soil, it won’t interrupt how the tree is naturally growing now and will provide more available water and give it the opportunity to expand its root structure laterally rather than having to do more work digging down.










  • “if he was captain of MS-13, it would make a difference.”

    it would, if there is corroborated, documented evidence someone is a captain of a violent gang, rather than someone with no criminal history and a sigmund freud tatoo.

    that makes a difference.

    “…claim a guy was captian of MS-13…”

    this is basically what is happening now from official sources, my related comments in this post discuss this exact issue.

    but you don’t have to fall on one side or the other.

    if someone is a violent offender and gamg member, that should be considered.

    if someone is not, as in this case, that should be considered.

    and as the post is about, due process should be inviolable.

    all three are simultaneously correct.




  • “Even if dude were the captain of MS-13, it doesn’t matter.”

    being a captain of an international gang that murders and rapes people would matter.

    pretending it doesn’t is ridiculous.

    “Dems buying into this phony racist hysteria about MS-13”

    okay, you are confused.

    rump is not a democrat, he is an extremely conservative republican.

    MS-13 has been around for over 30 years, and the democrats I have not overreacted, extreme conservatives are the one overreacting.

    “They’re just serving their masters in the prison industry.”

    again you’ve got conservatives and progressives mixed up.

    conservatives are obeying corporate masters; they literally hired the corporate masters to run the country.
