Support. Not a fan of reading through dozens of lawn care threads to get to something useful.


Well since DB supports, I oppose. Someone has to be the contrarian to his contrarian arse.

In all seriousness though, I'm with the others that would rather the OB not be split. It's a great catch-all board for anything to do with getting outside the house for an extended period of time, whether that be shooting critters or growing things that the critters we shoot like to eat.

It doesnt affect me since I usually don't click those threads, but I think you have too many boards already. I guess they're generating traffic for yall though.

I'd be glad to get this back to hunting/fishing.

While you’re adding boards, can you add a F150 board? There’s as many threads on those POS as there is on lawn and garden on front page. Perhaps move kayak stuff to soccer board.

Is it too late to put down a weed killer/fertilizer combo? If not, is Scott's a good brand?

No. That sucks.

I don't want to sort through the gardening threads my wife would be interested in to find threads that should be here.

Automotive Board seems more appropriate than a Home and Garden Board


A lot of the automotive stuff on this board is related to the outdoors, whether it’s a good tire that will get you on to the hunting camp on a muddy road, or which vehicle is the best at hauling various equipment and toys used for the outdoors, vehicles are apart of discussions here for a reason. This board isn’t discussing the newest model Telsa or Prius

I will say, I’m not fond of there being 3 separate weed identification threads posted on the front page in addition to the lawn care thread, on a near daily basis, but that is due more to the poor search function and lack of enforcement on starting similar threads, which could be addressed through stickies rather than starting a new board.

Woodworking, home building and repair, outdoor kitchens, gardens, and even pools are some of the best and most valuable threads on this board, that’s without mentioning the cooking of wild game and enjoying a beverage, since the food and drink board is pretty pretentious

What about adding a lawn/garden sticky at the top?

That way everything related to lawn and garden goes in the sticky, yet remains on this board?

Please don’t do this! This board gives legit answers to anything outdoor and home related. Things you can’t put on the ot because people will give ot type answers. Everyone here is on the same page and if you move those topics to another board, guys might not be checking both.

Again I implore you, please don’t move this.

The problem is, those belong on an OT board. We can't have that because our OT has been ruined by kids playing message board. This place needs a SOC board where the kids can post their I will shock the board type post of the day.

That was what I was suggesting, but a lot of posts get lost in stickies or 25 page threads, and they don’t get the responses they hoped they’d get, which is why people start new threads, that and trying not hijack another posters thread. An improvement in the search function would help this, also enforcing not starting new threads which are similar to existing threads.

It’s not just lawn care, that’s just because it’s that time of year. Once it gets closer to hunting season it will be “recommend me a scope for _____” or “which rifle caliber would you recommend”

There is just a glut of home and garden stuff right now because we’re coming into spring. In a few months it will be fishing. Then in the summmer/fall it’s going to be all hunting all the time. Then back to the spring warming.

Don’t do this to us.

There have been dozens, and it's still early March.

Oh.

Well, explain the dozens of gardening threads and how you missed them since you spend so much time here.

I don’t disagree on that a lot of those topics could just as easily belong on the OT, but the value gained from posting the same question on that board would not nearly be the same. The OT also moves too fast due to what you said.
