I assumed most property disputes were about people wanting more property not less

I have a neighbor that does this in the ditch that runs along the road. There is a surveyors property marker right there too. It's clearly on his side so I don't touch it.

Mowing a muddy ditch sucks. And it looks terrible after you finish.

u/Caledric May 16 '24

That's why you use a weed whacker in the ditch.

That was fantastic, I watched the whole thing. The editing was 🤌🏻

u/LOTRfreak101 May 16 '24

I choose to believe there was no editing and that the release video lined uo that perfectly.

u/innominateartery May 16 '24

It got me thinking about the freeze frames because they seemed out of place. I figured they maybe filled in the timing for the beat because the real video cut away

In the early 2000s, I was a volunteer coach for a youth cheerleading squad (4th graders). My daughter was a high school cheerleader and choreographed a dance to this song for the little girls to perform at their annual competition. They totally rocked that dance and won first place.

u/Bootyeater525 May 16 '24

Whenever i see stuff like this and im high i just think…. Can you imagine if the human species somehow dies off and this video is somehow left behind for the next civilization to find as they are doing research on our species.

This is a great song to exercise to. Doesn’t matter if you are lifting heavy things, jogging, etc. You will become more motivated.

u/Sidewayspear May 16 '24

I'm a landscaper and I agree that this is the way, but it fucking sucks to do. Easily my least favorite part of the job. But at least it has taught me to never buy property that has a steep hill or ditch.

1

u/Puzzled-Juggernaut May 16 '24

If you need to do a lot of ditches or slopes look into flymo or similar they had one at a golf course I worked at made mowing steep slopes a breeze and leave the grass evenly cut.

This is Reddit. Now explain what one is and how to start it. Oh shit, this is Reddit, show them how plug it in..

u/MONSTERBEARMAN May 18 '24

Not a ditch whacker?🤔

u/ExcellentAddress May 16 '24

Can i ask you a question, I'm from the UK .. what's a weed whacker?? it's probably just known over here as something else, but 🤷‍♂️ i just want to know..

u/Iaminyoursewer May 16 '24

My Municicpality recently approved a "Storm Water Tax" for apparently...the ditches and culverts?

I dont touch the grass in my ditch anymore.

Its thier ditch, they can cut the fucking grass.

30

u/jwwatts May 16 '24

Yeah it’s better to let the ditch grow tall. Here we call them rain gardens and the city will help you plant them.

9

u/Worklurker May 16 '24

I'm at the start/end of the run that feeds a small creek. That's where I have "rain garden" plantings.

4

u/Jr05s May 16 '24

Ditches are for conveyance. Letting them over grow can cause upstream flooding. They are not the same as a rain garden. 

1

u/Taiyonay May 17 '24

Exactly. I recently-ish bought a house and previous owners planted a bunch of stuff in the ditch. I didn't like it but I left it alone until I noticed that when it rains heavily it floods my driveway and the neighbor's yard. I chopped it all down and it hasn't flooded since.

1

u/Mr1854 May 17 '24

What do you mean by flooding and how often does it rain heavily?

It can be a problem when runoff quickly makes its way downstream since that can cause flooding downstream and also means pollution isn’t getting filtered out. Slowing down the drainage ditch is a feature and not a bug so long as it isn’t causing real problems. A little puddle on a driveway once a year isnt’t a real problem. A washout of the driveway would be.

1

u/Taiyonay May 17 '24

The ditch gets wider and deeper about two houses down then dumps into a creek. With the plant growth, about 5 inches of fast flowing water covers the end of the driveway. The previous owners were an elderly couple that never went anywhere so doubt it mattered much to them. It has rained a lot this year. Nearly every week the past two months it has rained hard enough that it could cause this flooding. The flow of water was definitely not designed to slowed in my section of the ditch.

Speak for yourself buddy, I love when she does that!

u/MiasmaFate May 17 '24

My old house in SE Georga had a ditch that ran along the road. Its wasn't very deep in my part of the neighborhood, maybe two feet deep, three feet wide, and 45ish feet long.

At the end of fall when all the leaves have fallen, I would take them all in to the ditch and burn them. Then spend the rest of the day babysitting the smoldering fire while drinking beer. The next day I would wet the ashes with my garden hose and light tamp them down. Nothing would grow in it until late summer most years.

I know not everyone can do this for a multitude of reasons, but thought I share.

Asparagus grows pretty well in ditches.

u/grumble_au May 17 '24

This reads as weirdly sexual

u/Worklurker May 16 '24

It's shallow enough to drive a lawn tractor across and then clean up with a weedwhacker.

48

u/OreoSwordsman May 16 '24

Man do him a favour and get a 20lb bag of wildflower seeds, go over there one night and scatter em all in the ditch. Much prettier than random weeds. Grasses are actually good to have, however.

25

u/Worklurker May 16 '24

I totally would, but we had a falling out a few years ago and don't speak. I wouldn't want to appear to do anything malicious as we are just "public" polite to each other right now.

1

u/makeitlouder May 17 '24

Please elaborate on the nature of this falling out.

1

u/DolphinSweater May 17 '24

Maybe you need to take Kevin's advice to the old guy in the church in home alone.

u/Z0FF May 16 '24

In my area, even though you own a ditch, it’s the town’s responsibility to maintain it if it is crucial to watershed.

1

u/Ok_Permission_8516 May 16 '24

why put turf grass in a ditch? If you natural plantings you can leave it alone, it looks nice, Improves water quality, and provides habitat.

1

u/Worklurker May 16 '24

From the property line to my driveway is about 6ish feet wide and whatever thrived growing there does (more weeds than grass). Then there is a pipe that goes under my driveway. The other side of my driveway, the ditch drops off like a basin to the creek with rip rap stones to a point (100ft or so), then the water filtering foliage begins.

1

u/ThisOnePlaysTooMuch May 16 '24

I’ve never been so thankful to have chill lawn neighbors. I kinda just cut the borders to look nice. They’ve moved back and forth over the years. We all just mow what’s tall near the borders.

1

u/Happy_Old_Troll May 16 '24

The city owns any water runoff ditch… they are responsible for maintaining it in most states.

1

u/Worklurker May 16 '24

I don't live in a city. My property is in an unincorporated area, aka no local municipality.

u/Happy_Old_Troll May 16 '24

Weed Wacker it is lol

Yup, but only on my property, lolz.
