I'm curious to hear your unpopular gardening opinions! For instance, do you love mint, or think it's overrated? Have you ever planted ivy too close to your neighbor's trees? What do you think about using a leaf blower at 8 AM on a Sunday? Let's share those hot takes!

I think hardiness zones can be pretty overrated when choosing plants. It's not just about those zones; we need to consider soil condition, sunlight, and our local climate too. Every garden is unique, so let’s talk specifics rather than just those zones!
Honestly, guerrilla gardening rarely does much good. A lot of times, it’s just a way for people to feel like they’re saving the world without thinking things through. Plus, the obsession over the 'right tools' or brands is just silly—plants don’t care if their pot is from a fancy store or just a repurposed tub! I’ve used everything from fancy compost to homemade mixes, and the plants don’t judge.
I actually plant mint directly in the ground, and it’s been a game changer! It's low maintenance and has made my formerly weedy walkway look amazing. Plus, free mint for days! Not everything needs to be complicated, right?
I agree! Gardening shouldn't have to be a science experiment. Sometimes, letting nature do its thing works better.
Exactly! Some people act like their gardening is life or death, when in reality, you just need to observe your soil and what grows well naturally.
