Always thought it was about running fast, but mine is actually about not looking down.

My buddy was trying to generate a photo of a forest and it kept looking fake. He typed "stock photo" in the negative prompt and it suddenly looked like a real place. The trees got more random and the light looked natural. He said it was a total game changer for making outdoor scenes.

A wider hose plus sanding the cut edge gives you two layers of protection against snags.

But you're missing the whole point of the barrier. It's not about stopping roots, it's about steering them DOWN. Without it, those shallow roots go straight for the sewer line. I'd rather deal with a circled root in fifteen years than a flooded basement next spring. That Colorado study was on a slope, not a flat yard like most people have.

Ever wonder if that tax is the reason the streets in the tourist zones are actually pretty clean? I mean, I saw city workers power washing the sidewalks in the Gothic Quarter almost every morning. It didn't feel like a grab to me because the public transit was so good and clearly used by everyone. Maybe it's just me, but when a place is that well kept, I don't mind paying a bit extra to help keep it that way.
