gardening sucks for so many reasons but I can certainly be swayed by low-effort gardening that results in plants that attract bees
@gsuberland Something really neat in the 'low-effort gardening' category that I ran across recently, is the "keyhole garden" - basically raised beds in a circle around a compost heap in the middle, with a cut-out so that you can reach it.
Toss your food and garden waste into the compost bin, along with a bunch of water, and it'll seep into all the adjacent garden beds by itself over time, no further maintenance or attention required.
It's usually used for vegetable gardens but I don't see why it couldn't also be used for other kinds of plants!
@joepie91 my definition is like... I throw some seeds and whatever grows grows
@joepie91 luckily brassicas are like YES I WILL GROW HELL I'LL GROW IN A PIT MADE OF PURE GLYPHOSATE GIVEN HALF THE CHANCE and once they flower the bees go nuts for them
@gsuberland To be clear, I use the phrase 'raised beds' but it's a little different from your usual (high-effort, robust, solid) raised beds; because you basically never interact with the soil it doesn't need to be rigid or robust, so sticking a bunch of branches into the ground to create a 'fence' that holds back the soil (maybe with a little metal wire around the whole thing) is pretty much enough to tick the box 🙂
(That may still be too much effort for you, just wanted to make it clear that I don't mean the fancy nice-wood things you usually see as raised beds)
@joepie91 raised beds gets pretty far out of low-effort for me lol
