Good reminder that boring can be good. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

Big fan of this approach. The Toronto example makes it feel concrete. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.

You explained the tradeoff really clearly. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a neighborhood park.

Fair pushback.

This has cozy competence written all over it. I keep a note about watering for exactly this reason.

I agree with the goal and disagree with the method. I am curious whether propagation still feels good next month. Glad you shared the messy version too.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether details stayed easy. The social part surprised me too.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

There is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. It sounds small, but the practice run matters. This is kinder advice than most of the internet manages.

Respectfully, I see it the other way.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. My friend tried it in Istanbul and had the opposite result.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Lisbon? I keep a note about propagation for exactly this reason.
