WoodDweller Sep 2020 7:42am, 9 Sep 2020 10 posts	0 WoodDweller Is there a minimum distance you have to cover before you start planting flowers? I've noticed mine seen to spring up on the far parts of a route 🤔 My area's fellow member seems to have stopped .. he's got bugs popping up all over the place and is no longer infecting mine. I hope I haven't put him off!

Dvorak Sep 2020 10:57am, 9 Sep 2020 20,689 posts	0 Dvorak So the minimum distance is half a mile. I saw an interesting example of that yesterday, from someone planting a flower whilst surfing (1.1km logged)

I saw an example of lots of flowers planted very close together, all by the same person on the same day, and could only think that they'd run around the space (a small park) until they'd covered about 5 miles.
Velociraptor Sep 2020 1:22pm, 9 Sep 2020 48,441 posts	0 Velociraptor I've occasionally considered running around a short loop close to work, just under or just over a mile in length, a few times and planting lots of flowers which I could then water and harvest. But actually doing it on top of doing everything else is unlikely to happen.
Dvorak Sep 2020 2:08pm, 9 Sep 2020 20,697 posts	0 Dvorak There's a small section of road I have been known to cycle up and down, between my circle edge and grid edge, taking note of where flowers are and 0.5 mile points fall.

sallykate Sep 2020 5:01pm, 11 Sep 2020 6,897 posts	0 sallykate I'm 11 days in - aiming to keep bug-free throughout September. As most of my activity is walking at the moment it takes a good hour each day - but it's also good motivation to get running again and cycle a bit more too!
