There's a neighbor I really don't like. He's recently demolished his house and plans to build another using the money he got from suing a local business (onsite injury or somesuch), but I want him out of the neighborhood, and I'm not the only one who feels that way. One of my friends came up with an idea while we were blackout drunk: let's buy a bunch of apple seeds and plant them all over the site before construction begins. Then, in 10-12 years, it'll slowly completely erode the foundation of the building.

Could this even work? What would happen if we planted a bunch of trees beneath a house either before construction began or one the earth-moving parts have been completed? I don't know anything about construction or trees, but this seems like an incredibly evil (but not illegal) thing to do, so I'm curious.

But will it work? According to Google, it has a low (but still possible) chance of working with apple seeds, but there has to be a plant or tree that this would work with, right? What germinates without light?

A lawnmower? He doesn't even own one. Nobody will be using a lawnmower under the house after it's been built. Are you retarded or something?

Trees grow outside, in the presence of The Sun. Trees can't grow under a house. They need sunshine and water and fresh air. A seed has 1-3 days of food in it for the baby plant/tree. If it fails to find sun, water, and fresh air in those few days it dies. Hence you would need to plant them in the lawn or any lucky seeds under the house would sprout out and up on the edges and be visible from the outside. The home owner, or new owners, would then have about a decade to watch the tree grow and destroy it in that time via machines, like lawn mowers and weed whackers, or simply using garden shears.

Listen to me when I say this, I'm a college trained horticulturist and as it were an arborist. This is literally the stupidest plant based question I have ever heard anyone ask and I've heard a lot. You seem to not understand the most basic principles on how plants or trees work, nor how time works. Why would someone sit and watch a tree grow for ten years and not do anything about it? Most baby trees are small and supple enough to be chopped like grass in the regular lawn mowing cycle for years. Are you telling me you think plants can grow years underground, absent the sun and open air, and just do what? Like there is a whole apple tree just buried and thriving? Did you assume the roots would grow unchecked forever with no leaves to make energy? Like some mycelium fungal colony? You are literally retarded and I hate your guts. Literally.

What I get for asking nar/sci/ssists a question I didn't know the answer to, I guess. Haven't been to this board in a while, but it's not changed a bit. I suppose it's some consolation that, if you're here, it's clear nobody respects you personally or professionally, and you're suffering. Whatever I can do to help, I guess. I hope you got a headache reading this and you stub your toe.

You literally hate my guts? Any reason you chose that part of the body and not any other? What do you hate most about them? Is it the color? The texture? The specific purpose it serves in my body, or some other thing?

>but not illegal
Its highly illegal. Attempting to sabotage a construction site you don't own is very illegal. If it actually worked (it wouldn't) rendering the foundation of a building unstable could easily lead to deaths–of the neighbor, of construction workers, of emergency workers entering the structure, of a random family that buys the house after him. Why don't you just drill holes and plant explosives, after all–its not illegal to intentionally destroy the foundation of an occupied building? What you are doing right now is arguably conspiracy to commit murder.

>What I get for asking nar/sci/ssists a question I didn't know the answer to, I guess.
Fuck you. You are an idiot who wants us to help you destroy another person's home and possibly commit murder. You can come down off your high fucking horse now you murdering piece of shit. You've got some nerve calling us narcissists when you are so self centered you think you have the right to destroy a man's home and kill him because you find him mildly annoying.

Lookup the genus and species of the type of nature that is reclaiming abandoned parts of chicago and detroit. Nature isn't illegal.

Kudzu is an exotic weed in Illinois. The Illinois Exotic Weed Act prohibits the sale or distribution of this plant in Illinois. Kudzu is also a noxious weed in Illinois. The Illinois Noxious Weed law mandates that each landowner controls the spread of and/or eradicates this plant from their land.

maybe try getting blackout drunk with your annoying neighbor and come up with an idea for how to get more blackout drunk together

Wrong plant and wrong target. You should feed him watermelon seeds. When they germinate in his stomach, it will keep expanding until he explodes.
