    Cool video! I’m sure I’ll be modifying the quad once I buy it down the road. My question to you is do you know the difference between the two different 24 V razor quads? $450.01 $750. They both seem to hold 120 pounds and go 8 miles an hour except one looks like it might be 3 inches longer and maybe an inch or two wider.

    I think trap plants are good to grow. Wither they are domestic or wild. If you find a plant the "pest" like best, grow them just to keep the pests away from those you want to harvest from.

    I'm in N. MS and last yr I grew Clemson Spineless and Burmese Okra. The Burmese WAY out performed the Clemson. I saved the seeds from the Burmese and planted those this yr. They are already producing and are only 1 ft tall. The Burmese can get a lot longer before they get tough and woody and they branch off, instead of just getting super tall. I also love fried okra but I found a really good okra and tomatoes recipe that is to die for on " how to feed a loon". He shares a trick to reduce the "slime" too. I just subscribed to your channel since we are in a very similar growing climate...I've only been gardening for about 3 yrs. I'm sure you can teach me a lot. I really enjoyed the garden tour today.

    I looked for a follow up video but couldn’t find one, did this work for your slug issue? Also just to side note, chickens dont naturally eat slugs because slugs are out at night when chickens are asleep. The slugs can give the chickens worms so it’s not the best treat for them. Best to stick to their natural foraging.
