Back in April of last year I wrote a post about a custom potting soil mix that I have been using for about seven years now. I was even so bold as to call it the “perfect” mix. Of course you can’t make those types of claims without some proof, right? So in that post last year…

When you have an acre that is pretty much landscaped to its entirety in suburbia, you are bound to get a few unwanted animal guests. Most come and go without any issues. However, some just don’t know how to be a good neighbor. Raccoons always seem to make the list of terrible guests in my…

Ah yes, SUPERthrive. The most well-known snake oil in the gardening world or the champion of plant growth and transplant shock prevention? The debate has raged for decades now. Having personally read and listened to so many opinions on the product over the years, I decided to take the bull by the horns and run my own SUPERthrive…

Tourism is in its fledgling years. The history is rich. The scenery unique. The people were some of the most friendly and trust-worthy…

Water-soluble fertilizer is not cheap. I currently pay anywhere from $40 to $50 per 25-pound bag. So when my fertigation system malfunctions and wastes an entire 25-pound bag (and who knows how much water), I tend to get pissed. For the third time in two years I have woken up to a surprise the following morning…
