WANT A WEED FREE GARDEN? THIS IS ALL YOU’LL NEED (WITH VIDEO)

VIDEO HERE.

Weeds can be a crippling obstacle when running a garden. They can steal nutrients and suck the life out of the soil (and the spirit out of the farmer). So per a request (which we do take video requests because my career as a musician skilled enough to take song requests did not pan out nor, if I’m being honest, ever really begin), we put together a video about how to manage weeds on the farm. Or, at least, how we manage ours.In said video you will also hear that we are doing what I am calling a “ridiculous weekly contest” on our YouTube, giving away things (arguably ridiculous ones) from the week. Will they always be ridiculous? I make no promises, but you will only know when we give away a t-shirt or a trip to T-Shirtopia (not a place) if you SUBSCRIBE to our channel! That way you will get the updates because some of these contest submissions will be time sensitive. Actually, all of them will be, so there’s your incentive!So do that, watch the video, send in your video requests, subscribe to our YouTube and let us know what you think. About anything really—science, math, agriculture, ridiculous contests, lemmings, totally your call. Especially lemmings, though. I’m very curious. - Farmer Jesse
