Farm-A-Yard Podcast — It’s a movement… have ya heard?

Welcome to Week 4 of our Grow It Don’t Mow It – 30 Days to Starting a Successful Yard Farm!  This week is all about Activated Water.

Should we have our water tested? What is activated water? How do you activate water? Is rainwater better than what comes out of the tap?  Is water more than wet? How do we apply these concepts to improve our garden? How can water get wetter? What is a vortex and implosion all about?  Fascinating podcast you won’t want to miss!
