  1. Pat-regarding urine products- I have used them in a rosebud "test tube" , cant remember the proper name, stuffed with a cottonbal, then filled with coyote urine. The "test tube" thing has a cap that allows the rose stem to penetrate-I pushed a short string thru it and hung the device in bushed and on my fence. Worked well at keeping rabbits out of my garden, and rain was not an issue…..the larger problem was remembering to refill them!

  2. Man oh man! I watched this video last month and came back to refresh myself on the plethora of interesting information. The old ball and chain says I have "an insatiable love of sweet potatoes." It's true! And oh how I love Living Web Farms! This is one of my favorite videos so far. It's excellent. Thank you!

  3. I am down in southwest Florida and use sweet potatoes as a groundcover with the added bonus of lots of sweet potatoes. This year I harvested all purples,whites,yellows,orange and purple skin with white insides. Thanks for the amazing video. Sweet potatoes are a fantastic permaculture plant.
