I've pruned, fertilized, netted, harvested 5 times (~3 kilos each time). Now tired of the bird battle, we remove the nets to let everything have a bite. There are still so many that the birds can't eat them all, come glean if you want.

If cots in an old gym aren't your cup of tea, we have a spot. It's even really close to the evac center, where other resources will likely be available. Please share

I gu- I gotta touch grass, mang
No no that <-grass,>-that grass
WNC sod farms have some remnant Canebrakes, which send rhizomes straight into the heavily fertilized ag product. On the edges where the farm equipment turns, rhizomes get exposed, making propagation easy.
