Snake anecdotes and water filter issues
- John Willis shares his experience with garden snakes and cobras in the water. He jokes about not showing the bite but seeing many snake bite incidents lately.
- Jack and Nicole discuss water filter controversies involving colloidal silver and medical misinformation cases affecting their content.
Raised Bed Construction Tips
- Use wood and pond liner in raised garden beds to save on soil volume and prolong the life of beds. Paint the wood black to protect it before assembly.
- Adding rocks or concrete chunks as fill in raised beds can increase volume without soil and benefit animals like goats.
Fire Ant Control with Orange Oil
- Use orange oil mixed with water (murder juice) to control fire ants effectively. Avoid pre-diluted orange oil as it won't work well.
- The goal is to kill ant queens to collapse the colony rather than just surface spraying.
