Part 4/9:
Dog Man shares some challenges of maintaining a successful garden, such as pests and animals. He mentions the need to research pest deterrents, especially for bugs that threaten leafy greens like lettuce, and plans to plant marigolds or other flowers that attract beneficial pollinators like bees. He also notes issues with rabbits nibbling on his plants and deer attacking his tomatoes, leading him to consider installing barriers or fencing to protect his crops.
He reflects on past gardening mishaps, like not leaving enough space for his mower to navigate his garden beds, and vows to adjust his planting layout to facilitate ease of maintenance. His focus remains on growing quality produce, experimenting with dehydration, and possibly repurposing past harvests into seasoning blends.
