A complement to our first fungus gnat episode - I’ve learned more so here it is :)

Learn a bit about desert soils! This is kind of an excerpt from our upcoming soil mixing class. Kind of. Also, apologies for the end of the episode, was trying to turn my alarm off and hit stop on the recording. This silly app doesn’t allow you to restart a recording, so here’s where we end 🤣
