0:00.0 | What's going on everyone? Kevin here from Epic Gardening. I hope you're having an awesome day. I am sipping a mushroom coffee. |
0:07.7 | These are some things that I've been getting into lately as I bemoan the fact that it's very hard for me to forge for mushrooms here. |
0:13.8 | I decided to buy mushroom coffee which tastes interesting. |
0:17.5 | I'll tell you that much but that's besides the point. |
0:20.2 | We are talking today about some common fall guarding mistakes that we are all making and how to prevent them and why their mistakes in the first place. |
0:28.8 | I think is the more important thing, not so much how to prevent, but if we understand why a mistake even is a mistake then we can of course |
