What's up everyone? Welcome back to the podcast. It's Kevin from Epic Gardening and today I'm talking to you renters out there if you are a renter and fun fact I am a renter. I'm just sort of a long-term renter. how do you garden? You know, you might be tentative to really build something intense

and high-tech and fancy or even just expensive

because you don't want to piss off your landlord or you don't want to
