What's going on everyone Kevin from Epic Gardening here? We're back again with

Stacy Murphy of Grow Your Own Vegetables.org and the upcoming Superfood

Summit which I'll be doing a pretty long presentation on growing seven different micro-green.

Some of them are pretty basic and some of them are pretty out there and experimental.

So stay tuned for that and you can always look at that in the podcast description if you're interested in tuning into that. But today we're talking about why sometimes doing

a DIY garden project or garden technique or strategy might not be a good idea. You know I'm a big or intuitive thing and just really curious Stacy what you have to say as far as why

shouldn't I DIY something. Awesome yeah and I'm a huge fan as well I'm one of

those people who I learn as I go so I totally get it. I like

the process of learning which is what I think a lot of do-it-yourselfers like as well. So one of the big things that happens with do it yourself is that you go into Google or YouTube and hello giant universe of information.

And once you enter the Google universe you

might get 17 different perspectives about how to do one thing.

And oftentimes when you see that information,

they haven't really necessarily told you

the underlying assumptions why that is what works for them.

Oftentimes, it's just a description of of here's what I did and you can follow along with me.

And so what happens is you say, oh that looks simple, I'll try that, but what you didn't know

is that that person lived in a totally different climate or

that person had access to a totally different resource than you did or they

have a different value in terms of how what they value in the environment or and so what happens is you

Follow us a strategy blindly without really understanding the bigger implications

Sure and things that come to mind for me is when someone tells you how to grow something,

but they don't tell you their conditions.
