My buddy Dave tried the bump and run on a tricky par three with water short and a false front. He ended up knocking it to two feet while I chunked two wedges into the hazard. Now he won't shut up about it (and honestly, he shouldn't).

Actually I'd argue all that fancy tech is just making crane operators lazy and overconfident. What happens when that computer glitches or the power cuts out and you're left with a manual override you barely remember how to use? Wouldn't it be smarter to just master the old school methods instead of becoming dependent on something that can fail at any moment?

Try adding a bit of gravel at the bottom of your jar before the dirt, @the_thomas - it really helps with drainage and stops the soil from getting waterlogged. I learned that lesson the hard way after my first couple setups got all moldy inside. Once you get that layer right though, it's honestly mesmerizing watching how the whole thing stays healthy on its own.

Stick to recipes with five ingredients max and you won't need a robot.

Oh yeah, absolutely. I changed one word once and my signups just disappeared (like poof, gone).
