Yeah, you're onto something. I had a whole garden wall start to weep and sag after a rainy spring, and it was all pre-mix. It just never set right in the damp. The convenience is nice for a tiny patch job, but for anything that needs to last, it feels like a gamble. You can tweak a hand-mix on the fly for the weather, which makes all the difference. That little bit of extra time mixing saves a ton of headache later.

So what's the farm actually doing then?

Untangling cables is the worst kind of patience test.
