HOMESTEAD PODCAST: Why I'm Not Putting Robots In my Garden!

Garden Robots By Franklin Robotics

A new company has decided they want to make gardening easier for you. Franklin Robotics is developing gardening robots to help you control weeds, seek and repel pests and report back to you the results from the front line. In fact, it appears that pretty soon you won't EVER have to step foot into your garden ever again! The army of robots will march in and do it for you! WONDERFUL!

NOT!!

Folks, the reason I garden is because I like the hard work. It's therapeutic to experience the pulling of weeds so that my produce can grow to maturity. My due diligence and hard work is rewarded at the season's end when I enjoy the fruits of my labor literally! I honestly don't think this developer has ever worked a garden before in their life. If they had, they would know the joy that comes from the hard work you put into it.

You can keep your garden robots. I'll continue to work my garden the old fashioned way.
