Cardboard Miracle

I need at least 66,500 square feet of cardboard to suppress Bermuda and Johnson grass.

Disturb these grasses and they return with evolutionary defiance.

Normal people hear any one of these sentences and reconsider their life choices.

With Bibi in mind, I instead drove hundreds of miles, from WalMart in Tulsa, Aldi in Sand Springs, Phelps in Mannford, - including Lowe’s in Stillwater, OK — hunting cardboard.

The Lowe’s manager Mark McNiel, did the math.

Then he told ME how much cardboard I needed.

Just like that!
Complimentary delivery scheduled.

And honestly, when those pallets of cardboard arrived, it felt like Christmas.

To buy that much cardboard would have cost at least $6,000. USD!

People think farming is mostly about plants.

It is not.

It is mostly:
logistics,
weather,
prayer,
and convincing strangers to help you move large amounts of oddly specific material.

Also, I now evaluate stores based on cardboard potential.

Perspective.
