Potato bugs, electricity and 811! Join my brother David and I as we talk about childhood memories squishing “potato bugs”, more properly referred to as the Colorado Potato Beetle, along with having our own gardens as kids. All this leads to a discussion on things to consider when selecting a location for your garden. Things to consider:
1) Utilities
2) Surroundings
3) Sun exposure
4) Water source
5) Ease of access
6) Air flow
7) Soil type
