My Best Friend in the Garden
You’d think my best friend in the garden would be my dog… but honestly? It’s ChatGPT.
I’ve used it for just about everything—from planning my entire succession planting schedule, figuring out the best varieties for my growing zone, and dialing in DIY soil amendments… to troubleshooting pest problems, figuring out how to dry chewing tobacco, curing potatoes, and even making my own homemade chicken feed with no corn or soy.
I’ve learned how to use shade cloth, freeze peppers, dry sunflowers, grow mint without it taking over, and set up the right system to cure garlic, onions, and tobacco—all by bouncing ideas and questions off ChatGPT. I’ve even mapped out my vertical trellising systems, built better composting methods, and fine-tuned how I preserve harvests (by freezing, fermenting, or dehydrating).
Farm Takeaway: Don’t be afraid to lean into tools that make you better. ChatGPT has been like having a seasoned farmer on speed dial—no ego, no nonsense, just solid advice when I need it. If you’re growing food, trying to raise chickens, or just want to learn as you go, it’s one of the best resources I’ve used.
