A Dutch Bucket system is a system used in hydroponics to sort of recycle the water. Hydroponics is growing plants in water instead of soil/compost. I googled this! You're welcome :)
"Not these sons, the BIG Sun" LOL! This video is great! Great filming 'Wife' and added information Mrs. BugGuy Bob :) First video of yours I've seen and subscribed immediately!
Growing vegetables you plan on eating in a bucket that contained rat poison is probably not a good idea, plus the pastic used for those buckets is not food grade, so there are two reason not to use. Any bakery or deli, grocery store with a bakery, will have free buckets that are free and food grade quality.
honestly the amount of shit and chemicals they spray on fields of your raw lettuce, cucumbers, corn and whatever else i wouldn't worry about a trace amounts of rat poisoning in a bucket
Eddygeek18 Generally, when you raise your own vegetables, the intent is to get away from all those chemicals, not to add, especially not rat poisoning. Most Bakery Depts in grocery stores, give large buckets away of free...I don't know anyone who would even consider feeding their family food grown in rat poisoning containers. Plastic absorbs it's contents.
TheFritz423 In reality, they should be food grade containers, the kind grocery stores use for baked goods decorating, but never, ever, anything that contained rat poisoning.
That's the difference between being a zealot and a pragmatist. I'd rather eat food that I know is prepared with common sense and an eye to quality. I don't really mind if the wood I use for my garden boxes was treated with chemicals to preserve it from rot as long as the risk to me and my family is minimal.
I would have to say the rat poison probably permeated the plastic in those buckets and soaking them constantly will likely leach the poison right into the plants, therefore slowly poisoning anyone who consumes them. The design is nice, basic hydroponics, but if you are going to do this use clean materials. BigGuy Bob...I love your garden, great use of space!
BigGuyBob: Please continue your gardening tips. Your bucket series is a welcome change from much of the trolling traffic on the Internet, including mine. Thanks for it.
Very informative video. What I do like about your system is the consistency with materials (other than the buckets, and those are so darn expensive). PVC piping looks neater and much better and I like that the nutrient feed can be switched off on a bucket if it's getting too much. Really good work.
it is for growing weed. u use non soil "dirt" and drip nuitients in there 24/7. ( Hydro-farm carries these for 52$. that includes the pump, rocks and 3part nuitients. )
Just a quick tip. When drilling PVC with a hole saw drill the pilot and then reverse the drill. The plug will not get stuck in the hole saw and it makes a cleaner hole.
Thanks for sharing. I use icing buckets from my bakery. They are free and they will give them to you. I would not use plastic buckets that had rat poison in them.
Marke Hooker that's what I use, I get them from Rita's, Dunkin Doughnuts and Baskin Robbins and corner stores that sell ice cream or Italian ice. problem is they're always white which promotes bacteria and mold which is why I'm trying to find a solution for preventing mold growth. Any suggestions? pastorwilliambarhorst@yahoo.com
His wife didn't just let him use the trampoline as a table... SHE FILMED IT TOO. Very informative video. I watched it to learn about the dutch bucket system and made my wife watch it to learn "in development" project tolerance X)
EXCELLENT!!!! Wish I had my own house and property. Im retired in an apartment... which I love. However, I miss dabbling around my own home. Such is a good life!
After sitting through 9:30 of video and still not knowing what a dutch bucket is, I read the comments, laughed hysterically but still I have no idea what a dutch bucket is..
@@600gleable IT is a form of Hydroponics, some people use 4" pipes, in this episode we are using buckets. Fair enough! They will still work. I don't like the 1/4 turn valves, I would prefer a float of some kind to allow and stop water (Nutrients), specially if they go away for a week or so. Gravity fed is the cheapest way to go.
@z LOL :D Well I'm Dutch and I've never heard of Dutch buckets (Nederlandse emmers zoals we in Nederland zouden zeggen :P) After watching this video, I still got no clue but the comments are hilarious!!
The fact that you didn't know what most of the items you used are called made it a lot more easier to understand. Great video , loved it !!! Hope HOA hasn't seen this video on RUclips though. 😁
all these people hating probably couldn't grow a cactus. it's a display model... as a grower I found it really informative. personally I don't like building my own systems though although watching this video makes me want to do it again but when all is said and done it's better to just pay more $ and get a kit designed by pros for pros, js
works great, in theory......until your hoa decides to fine you $50 for every month you leave up the fence they specifically told you not to put up. been there. nice vid.
Wow, what a great idea! Using cheap PVC, This would be great with my tiny guest house to water all the flower beds that go all the way around it, where last year after it was finished with the build and all was planted I was blown away at the costs of my water bill. I use a well that my late husband had put in with an to system that turns on at the same time of day to water all the main house grass, trees, & all my many flowers and flowering bushes. While we had county water and sewer for the house it's self, but thought that without his intelligent mind to come up for something for that area that this summer I wasn't sure if I'd be able to water them at all with that kind of water bill that's always twenty something during the winter months! So I certainly thank you for sharing your inventive idea's as I was lost with no idea that i could do something like this, but am so glad that you did, please thank your wife for sharing your ideas with us that lost our husband's in my case at a very young age! I will have to rewatch it as to get all the exact info. but I saved it just for that. God bless you and all those that are dearest to you!
Where I reside it rarely rains, you get clouds coming over but no rain. So I am in the process of building a copper pipe condenser via a peltier (thermo electric peltier cooler water system) that will cool the water being pumped through the copper pipe done as a coil. Water condenses on the coil which I will collect into a water tank. With solar the 60 watt power use will cost zero while the sun is out.
my bucket system worked great BUT I put it in the wrong place to close to my other beds so I am moving them. I use dark Buckets the don't grow moss or algae. the video was to show how I make them. my system is dark buckets. lowes Gray ones are ok but light still gets through. but black get HOT here in Texas. my system is also getting moved because I am setting up a new Fish room and the water will drain in the sump for my system feeding the plants.
Why did you even bother making it if you have no use for it in the first place mate???? A Dutch bucket is there for someone who knows what it is in the first place then finds a video like this on how to make it! to do the job Hello Mcfly!!!!
I gave my girlfriend a Dutch oven a few times. On another note. Want to get real froggy with it? Place 1, 4 ft rockwool slab, attache to the wall upright above each bucket and grow vertically off the wall...double your grow area ...common pump and pvc drip above each rock wool slab.
First thing that I noticed was babies and then the buckets everywhere with a picture of "no babies" on them. At least he didn't cover the buckets with "suffocation warning" plastic. All joking aside, looks like a full size garden in progress. Add a greenhouse and this would be awesome !
Grommets are sold listing the I.D. and O.D. so, you need to know the O.D. of the PVC pipe you are using and the diameter of the hole you drilled in the bucket to order the correct size grommet.
yeah, heard of those HOA people and I just NEVER figured out why someone would want to live under a restrictive condition like this. Just my thoughts...and they matter.
He didn’t say “I’m going to explain what a Dutch bucket is” this is a how to make a Dutch bucket system. Y’all don’t have google? I found the video very informative. Thank you for showing me how to build one. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.
Hi,under what name do you order the grumets to make fit the PVC to the bucket,I know you mention grainger but they don go by grumets is there a specific name,I have hard time finding it. Thank you and appreciate the information.
Meaning the wall is on the west side of the available growing area giving it morning exposure and afternoon shade...a very important point in Texas. You might also notice he didn't say west "facing" wall, which is totally opposite.
How can you go into a full blown how-to tutorial without even explaining what it is and what it does? "I'm going show you how to build a quantum singularity powered interdimensional gateway." **starts assembling parts**
I have a question , what are you growing in the buckets, and are they just hooked up to water hose or gutters? And at 7:51 you said it's your "West wall" ...that the sun rises over here...I think that's your East wall... Tomatoes might grow good there...
For those still curious a Dutch Bucket is a component of a fragmented media bed system. Think of it like this, a group at a restaurant sit at a large table when the bill comes the individuals each pay their portion of the bill, even though they are all part of one group, this is called dutch. Dutch buckets are media filled buckets each holding specific plants. The collection of these buckets make up the whole of a garden bed.
I just laughed and laughed in tears 'cause of comments, I really had a great (waste of) time, still donno what its all about, thnx BugGuy for this nonsensical vid. God forgive Im from Europe...
I pump my system with a Alpine PAL2100 2100GPH Cyclone Pump, 33' $104 on Amazon it has Clogged run empty and STILL keeps going I run it under water so I very Quiet
Ya but this video does not show how, or for that matter even say that. Id the water supply rain water? is it city water? is the ide to filter the water? I have no idea.
You can look at this guys other videos for context, which would tell you it's an aquaponics setup. The water supply is a giant fish tank somewhere else in his yard. These buckets will have media (rocks or hardened clay pebbles or something) with plants in them. Fish water will be constantly poured over them and the plants will extract the nutrients (fish poop) out of it filtering the water for the fish. In these systems people generally grow tilapia in the tanks and veggies in the media beds supplying them a lot of fresh food from a closed system that, once set up, doesn't cost a whole lot to operate.
Hey Bob, great video. I want to build the same, but in 1gal. buckets, to save space. What size grummets are this from Grainger? I found this on their site: Style 1 Rubber Grommet, 1/2" I.D., 1" O.D., 3/32" Panel Thickness, PK100. Is this ok?
Two items, well maybe more. I have discovered empty cat litter buckets [yellow square ones] can be had for free if you ask around. Second thing, I have had wonderful luck using 5 gallon paint strainer inserts and pearlite as a grow media. Lighter and cheaper than clay and fill to only about 3 gallons. Also, instead of the large pvc pipe and valves for each bucket, I use a fountain pump feeding drip irrigation pipe as a manifold and inserting emitters with 1/4' tubing into each bucket. I run the pump via a timer set to 30 minutes 5 times a day. It grows giant tomatoes for me in Illinois.
Pastor William Barhorst. I would be happy to after I return home in late April. It might be best if you email me again as I might not see this request then.
Greg, I did that too last year. In Texas my tomato plants grew leggy and all the bottom leaves died until I had a six foot stalk with no tomatoes. I did have nice algae growing in my perlite. I used 3 gallon icing buckets from Kroger with the paint strainers. Great luck for you....yours grew....mine died. We have hot sun here. Thanks for your comments. Phyllis
Pretty spooky using pesticide buckets but, other than that, great idea and great video! I'm guessing you won't have a problem with bugs! 😉 I'm betting we eat worse in grocery store food.
My wife gets her nightly Dutch oven treatment and doesn’t complain much. I watched in hopes of taking my game mobile unfortunately it’s not about farts! Buyer beware. 😜
HI Thanks for sharing i am going to use your method very cool can you tell me the pvc pipe that goes into the bucket is that a 40mm diameter? as i am finding it difficult to find the grommets to fit around a 40mm pvc pipe in South Africa? thanks if you could let us know?
"I use Lowes or Home Depot buckets" I use Found brand buckets exclusively. If there is a restaurant in your town, drive around back every time you pass that way. They use them regularly for Lard, Oil, pickles, etc. Construction sites (esp large development sites) toss Drywall buckets - and many other usable commodities - in those Dumpsters . I have scored as many as ten buckets (often with the lids) from a single restaurant and can honestly say I have never bought a bucket!
CLureCo Oh no no no no... you can't wash the fungicide from hydraulic oil out of polyethylene plastic. Some of those fungicides/biocides are amazingly toxic. Pick up a 5 gallon bucket which was used for dill pickles to prove it to yourself. Try the same wash you used and see if you can still smell the pickling spices. I'll bet you $100 that no matter how many washes you use, you'll still smell the spices *_clearly_*.
Regardless of what you say, or add, or whatever explanation you have; you made a video, clearly showing poisoned buckets, you must be dense. People watch videos and think if that's ok, then any old bucket will do. They may never notice or understand any explanation and these comments are not an adequate place to try and warn them.
It looks like you had 3/4 PVC to all your 3/4 PVC outlets, all with valves. I'm guessing they're mostly shut off to get flow to all the buckets? How'd you get that to work?
what is the dutch bucket used for I know it for planting but could I use gravel and not clay balls or whatever it is . if I could suggest I know nothing about filming at all but could you restate it again but each step from making it and running water to planting and seeing it grow just my suggestion but it is watchable
I love ALL the comments But. One cup of Coffee has more carcinogen's then ONE YEAR OF PEST control, FACT. Now for the Buckets USE AS DARK A BUCKET as you can algae grows om lighter buckets BLACK IS BEST. My system was Great but I have moved things in my yard so I will be setting up a new Dutch Bucket area soon, BEST WAY TO GROW TOMATOS.
This is a lie, blatant lie. Don't confuse Facts with bullshit opinions. "May 2016, a working group of 23 scientists from 10 countries reviewed nearly 500 relevant epidemiological studies and determined that coffee had no carcinogenic effect for pancreatic, female breast and prostate cancers. The risk was reduced for liver and uterine endometrium cancers, and evidence was inadequate for any conclusion to be drawn for more than 20 other cancers." Science dumbass, try it sometime. Just admit to the stupidity of using your waste poison buckets and get on with it, stop making yourself look more like an idiot.

Great idea using buckets that previously contained poison. Lol

Thank you, I was imagining all sorts of things at this point
My wife thinks I'm weird when I want to do a tiny little project that she thinks we don't need. You're amazing and so lucky to have a supportive wife!
Does she support you using the trampoline as a work bench ?

BugGuy Bob, excellent illustration. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you and God bless you and yours.
First thing you should do is explain just what a "dutch bucket" is.
that's when you fart in a bucket and stick your girlfriends head in it.
LOL. Best answer ever.
Ima, I can see why you're still single.
just what I was thinking
what the heck IS it?
@Ima Tumor laughing so hard right now. can barely type!

You could eat a chunk of rat poison and probably be okay (I wouldn't). The trace amounts in the plastic are negligible.
Eddygeek18 Generally, when you raise your own vegetables, the intent is to get away from all those chemicals, not to add, especially not rat poisoning.

Hint: when drilling out the holes in PVC, reverse the drill. This will give you a much cleaner edges
@Blind Bob what use then b bob??
your children must love you for using the trampoline as your working table
Trampoline- Working dad's workbench. I know the feeling all too well. ;) Thanks for sharing this.
filmed by wife #8. how many do you have? lol
must be a mormon
At least 8, I suppose.

wether i like to make a dutch bucket filmed by his wife depends on the wife I guess
love the dedication and know-how with your garden - keep up the great work!

This is a pest guy,, He knows how to keep bugs out of his garden,, Start with poison buckets.
Same here...instant stop of video
All jokes abt the title aside Bob,I always appreciate it if someone shares his knowledge and yes I know what a dutch bucket is
BigGuyBob: Please continue your gardening tips. Your bucket series is a welcome change from much of the trolling traffic on the Internet, including mine. Thanks for it.
Very informative video. What I do like about your system is the consistency with materials (other than the buckets, and those are so darn expensive). PVC piping looks neater and much better and I like that the nutrient feed can be switched off on a bucket if it's getting too much. Really good work.
I made a dutch oven with my wife. And i came here ONLY to write that joke.
Too much free time since retiring from tennis? 😀😀 My contribution to the one joke visit.
So, what exactly is a "Dutch Bucket"?This video was all very nice but what's the point of the whole exercise?
David Russell I'm glad it's not just me. Very informative video but... What is it exactly?
it is for growing weed. u use non soil "dirt" and drip nuitients in there 24/7. ( Hydro-farm carries these for 52$. that includes the pump, rocks and 3part nuitients. )
David Russell
Thank you you make me laugh a lot with your comment cause I am like you.
Weed weed? Like I can grow in California????? I don't even know how this showed up on my stream.... and I love growing weed!
yep, same thing I was wondering, like he should introduce the concept for a second
Grate job I'm proud of you for working so hard for your wife to have a garden god bless you both
Excellent instruction, and clever use of PVC dry fit fittings and those wonderful grommets! But I'll have to google Dutch Bucket now.
Just a quick tip. When drilling PVC with a hole saw drill the pilot and then reverse the drill. The plug will not get stuck in the hole saw and it makes a cleaner hole.
lol i said the same thing when i saw him removing the plug from the hole saw
chris coffey
I was thinking the exact same thing when he started drilling
Thanks for the tip. I always had a hard time getting the pvc out of my bits. Now I know!
That's true. He published this vid nearly 2 years ago. I only learned that seemingly simple trick last month - on YT.
These buckets are NOT made of PVC, most probably PP but I know - nobody cares.
The tubes are PVC indeed

Use rat poison in your buckets. :)
Yes thank you for sharing about the bakery buckets, Just confirmed Staters Bros has supply of free food grade buckets at noonish... YES!
all fast food places get their pickle chips in buckets like that. you could ask there.
yep...and don't eat USA arsenic rich rice either sir! I eat only organic from Food Lion...

undo.kat *When my white bucket eloped with a black*
use black
I've heard that once you've had black, you never go back.

so, does this system use rain water or is connected to domestic water supply with a backflow preventer or air gap to prevent cross contamination?
A dutch bucket system is for growing plants hydroponically.
That means growing plants in water.
There, I fixed it for you.
We had to read down this far to find out?
Im dutch.... yet never saw a bunch of buckets like this XD
do you use the bucket system for the gutter garden? How do you manage to regulate the flow?
First thing that I noticed was babies and then the buckets everywhere with a picture of "no babies" on them. At least he didn't cover the buckets with "suffocation warning" plastic.

Fish water will be constantly poured over them and the plants will extract the nutrients (fish poop) out of it filtering the water for the fish. In these systems people generally grow tilapia in the tanks and veggies in the media beds supplying them a lot of fresh food from a closed system that, once set up, doesn't cost a whole lot to operate.
Thank you j3utton!
Thank you for explaining how the sun works. . Lol
Hey Bob, great video. I want to build the same, but in 1gal. buckets, to save space. What size grummets are this from Grainger? I found this on their site: Style 1 Rubber Grommet, 1/2" I.D., 1" O.D., 3/32" Panel Thickness, PK100. Is this ok?
Where did you buy the pellets and do you mix your own nutrient mixture from scratch? Thanks!
Grainger: one of the most expensive places to just about buy anything.
That poor kid wants his trampoline back.......
Without the razor blade on it.
Nunya Bizness
Keep the blade for making lines
U have very awesome work in very simple way, great work 👍👍
mr bug ,whats a dutch buckets intendid use?
Now that I know how to make it, I need to figure out what it does.
Sounds like a trump statement
Well, I guess we know what happened to the first 7 wives. Never can have too much rat poison around.
Funniest thing read all day
My thoughts exactly!!!
Very simple to understand...thank you...I will also use the shade screen...too much sun for most plants here in s florida... thank you Bob!👍
You are involved in some pretty amazing stuff.
Two items, well maybe more. I have discovered empty cat litter buckets [yellow square ones] can be had for free if you ask around. Second thing, I have had wonderful luck using 5 gallon paint strainer inserts and pearlite as a grow media. Lighter and cheaper than clay and fill to only about 3 gallons. Also, instead of the large pvc pipe and valves for each bucket, I use a fountain pump feeding drip irrigation pipe as a manifold and inserting emitters with 1/4' tubing into each bucket. I run the pump via a timer set to 30 minutes 5 times a day. It grows giant tomatoes for me in Illinois.
Greg Lewis I'd like you to video your system my email is pastorwilliambarhorst@yahoo.com thanks
Pastor William Barhorst. I would be happy to after I return home in late April. It might be best if you email me again as I might not see this request then.
Never used hydroponic, but just realized that i have spare empty ice cream buckets, small solar panel and matching pump...might be about right.
Greg, I did that too last year. In Texas my tomato plants grew leggy and all the bottom leaves died until I had a six foot stalk with no tomatoes. I did have nice algae growing in my perlite. I used 3 gallon icing buckets from Kroger with the paint strainers. Great luck for you....yours grew....mine died. We have hot sun here. Thanks for your comments. Phyllis
Pretty spooky using pesticide buckets but, other than that, great idea and great video! I'm guessing you won't have a problem with bugs! 😉 I'm betting we eat worse in grocery store food.
Do you have the item number for the rubber grommets from Grainger that you used for the 1/2" pvc pipe. Thanks.
I really love all the uses you have for pvc pipe.
rat poison buckets :O crazy!
my thoughts too... hope they didn't get poisoned!
So unsafe....rat poison buckets....
I wouldn't use them
Could be why he is on Wife #8 lol
t rr I thought same thing. lets water are vegetable with buckets that used to have rat posion. sighhhhh can't fix stupid
So you're using buckets for gardening that contained poison at one point?
Seems like a real bad idea.
What size is the whole that you drilled? Why do you cut the bucket down to 9"?
awesome build and info!!! thanks so much for this video. you are awesome 👊✌🏼
She is your eighth wife? Yeah, I stopped calling them by their names after the fourth one.
My wife gets her nightly Dutch oven treatment and doesn’t complain much. I watched in hopes of taking my game mobile unfortunately it’s not about farts! Buyer beware. 😜
Is that water I hear running in the background? Do you recirculate the water?
Hi my Friend what are you using inside the bukkat to grow plant i mean what kind of soil???or some thing else?
Doesn't mind paying 7.00 for a pipe but won't pay 3.00 for a bucket. Fuck it, it's only rat poison absorb by the non food grade plastic.
Don Mafu
Lol lol lmfao
You've gone through 7 wives? that's enough to keep lawyers in BMWs for years.
I think they all ate vegetables from the poison buckets
He has no money so he has to grow his own food.
HI Thanks for sharing i am going to use your method very cool can you tell me the pvc pipe that goes into the bucket is that a 40mm diameter? as i am finding it difficult to find the grommets to fit around a 40mm pvc pipe in South Africa? thanks if you could let us know?
Hi, What is the name of the thing, (black fitting piece) you inserted into the hole on the bucket at 2:33
Make an american bucket next
He stopped posting 3 years ago. Wonder if he knows this video has over 3M views
he used the rat killer buckets?? Maybe ate tainted lettuce?
where you get those hooks holding the 2.5 pvc?
Thank you. Well explained. Made it simpler to understand.
You lost me at 'growing food in buckets that contained rat poison.'
lmao.. he sounded as if he might hale from SC or WV... mystery solved ;)
The poison is most likely an anticoagulant and rinses out just fine.
Hillbilly or not, he has more science than you.
now you know why his wife gets credit for filming him.
LOL!!!
you wash the buckets, that all.
Don't forget that vegetables have pesticides !!!
Good info. Thank you
I'm loving the trampoline work bench. I thought I was the only one.
This is awesome mhen. I like it
lol I don't use them I was using them for demonstration ONLY I use Lowes or Home Depot buckets
"I use Lowes or Home Depot buckets"
I use Found brand buckets exclusively. If there is a restaurant in your town, drive around back every time you pass that way. They use them regularly for Lard, Oil, pickles, etc. Construction sites (esp large development sites) toss Drywall buckets - and many other usable commodities - in those Dumpsters .
I have scored as many as ten buckets (often with the lids) from a single restaurant and can honestly say I have never bought a bucket!
You went through all of that with "demo" buckets and don't use what you just built? Right....
Soy and pickle buckets are the best! Pickle buckets smell amazing for a couple years. Chinese restaurants and sandwich shops are great sources.
CLureCo Oh no no no no... you can't wash the fungicide from hydraulic oil out of polyethylene plastic. Some of those fungicides/biocides are amazingly toxic. Pick up a 5 gallon bucket which was used for dill pickles to prove it to yourself. Try the same wash you used and see if you can still smell the pickling spices. I'll bet you $100 that no matter how many washes you use, you'll still smell the spices *_clearly_*.
Regardless of what you say, or add, or whatever explanation you have; you made a video, clearly showing poisoned buckets, you must be dense. People watch videos and think if that's ok, then any old bucket will do. They may never notice or understand any explanation and these comments are not an adequate place to try and warn them.
REALLY??! Rat poison buckets.
lol i was surprised how far i had to scroll down to find a comment like this !
It looks like you had 3/4 PVC to all your 3/4 PVC outlets, all with valves. I'm guessing they're mostly shut off to get flow to all the buckets? How'd you get that to work?
what is the dutch bucket used for I know it for planting but could I use gravel and not clay balls or whatever it is . if I could suggest I know nothing about filming at all but could you restate it again but each step from making it and running water to planting and seeing it grow just my suggestion but it is watchable
I love ALL the comments But. One cup of Coffee has more carcinogen's then ONE YEAR OF PEST control, FACT. Now for the Buckets USE AS DARK A BUCKET as you can algae grows om lighter buckets BLACK IS BEST. My system was Great but I have moved things in my yard so I will be setting up a new Dutch Bucket area soon, BEST WAY TO GROW TOMATOS.
This is a lie, blatant lie. Don't confuse Facts with bullshit opinions. "May 2016, a working group of 23 scientists from 10 countries reviewed nearly 500 relevant epidemiological studies and determined that coffee had no carcinogenic effect for pancreatic, female breast and prostate cancers. The risk was reduced for liver and uterine endometrium cancers, and evidence was inadequate for any conclusion to be drawn for more than 20 other cancers." Science dumbass, try it sometime. Just admit to the stupidity of using your waste poison buckets and get on with it, stop making yourself look more like an idiot.
BugGuy Bob you couldnt even pronounce rodenticide...
He actually has that coffee bullshit on his website. smh
We have a medical community that doesn't cure cancer, so I am not too sure they even know what a carcinogen is.
Im off to starbucks... i gots me a rat problem. Dude should be a case study.
Is it just mean or does anyone else keep saying ." That's what she said" 🤷🏾♂️
what is the media? and where did you get it?
Hello Bob. Can you share what sort of pump you are using on this setup? Hope to hear your comment. Happy farming!
