Most of the video revolves around one guy who farms neighbourhood lawns in Colorado.

Clever idea to turn your yard into a little garden. Everyone in my family likes to grow tomatoes in our backyards. Store ones taste awful. I can’t like them no matter how hard I try.

Readers beware -
That comment is linked to a web site that sells products.
Normally I just treat any and all comments like that as spam, but I’ve never seen spam like this.
Besides, urban agriculture -related products are a lot different from porn sites, gambling sites, pharma. ads, and the other wares that usually are promoted through spam.
Anyway, basically I’m treating that comment as an exception.
