I had busted my tail trying to keep my trees away from the gophers without poisoning them<\/a>. My ex significant other – who donated the liquid plumber<\/a> to my constructed wetland – was extremely annoyed that I was spending the time and effort. <\/p>\n

And all that water is now soaked into the ground in and around my orchard. <\/p>\n
