[sudo-discuss] cowsay Hello sudo

[Taylor Alexander]

Thanks Eric! We are pursuing a fully organic regenerative approach. This
means no biocides (except occasional targeted use of things like neem, but
no broad spectrum stuff). The focus is on building healthy soil and
avoiding monocropping. Healthy soil microbiology and proper soil management
actually really reduces weed pressure and improves crop health. Though on
this approach netting is needed to block some pests.

Some weeding is needed and I want to use the vision for harvesting too.

This is roughly the process I want to pursue:
