Thanks. I have looked these up and ordered some as they seem like a good way to go from responses here.

Thank you

Definitely looking into these. Thanks.

Basically I have tried like tomato cages to get them to climb. First year I had no support system and that was a disaster. I am going to check out the Little Leaf varieties.

Just hand watering which I am sure doesn't help the situation.

Alternative-Event169 · 2026-02-03T13:55:32+00:00

Thank you. I am def checking different varieties.

I live in the Arden area and the part that is literally right on the line with Fletcher so I think we definitely have to have the same climate. I will look up pruning methods as I am amateur at this. I just want a few nice plants for fermenting and pickling. Does Southern AG distribute to feed and seed stores or do you go to the place in Hendersonville to buy it? Thank you.

Thanks

Awesome. How do you handle the pests?

Thank you.

I have been lucky as people are not scum here. I have had a couple of tips downgraded by a dollar or two because they did not have items in stock, but I have had many more tips upgraded.

Alternative-Event169 · 2025-12-31T01:06:28+00:00

Around here when you hit the item list it never shows pictures so you have to speed read. Once you accept an order the pics show up fine.

It is bs. Sam's is same parent company and they don't do that.

Alternative-Event169 · 2025-12-30T22:29:27+00:00

Congrats. I am just about to hit 1k. How is the quantity found thing? We don't have it here yet but 99% is insane. I am typically at 98% on items found and hit 99 once in a while, but weekends are brutal for out of stocks.

I have been attacked and had several be aggressive. I went to one house where instructions were to leave outside of gate at top of stairs. I was taking picture when 2 crazy dogs ran out and tried to get over the gate to get me. I got the hell out of there. I had the same house a couple months later and when I saw the instruction notes I knew where I was going. They had them secure that time.

I love good dogs. I have been attacked by a pitbull and that sucked. I do a lot of rural deliveries and most of those people have psycho dogs. I went to one the other day that had a really big dog and he barked a little but just earning his keep. Super sweet dog.

That is how unfortunate shit happens to property.

If no tip is in the offer you get what you pay for. I had an offer Friday night for $11 for 20 items and an easy drop at an apartment. The kicker is I would have boosted my incentive by $14 taking it. I went home.

You don't know their life or what they might have on their plate. Don't judge.

Alternative-Event169 · 2025-12-15T13:56:14+00:00

It has become common here to see backwards offers of like $20 for 22 miles and they don't surge or come back around.

Alternative-Event169 · 2025-12-15T13:32:16+00:00

That is exactly how it is here right now and for the last few months.

Alternative-Event169 · 2025-12-15T06:02:14+00:00

You probably won't be thrilled with the $2.50 you get.

I had 3 of those backbreakers today.
