All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Don't freak out about all exotic plants/weeds. Assign a priority to each weed based on the damage they might cause and act accordingly.
Your time is finite, make the best use of it.
And if your time is REALLY finite, then consider checking out https://farm.bot which is an open source project for making an automated farm. (They sell pre-built package if you really want to, otherwise you could print all of the parts yourself.) The neat thing about that farm bot is that the robot would crush the weed before it have the chance to spread.
This suits a production environment.
Gardening also involves wild spaces, native areas, urban trees, erosion control, riparian and gully restoration, water bodies etc. There is no robot helping out there.
And if you are doing production and all those things listed above, your available time is very finite. I know from personal experience. Perhaps robot at home, people power in the field.
Very cool though.
