Minimum Requirements

As every gardener knows there are a minimum of two things you absolutely have to have in order to be a successful gardener.
1. a sturdy pair of boots
and
2. hydration

For me the sturdy pair of boots comes in the shape of a pair of 1992 Doc Martens. They may not look like much, all dusty, dirty and beat up but trust me under all that dirt and dust lies a pair of spit shined beauties any fly boy would envy.





Hydration (for me) comes in the form of a smooth tasting Canadian pilsener named Labatt Blue; imported daily from Canada. At about $10 a 12 pack it's just the right price so you don't cry if you happen tip one over while working in the garden. Pour a little in a dish for the grubs, a little in the dog bowl to keep him calm and a little down your throat to keep from getting parched. It's full bodied enough to quench your thirst but not so heavy as to weigh you down. The perfect hydration anytime.
