Well, they are mobile, just slow.
I was wondering what vegans might think.

It’s only a matter of time before a clever engineer attaches the microphone to a computer with AI that can analyze the problem and turn on the irrigation if the plants are dry. The most efficient type would be drip irrigation going directly to the plants that are signaling dryness. Maximum benefit for minimum waste of water.

I can hear my plants sometimes…when it is windy I hear they howl.

Just chatted with an old friend of mine whose bro is a plumber in MA. He said that his plumber bro had just installed his first ever marijuana growing setup all plumbed for fertilizer injections into the watering process. Drip watering directly into the pot for each plant. He and the electrician who did all of the timed “grow” lighting are thinking of starting a side business to do these setups in garages, basements, attics.
Crazy!

BTW - Plumber bro does not partake of the evil weed - at 66, just wants to cash in on his trade/skills and market demand!!
