We Failed At Almost Everything Today | Korean Farm Hugelkultur & DIY Hot Tub - Video

Join us for another weekend on our Korean countryside farm! Today, we’re knee deep in farm prep as we plant a new persimmon tree, prep our garden using the hugelkultur method, and attempt a DIY outdoor hot tub. Whether you're interested in life in the Korean countryside, 5도2촌 (5-do-2-chon) life, or amateur farming, there’s plenty of land prep action in this video!

And if you'd like to support our side quest, here's a link to our Kickstarter! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kimchifart/the-kimchi-that-couldnt-fart
