Gen — Hah! Now it’s official. I knew humidity monitoring sounded bogus.

I once read an article about the actual costs of chicken raising. The chickens didn’t seem too expensive, but apparently the coop, bedding material, feed and chicken run can really add up.

Um, no. Nobody besides professional growers monitors their humidity.

I wonder sometimes with these kinds of articles who they think they are talking to.

Do they actually monitor their own humidity or are they just trying to hawk a poorly-planned out product?

I just read the umpteenth article the other day on how keeping chickens saves you money on eggs. The writer has obviously never kept chickens nor spoken with anyone who does.

I think this humidity person is the same. It sounds nice if you don’t actually garden.

Jim — You’re a smart guy to pick your wife over your plants! Speaking as a woman, we both know how miserable your life would be if your priorities were the other way around!

Zach — Glad I’m not the only one who has not gone as far as buying a humidity measuring device!

My house is really humid during the winter, which is the opposite of what most people experience – probably because of all the plants I have in the house. I admit that I have wanted to measure the humidity and even priced an instrument before, but it was above my price range for mere curiosity.

Humidity monitor? Ha! There’s not much can be done about humidity outdoors, so it’s a joke. Indoors I have to accommodate the humidity preferences of my wife, not my plants.
