Picture of Layton Lamsam

Brief Biographical Sketch:

I grew plants with my grandmother when I was small, and as I grew, I took it up as my own hobby. The hot sun and rocky soil of Oklahoma where I learned to garden was a battlefield unforgiving to mistakes. I look forward to incorporating advanced methods into my family's garden for increased crop yields, decreased grow times, and decreased material input.
