Great video on an important weed controll issue. I was able to hear you just fine. Audio was good on my phone.

I planted edible peanuts (bought from organic whole food store) many year's ago (25 years) and now have it growing like lawn. It has a similar growing habit (sending out runners and sprawling) as it grows in hard clay-based soil, not mounded as it's grown commercially.. I rarely harvest it as the peanuts are so hard and deep to dig out. Grown for the same reasons as here. I have had to weed other grasses for some time but now is great weed suppressent. I think the 'perennial peanut' is called Pinto peanut in my area by permies. Regular peanut does not grow as quickly as the perenial peanut but does eventually cover well and here in the subtropics doesn't die off in winter

Very cool! I have wondered how actual peanut compares.

[@laihanohano307]

where do you get perennial peanut?

[@ainabearfarm8075]

If you let me know what area you live in, I can probably make a recommendation in the vicinity 🤙

@@laihanohano307I’m not so familiar with Oahu but I would try Frankie’s Nursery. If they don’t have it they might know where you can get some.
