I LOVE how passionate this dude is about moss! I thought I was going to listen as I go to sleep,but no! I'm SO invested in moss now!!!
Very informative. Thank you so much for sharing!
This was actually rly wellmade and interesting. it wasnt boring at all and the slides itself were rly easy to comprehend. only the video at the start was rly laggy and the microphone was a little bad. rly nice video tho.
Recently became obsessed with moss so I’m quite happy to have found such a long, educational video on it!
Thinking of getting my bachelors in horticulture. Also a certified seed technologist.
