Hello, I have rented a plot (named ZoeLand) and would like to use it as an opportunity to treat existing boots / ants / residents.

Here's how it works! Take a picture / video of yourself at ZoeLand (by yourself or as a group) and post it here!

At the end of the month, $300 will be split equally among the ants and boots who showed up in the pictures in that month. Showing up multiple times does NOT get you more!

There will also be more budget to make the place more enticing (like a picnic table?). If you have ideas message me!

If you wish to participate please message me your PayPal/Venmo/ however you wish to receive coin.

This is interesting. Is there any info on where this place is? Can you elaborate on the splitting up of the money equally between all the ants and boots?

Checked on the little sprouts.. they have disappeared.. I didn’t know that could happen.. maybe it was too hot this past week, so they walked away.. I will be implementing new techniques to provide a cozier home to the next seedlings (water, shade, etc)..!

all joking aside, the beautiful sign that M made is now installed.. thank you Paul for the wood and tools to make this possible!
