Arrived at Factor e Farm today. Got some food and supplies from Dungy's and Dollar General. Purchased 2 boxes of probiotic formula for the HabLab septic tank. Added a full box to the tank. System should get a half box every month. Created a public expense list, with public commenting enabled, here.
