Bạn đã bao giờ bóc lá trên một bó cải xoăn tự trồng tại nhà để phát hiện ra hàng trăm con bọ nhỏ có vảy chưa? Đó là những con rệp và việc nhìn thấy chúng sẽ khiến bạn phải vứt bỏ cải xoăn đi và thay vào đó là đặt bánh pizza. […]
After we featured this Plant-Filled Industrial New Zealand Loft earlier this year, we’ve had lots of requests to turn it into a full house tour.
