I’m Willie – better known as BigWillDogg82 In The Soil.

I’ve been sharing gardening videos for a year now, showing folks how to grow what they can—whether you’re in a wheelchair, on your feet, or somewhere in between. My goal’s simple: help everybody find peace and pride in the soil.

Right now, though, my old computer is holding me back. It’s over 15 years old, patched together with upgrades, and it struggles just to keep up. Every 20-minute video turns into hours of frustration and waiting. With Windows 10 losing support, I’ve got to upgrade to a system that can handle Windows 11 and modern editing software without freezing halfway through a project.

This fundraiser will go toward a new video-editing PC that can last me years, not months—powerful enough to handle 4K footage, color correction, captions, and the creative editing that brings my videos to life.

If my videos have ever helped you grow your first plant, sparked an idea, or simply gave you a reason to smile—please consider donating or sharing this campaign. Every bit helps more than you know.

Let’s keep “In The Soil” growing strong—together.

Thank you and God bless,

– Willie (BigWillDogg82 In The Soil)
