Suzanne breaks down the garden pest truths that most growers never hear—what really causes infestations, how to prevent them, and why common advice often falls short. We dive into beneficial insects, biological controls, monitoring strategies, and sustainable approaches that actually work. Nature DisturbedMother Nature is one weird ladyListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

A recent pilot study conducted by researchers from Texas A&M University introduced small indoor hydroponic gardens to cancer patients to assess their effects on mood, nutrition, and overall well-being Over eight weeks, participants showed measurable improvements in emotional health, reduced depression, and higher quality-of-life scores, with notable gains emerging as early as week four of the program Hydroponics offers accessibility but lacks the biological richness of soil, which contains living microbes that recycle nutrients, support plant immunity, and strengthen your own microbiome If you choose hydroponics, use organic nutrient sources like compost tea or seaweed extract, maintain airflow, limit LED exposure, and place it near natural sunlight to support plant vitality and your own well-being For immunocompromised individuals, strict cleanliness is essential when using hydroponics to prevent harmful bacteria like Salmonella or Listeria

The Klamath Mountains are a rich site of diversity in Northern California and Southern Oregon, celebrated in Michael Kauffmann and Justin Garwood's book The Klamath Mountains, a Natural History, from Kauffmann's Back Country Press.  Kauffmann's most recent book, co-written with Matt Ritter, is California Trees, was just awarded The National Outdoor Book Award, and in honor of the seeds of that book being planted by all that Back Country Press does in this world, this week we revisit the fertile Klamath Mountains and our last conversation with Michael and Justin Garwood! Enjoy! This week, we take a broader look at the mighty, now-undammed Klamath River and its namesake region, exploring the importance of knowing any place better from multiple perspectives for truly effective and durable conservation to be possible.  We're in conversation with Michael Kauffman, research plant ecologist, educator, and founder with his botanist wife Allison of the ecologically focused Backcountry Press, and Justin Garwood, Environmental Scientist for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, with a focus on fisheries. Michael and Justin have spent the better part of the last decade curating and editing a cohort of 34 expert contributors to a new, and, really, the first comprehensive, Natural History of the Klamath Mountains, one of the most biodiverse temperate mountain ranges on earth.

This week on The Veg Grower Podcast, Richard delves into the latest happenings at his allotment and kitchen garden as he navigates the challenges of a busy schedule. With limited time available, he shares exciting updates on the ongoing improvements to the allotment and addresses a listener's question about the troublesome gooseberry sawfly. Allotment Adventures Richard kicks off this episode by recounting his visit to the allotment, where recent council works are paving the way for easier access. Despite the muddy conditions, he manages to tackle some persistent problem areas, particularly around his thorny gooseberry plants. He discusses a recent break-in at a fellow allotment holder's plot, highlighting the unfortunate reality of allotment life. Gooseberry Sawfly Solutions In response to a listener's query, Richard provides valuable insights on managing gooseberry sawfly infestations. He emphasises the importance of encouraging natural predators, such as birds and ground beetles, and suggests practical methods for dealing with the pesky caterpillars, including hand removal and the use of protective fleece. Seed of the Month Back in the kitchen garden, Richard reveals this month's seed selection: aubergines!

Lynda Hallinan joins Jesse to share her gardening tips.

Summer has now arrived in the driest state in Australia, and with the season comes hot weather, which can be a challenge for SA gardeners. Sophie Thomson says mulch is the answer.

Most gardeners are aware that certain plants appear to be great for pollinators. Pollination is important for the reproduction of plants, and it comes in many different ways. We often just sit and watch the spectacle unfold as we have a cup of tea in front of our shed. Pollination is done through ABIOTIC ways: (wind movements) or through BIOTIC techniques (Mostly insects: bees, flies, butterflies, moths, beetles and birds). It makes sense that early flowering plants rely on early pollinating insects. Dandelions are a good example; they often use small native bees to do the job. By the way, about one-third of New Zealand's plants are wind-pollinated (think grasses and the various plants that cause hayfever). Here's a line-up of all sorts of pollinators in the group of insects. For the flowers pollinated by insects, especially bees, it's interesting to note that they have different colour vision to humans. Blue, green, violet and ultra-violet are the key colours. The blue flowers that will certainly bring in the pollinators are Ageratum, Chatham Island Forget-Me-Not, Cornflower, Delphinium, Echinops, and Eryngium, with standards such as Salvia, Phacelia, Campanula and Tweedia. When birds are getting involved in pollination (just under 10%), you'll find that Tui and Bellbirds are often at the front of the line, with silvereyes waiting for their turn. Kowhai, Flax, Rata species, and special recipients of bird beaks, such as Kaka Beak and Mistletoe are the lure for birds. Bellbird and tui with orange pollen and red flowers While most insects see things in blue, violet, and ultra-violet spectrum, birds see red and yellow. Blackbirds also see red flowers: They love to “cause trouble” in the Feijoa trees with heaps of red flowers by violently ripping the flowers to pieces… The most efficient way to pollinate the crop of feijoas!!!

This week on Cultivating Place, we look towards the heart of the thankful season in memory of the enormous, fierce, and grateful soul of Rabbi Arthur Waskow, who passed from this world on October 20th, fighting for the beauty of the world right up to the end. In his honor, we revisit our 2021 conversation with him, focusing on the sacred in the everyday and in the seasonal.  Rabbi Waskow was the co-founder of The Shalom Center in Philadelphia, which equips spiritual leaders with the awareness and skills needed to lead a "transformed and transformative Judaism that can help create a world of peace, justice, healing for the earth, and respect for the interconnectedness of all life."  A long-time activist for social and environmental justice, Rabbi Waskow is also the author of Seasons of our Joy, which brings reverent renewal to the ancient agricultural and season-based celebrations of the Abrahamic religions.  Enjoy, and give thanks for such souls in this world.

In this episode, I talk about something that we don't address enough: the hard work of Permaculture is boring. It's not heroic. It doesn't make for a great YouTube short or video to add to your story. The pictures that come out of it are rarely art, or something you'd want to post to Instagram. I hope this episode reminds you why we show up day after day, week after week, for the small, routine tasks of permaculture. If you found this helpful, share it with a friend who might be struggling on their journey right now, so it can be a bit of encouragement to keep going, even when it's tedious.  Until the next time, spend each day showing up and putting in the work, as you care for Earth, yourself, and each other.

Health and nutrition start with caring for the soil. Food can and should be our medicine. Dr. Robin "Buz" Kloot of the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health and Soil Health Labs shares his perspective on connections with soil health and public health with Eric, Mary, and Jeff in this episode. Buz reflects on his own research but also points out what he has heard from farmers and ranchers he has worked with through the years. Building on the idea that eating is an agricultural act and food can be medicine, Buz would like health professionals, agronomists, soil scientists, farmers, and ranchers to collaborate more on soil and public health research and education.In addition to your own research and study of soil and human health, Buz recommends reading Fred Provenza's book Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us about Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom. As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning and to follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the soil covered -- Cover crops are our friends and allies; avoid bare fallows;2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage as much as possible in your field or garden;3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil; and4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation, high-quality food for soil and plants, farm enterprises, and livestock integration. The 4 The Soil team recently commissioned a new set of art posters to help people remember the four principles of soil health and celebrate that “We Are 4 the Soil!”.  If you are personally or professionally interested in printing and framing the soil health artwork, the 16” by 20” posters are available for purchase and printing as single posters or a set of five posters.If you have questions about soil and water conservation practices, natural resource concerns, and soil health principles and practices to restore the life in your soil, call or visit a USDA Service Center, a Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District office, or your local Virginia Cooperative Extension office.  4 the Soil: A Conversation is made possible with funding support from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and The Agua Fund.

Susan Bernauer, author of Gardener's Journal: Journey into the World of Gardening, shares how anyone can begin growing plants, whether on a small balcony or in a large backyard. She explains that gardening is less about expertise and more about curiosity, patience, and observation. Her book offers practical guidance for beginners, covering seed starting, soil care, composting, and how to record plant notes to remember what works year after year. She emphasizes that gardening can be both educational and therapeutic, helping people reconnect with nature and relieve stress.In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Susan talks about how gardening evolved from a childhood pastime into a lifelong passion focused on shade gardens and succulents. She explains how to choose plants that fit your space and lifestyle, avoid common mistakes, and turn your gardening into a creative project instead of a chore. Her spiral-bound version of the Gardener's Journal even allows you to cut out pages and create a custom notebook to track your plants, making it a hands-on guide for personal growth through gardening. Quotes: “If you're caring for a plant, you're already a gardener. It's about learning and trying, not perfection.” “Gardening is a journey. Even advanced gardeners don't know everything. You learn through trial and error.” “When life gets stressful, working in the garden helps you relax and reconnect with yourself.” “Write down what works for you. Next year, you'll be ahead instead of starting over.” Resources: Connect with Susan Bernauer on Facebook Get "Gardener's Journal: Journey into the World of Gardening" Amazon

Autumn is here on the Talking Heads podcast - as the last vestiges of Summer in the garden dodge the wet and windy weather while trying to give the last hurrah before that inevitable but pleasantly seasonable slide into the hibernation of winter. But gardeners never sleep so Lucy and Saul are still out and about in their plots plying the horticultural trade they both love. So join them both for more horti-waffle and insights into the life of the modern, professional gardener.Balancing clients, weather, school runs and shifting workloads is all part and parcel of the professional gardener's lifestyle, so Lucy lets us listen in on her teabreaks this week to reveal exactly what her diary involves. Whether she's judging tide times on Mersea Island, dodging rainclouds in her village or dashing across town to help out her smallholder parents, there's never a dull moment and each week poses different challenges. But, of course, there's always time for a much-loved biscuit (or mince pie, or jam doughnut, or slice of lemon drizzle, or....).Instagram link:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensLinkedIn link:Saul WalkerIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

“Ecological restoration is no longer a nicety, it's a necessity,” proclaims the Blackland Collaborative, a group working to help alter cities so that they are biodiverse and inclusive, and helping heal human communities while restoring vulnerable species. Bridging science and design, the Collaborative brings people and nature home; and they believe in humans' capacity to improve and protect. John Hart Asher is a co-founder and senior environmental designer with the Blackland Collaborative. And he understands cultivating place well as a process of constantly practicing the art of becoming a cultivator. As we continue this month's focus on ecological horticulture as it is practiced across the country, we welcome John Hart to the program this week. His work is currently featured in two new ecological-minded books: The Gardens of Texas, by Pam Penick, and Gardenista's delicious and catalyzing newest title, The Low Impact Garden, by Kendra Wilson, photographed by Caitlin Atkinson. John Hart has over 13 years of experience designing and building functional ecosystems within urban conditions. He has conducted basic research in ecological engineering, ecological restoration, and land management. His work includes: tall grass prairie restoration in an urban riparian corridor, the George W. Bush Presidential Center's Laura W. Bush Native Texas Park, native prairie green roof design, residential pocket prairies, sustainable roadsides, and green infrastructure. Since 2019, John Hart has also served as a host of the PBS program Central Texas Gardener – and yes, he's got a pocket prairie in his garden! Join us! Cultivating Place now has a donate button!

What does it mean to truly love the natural world? And what happens when we start listening deeply to it? In this episode, we sit down with author and activist Maria Rodale to explore the themes in her latest book, Love, Nature, Magic: Shamanic Journeys into the Heart of My Garden.A lifelong advocate for organic living and regenerative agriculture, Maria has carried forward her family's legacy as the former CEO and Chairman of Rodale Inc., helping to pioneer the organic movement. In Love, Nature, Magic, she blends memoir and environmental reflection to invite us into a relationship with the living world that's grounded in curiosity and deep mutual respect.Together, we talk about what it means to communicate with plants (literally!), the balance between spirituality and science, and how embracing the so-called “weeds” in our lives can lead to unexpected growth. Maria also shares her perspective on leadership, personal responsibility, and the simple yet radical act of slowing down to reconnect with nature.It's an inspiring, funny, and thought-provoking conversation with one of the leading voices in the movement toward a more conscious, regenerative world.Show NotesMaria RodaleLove, Nature, Magic: Shamanic Journeys Into the Heart of My Garden by Maria RodaleOrganic Manifesto: How Organic Food Can Heal Our Planet, Feed the World, and Keep Us Safe by Maria RodaleMaria's Newsletter on SubstackDoug Tallamy's Hub (Homegrown National Park)Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest by Suzanne SimardKeywords: Maria Rodale, Love Nature Magic, biophilia, biophilic design, organic living, regenerative agriculture, gardening, plant communication, environmental spirituality, sustainability, nature connection, leadership, mindfulness, ecological wellness, Doug Tallamy, pollinators, soil health, holistic living, curiosity, slowing down, conscious living, reconnecting with nature, environmental storytelling, personal growth, resilience, intentional livingBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.
