Shahar Azulay has had many opportunities to get into tech throughout his life. He started digging into cyber security when he was 17 years old, where he learned the basics of deep tech that he still utilizes to this day. He's a startup guy, and has had the opportunity to be the first employee many times over. Outside of tech, he's married with 3 boys and a dog. He lives in the country side, and loves to spend time in nature and cook, as he was a semi professional chef at one point.Shahar and his co-founder are veterans when it comes to using observability platforms for their systems. They wanted to build a platform that balanced the needs of the system, with a lower cost of a fully functional platform.This is the creation story of Groundcover.SponsorsRapyd CloudSpeakeasyQA WolfSnapTradeLinkshttps://www.groundcover.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/shahar-azulay-54156bb4Our Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com* Check out Vanta: https://vanta.com/CODESTORYSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Trying to grow grass in the deserts or other dry places can seem like a losing battle. As a result, many people who live in such climates will use rocks, gravel, or man-made materials as groundcover instead of grass. 尝试在沙漠或其他干燥的地方种草似乎是一场失败的战斗。 因此，许多生活在这种气候下的人会使用岩石、砾石或人造材料作为地被植物，而不是草。 But there are several tough, low-growing groundcovers that perform well in dry climates. They may not be able to survive the foot traffic that fake grass can. But they appeal to environmentally helpful insects and in many cases make your property look better. 但有几种坚韧、生长缓慢的地被植物在干燥气候下表现良好。 它们可能无法像假草那样承受人流。 但它们会吸引对环境有益的昆虫，并且在许多情况下会让您的财产看起来更好。Desert marigold, or Baileya multiradiata, is one such plant. The groundcover has pretty yellow blossoms and silver leaves. They bloom in the spring. The plant requires very little water. However, it lives only one season. People who want desert marigold must plant it every year. 沙漠万寿菊（Baileya multiradiata）就是这样的一种植物。 地被植物有漂亮的黄色花朵和银色叶子。 它们在春天开花。 该植物需要很少的水。 然而，它只活一个季节。 想要沙漠万寿菊的人必须每年种植它。 Gold Mound lantana, known as Lantana camara, is a bushy plant usually just over a half-meter tall. Its yellow flowers bloom on and off from spring through autumn and it has low to moderate water needs. 金丘马缨丹，又名马缨丹，是一种浓密的植物，通常只有半米多高。 它的黄色花朵从春季到秋季断断续续地绽放，对水的需求量较低至中等。 Its relative, trailing lantana, or Lantana montevidensis, grows horizontally. Its purple blossoms brighten the garden year-round. The groundcover has moderate water needs. It favors full sunlight but can survive partial sunlight. 它的亲戚，蔓生马缨丹，或称蒙特维登马缨丹，水平生长。 它的紫色花朵全年照亮花园。 地被植物对水的需求适中。 它喜欢充足的阳光，但也能在部分阳光下生存。 Trailing indigo, or Dalea greggii, is another groundcover that grows well in dry climates. The long-lived plant has blue-gray leaves and pink or purple pea-shaped flowers. It blooms from spring through summer in full or partial sunlight. The plant, which can spread to three meters wide, has very low water needs but could use some watering while in bloom. 拖尾靛蓝（Dalea greggii）是另一种在干燥气候下生长良好的地被植物。 这种长寿的植物有蓝灰色的叶子和粉红色或紫色的豌豆形花朵。 它从春天到夏天在全部或部分阳光下开花。 这种植物可以蔓延至三米宽，对水的需求量非常低，但在开花时可以进行一些浇水。Silverbush, also known as Convolvulus cneorum, is a fast-growing evergreen that, in the desert, blooms for about two weeks in spring. The 60-centimeter-tall plant has yellow-centered white flowers with silver leaves. 银灌木，也称为新旋花，是一种快速生长的常绿植物，在沙漠中，春季开花约两周。 这种植物高 60 厘米，开着黄色中心的白色花朵和银色的叶子。 White evening primrose, Oenothera caespitosa, is usually covered in blooms from spring through summer. But they are only open from late afternoon into morning. The white blossoms develop to light pink, and then darken to deep pinkish-purple. The plant has moderate water needs and performs best in full sun to part shade. 白色月见草（Oenothera caespitosa）通常从春季到夏季都盛开。 但它们只从下午晚些时候开放到早上。 白色的花朵逐渐变成浅粉色，然后变成深粉色紫色。 该植物对水的需求适中，在充足的阳光和部分遮荫下表现最好。Early spring is the best time to plant these groundcovers in desert climates. 早春是在沙漠气候下种植这些地被植物的最佳时机。 Gently loosen the soil to about 30 centimeters deep, removing stones and other hard material to permit a clear path for roots. Give some space between the plants. Add mulch or wood chips to keep soil temperature even, prevent weeds, and help hold water.轻轻地松土至约 30 厘米深，清除石头和其他坚硬物质，为根部留出畅通的路径。 在植物之间留出一些空间。 添加覆盖物或木片以保持土壤温度均匀，防止杂草生长并帮助保持水分。 The best time of day to water the groundcovers is in the morning. To avoid root rot, water the groundcover only when, and as soon as, the soil is completely dry. 一天中给地被植物浇水的最佳时间是早上。 为了避免根部腐烂，只有在土壤完全干燥时才给地被植物浇水。
Hello, and welcome back to This Person I Met!

Ground cover and stubble retention in cropping enterprises is really important for managing soil erosion in western NSW. Dust storms caused by wind erosion not only have a big impact on agricultural productivity but also on towns and cities where dust is quite literally a dirty word. So in this episode we'll talk to a soil conservationist about how to avoid those dust storms and we'll hear from a farmer who's trying a few innovative things like planting into a dry river bed to manage his groundcover and look after his soils.

In this episode WMG Comms Officer Simon Kruger & Mixed Farming Systems Officer Melanie Dixon are joined by Geoff Moore, Research Scientist at the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development. When grasshopper issues first arose in the 2021 season in the West Midlands region, Geoff was the first respondent on the ground with the WMG team and our affected members. Geoff specialises in legumes, pastures, livestock feedbase and groundcover among many things, and chats with us as part three in our series focusing on positive producer responses to 2021 seasonal grasshopper and groundcover issues. After monitoring the areas of greatest risk in our region and producing several case studies investigating the response to grasshopper, groundcover and soil erosion, Geoff is able to provide some more background on both producer and department response, as well as detailing several key short, mid and long term tactical and strategic options for dealing with groundcover issues.Geoff and DPIRD have kindly provided some links to extra resources for producers who may be interested in the topics covered during the conversation or those that are hoping to mitigate similar problems in this and coming seasons.Useful Links:https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/pastures/stabilising-sandy-pasture-paddocks-low-groundcoverTagasaste management with Bob Wilson Pasture Cropping - An introduction to the concept and EverCrop project Pasture Cropping - Experiences of innovative growers Pasture Cropping - Results from the Moora focus site with David Ferris Key steps for successful establishment of sub-tropical grasses with Phil Barrett-Lennard Identifying sub-tropical grass seedlingsSub-tropical grass establishment - machinery demonstrationProducer perspectiveAssessing sub-tropical grass establishmentSaponins and grassesKetosis in cattle with Marion SeymourSupport the show

Groundcover The term ground cover is a funny one. When I first heard it I went straight to the idea of a carpet on the ground… not the natural type either. When you first meet the ground cover genie, he asks you, “What are you looking for?” Stunned and unsure about this blue cloud of vapor that has appeared in your yard, you and he eventually get to yarning about the various functionalities a specific species of grass blade can wield over the great waterways in time. You relay thoughts as to how some plants can be grown strategically and fruitfully, found on the margins of fields that fluctuate w/ fire, coaxing the fauna found nearby into system beneficiaries. !*Biodiversity blossoms. - You visualise. You speak about the trees as they fall upon the land at scales larger than life itself… The unidentified and seemingly real cerulean spectre ultimately wants you to remember just one thing… …“Soil on which you stand must be covered. Shaded. Protected from the great light in the sky.” - Bellows the… Genie? “MATTER NOT DOES SPECIES!” The psycho continues to leer. *Righto mate, calm down. I hear ya “Seems legit.” You say. And in an instant. Your eyes open to the possibility of the soil and its needs for support. You rub your dome and hold that thought. It is now with you. For good. … And it ought. -------- @mr.betteridge --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/solarpunkpermaculture/message

Important Events April 27, 1902 Today is the birthday of the renowned and innovative 20th-Century landscape architect Thomas Church. Known as the “Dean of Western Landscape Architects” and the “Father of the California Garden,” Thomas - or Tommy as he was known to his clients and friends - is remembered for personalized landscape design. His 1955 book aptly titled Gardens are for Peopledrew on Tommy’s belief that gardens are personal and needed to meet his clients' needs. Tommy wrote, “We're all different - and our gardens and what we expect our land to do for us will vary as much as our demands and our personalities. No one can design intelligently for you unless he knows what you need, what you want, and what you are like.” Tommy also wrote, “The only limit to your garden is at the boundaries of your imagination.” A pioneer of Modernism in the garden, Tommy’s approach to design came to be known as the “California Style.” Tommy’s California Style included elements that seem pretty standard today: raised beds, low-maintenance, lots of groundcovers, timber decking, kidney-shaped pools, places to sit, clean lines, and asymmetry. Tommy once wrote, “Style is a matter of taste. Design is a matter of principles.” Tommy’s portfolio was comprised of over 2,000 private gardens, but he did some work for Berkely and Stanford and the University of California, Santa Cruz, where Tommy famously said, “Gentle be the hand that lays upon the land.” In addition to his private and university work, Tommy designed the gardens for Sunset Magazine after the headquarters moved to Menlo Park in 1952. Tommy designed the Sunset Garden to encircle an acre of lawn. The trees and plants represent the 17-State circulation area of Sunset Magazine and are grown in four distinct gardens. For instance, there was a dry Arizona desert garden and a wet garden representing the Northwest. Today at Sunset, the redwood trees that were planted from five-gallon cans are now 100 feet tall. In all, there are over 300 varieties of trees, shrubs, and perennials in the Sunset gardens. The annual flower beds are replanted three times a year. Now two aspects of gardening - the amount of expertise the owner had and the amount of free time available by the owner - were both taken into account by Thomas Church. His obituary said, “[Tommy] thought it preposterous to create a garden with exotic fragile plants that need tending for busy people who just like to relax in a garden. He wanted these people to have a tranquil place they could use and enjoy without its upkeep being an albatross around their necks Thus because each garden came from his understanding of its owners - none of them look the same though they have common elements.” Thomas Church wrote, “When your garden is finished I hope it will be more beautiful than you anticipated, require less care than you expected, and have cost only a little more than you had planned.” April 27, 1952 On this day, The Knoxville News-Sentinel published a little article about a short, six-petaled, cherry-red, and white species tulip, known as Tulip clusiana - commonly called the Persian Tulip or the Peppermint Tulip. “Pretty and charming is Tulip clusiana, named for the great botanist Clusius, who is said to have grown it in his garden in Flanders. It is known to have been cultivated for more than 300 years. Louise Beebe Wilder says of it, “Clusius reported that it was sent to Florence in 1606 with the statement that it had come from Persia. Parkinson knew it as the early Persian tulip. Sir Daniel Hall says it is now apparently wild from Chitral (“Ch-eh-trull”) (in Pakistan) to Spain... Reginald Farrer says it is frequently found in old olive orchards about Cannes (“Can”)” [Now the] buds are long, slender, and pointed with broad streaks of rose-red up the backs of the white petals. Because of this effect, it is sometimes called the radish tulip. Other names are candy tulip and lady tulip.” Clusiana tulips open with the sun and close at night. Unearthed Words When the first fine spring days come, and the earth awakes and assumes its garment of verdure, when the perfumed warmth of the air blows on our faces and fills our lungs, and even appears to penetrate to our heart, we feel vague longings for undefined happiness, a wish to run, to walk at random, to inhale the spring. ― Guy de Maupassant, (“Ghee-du-mo-pah-sawnt”) The Complete Short Stories of Guy de Maupassant, Part One Grow That Garden Library Lawn Gone! by Pam Penick This book came out in 2013, and the subtitle is Low-Maintenance, Sustainable, Attractive Alternatives for Your Yard. In this book, Pam Penick - one of my favorite garden bloggers - shares practical and down-to-earth advice for replacing a traditional, high-maintenance lawn with something endlessly more manageable and inviting. Pam’s book is an inspiring look at the countless options for transforming residential landscapes with low-work flowers, shrubs, ground covers, and native plants mixed with paved or mulched areas. If you’ve been hesitant to take the plunge and downsize or eliminate the lawn altogether, Pam offers inspiration, reassurance, helpful ideas, how-to’s, and tips. This book is 192 pages of beautiful, low-maintenance, and inviting lawn alternatives from an intelligent and practical garden blogger. You can get a copy of Lawn Gone! by Pam Penick and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $9 Today’s Botanic Spark Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart On this day, April 27, the Romans honored Flora - the goddess of flowers and spring. One of the goddesses of fertility and a goddess of eternal youth. Flora was married to the west wind god, Zephyr, and she was the mother of Carpus - a beautiful boy whose name means “fruit.” Today, carpology is the study of fruits and seeds, and a carp is the fruiting body of a fungus. The Latin term “Carpe diem” or seize the day could also be thought of as “Make the day fruitful.” Today, the word flora is a general name for the plants of a region. Now, while the growing season starts with Flora, the goddess of spring, it ends with Pomona, the goddess of the Harvest. And so, the two goddesses - Flora and Pomona - were respectively celebrated at the beginning and end of the growing season. In 1884, the British artist and designer Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones created two beautiful tapestries that depicted life-sized figures of Flora and Pomona. Each Tapestry was nearly 10- feet long, and a backdrop of foliage and flowers surrounds both goddesses. To the Romans, Flora and Pomona were deemed important enough to have their own dedicated priests, temples, and festivals. Flora’s priest was called the Floralis, and her festival was called the Floralia. Established in 240 BCE, the Floralia was a week-long festival loaded with symbolism around renewal and rebirth and celebrated with drinking and flowers. During the festivities, even men wore flowers, and women were allowed to wear bright-colored clothing - something considered taboo otherwise. One of the most beautiful and beloved frescos from this time depicts Flora. Beloved by many, this masterpiece highlights Flora against a green background. She’s wearing a yellow dress, and she’s walking barefoot with her back to us. Her left arm holds a cornucopia basket filled with delicate spring flowers, and her right hand is reaching to pluck a white flower from a shrub. The Flora fresco is housed at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples, Italy (cat. no. 8834). Finding representations of Flora in art is easy - if you know what to look for. Flora is often shown holding a small bouquet and crowned with a halo of blossoms. And, can you guess what Flora’s special gift was? (Here’s a hint: it was made (naturally) from flowers and was highly valued by the Romans for its medicinal and culinary uses.) The answer is honey. Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Through the careful analysis of more than 18 years of paddock data, we now know that cropping weeds constantly evolve to evade all forms of weed control, including non-herbicide strategies. In this podcast, Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative (AHRI) research agronomist, Dr Mike Ashworth, discusses the evolution of annual ryegrass and wild radish in our cropping systems, and how this information can be used to make strategic weed management decisions.

Boy, nasturtiums are such wonderful plants aren't they? August is a time when your nasturtiums look fabulous; even after a summer of blooming their hearts out. Right about now, you’re nasturtiums will bloom better if you remove a few of the center leaves. Opening up the plant a little bit will promote airflow - and allow the sun to shine on the base of the plant. Nasturtiums are 100% edible. You can add the petals to any salad - just as you would watercress. In fact, you can make a beautiful sandwich with nasturtium flowers and a little salad dressing. Jane Eddington shared this idea in the Daily Newsout of New York, in 1928. She wrote, “If you have never tried a nasturtium leaf spread with a thin mayonnaise between two thin slices of bread and butter, you do not know how pleasant a little bite – in two senses – you can get from this “Indian cress“ filling. And before I forget, I found this wonderful article on nasturtiums that was featured in the Hartford current out of Hartford Connecticut in August of 1914. It had all of these wonderful recipes for nasturtiums It not only gave some good advice about nasturtium capers and nasturtium sandwiches, but also, a nasturtium sauce for fish, meat, and vegetables, a nasturtium vinegar, and a nasturtium potato salad. I’ll have all of that in today show notes -if you’re geeking out on nasturtiums. And, here is a little insight on how nasturtiums like to coexist with us: the more we cut nasturtiums - to bring in as cut flowers, or to eat them raw, or as capers - the more they are they will bloom. Regular cuttings seem to encourage more lateral development and therefore you get more flowers. Win win. If you protect your plants with burlap or sheets on cold fall evenings, your nasturtiums just might surprise you and bloom well into November. Brevities #OTD Today, in 1750, the botanist Peter Kalm visited Niagara Falls. Niagara was a natural attraction for Bartness like Kalm who studied under Karla Nas Niagara was a natural attraction for botanist like Kalm who studied under Carl Linnaeus. (It was actually Linnaeus who came up with the idea to send trained botanists to Niagara.) There are no records of the plants that Kalm collected that day. However, botanists suspect that Kalm's Labelia and Kalm's Saint John's Wort were collected there; both would have been named for him by Carl Linnaeus. #OTD Today, in 1805, Meriwether Lewis discovered the Snowberry or Symphoricarpos albus. I love the story of how Lewis came across the Snowberry. He was really looking for the Shoshone Indians; but he found the Snowberry instead. Lewis wrote in his journal that he discovered something like a small honeysuckle; except that it was bearing a berry as, "large as a garden pea and as white as wax." The plant was a true new discovery to the scientific community. And, Lewis showed his botany chops when he said he thought it resembled the honeysuckle because it actually IS a member of the honeysuckle family. The Latin name is from the Greek meaning "fruits joined together", because the berries are clustered in pairs. The berries aren’t good for eating; they’re pretty tasteless. But, the birds, and especially grouse, love it. Lewis probably took a specimen of the Snowberry because some of the seeds made their way to Philadelphia. They were given to Thomas Jefferson‘s favorite nurseryman: Bernard McMahan. Then, McMahan did what he always did; he grew them and sent cuttings to Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson wrote him in October of 1812 saying that the Snowberries were thriving in his garden. He gushed that they were, “some of the most beautiful berries I have ever seen.” #OTD Today is the birthday of the Russian botanist Edward August Von Regal who was born on this day in 1815. Regal was born in Switzerland - but he lived most of his life in Russia. Regal worked in a number of botanical gardens, including gardens in Germany and Switzerland. In 1852, he founded the magazine Garten Florawhere he described all the new species he had encountered. By 1855, Regal made his final move to Saint Petersburg where he made his home. He oversaw the imperial botanical garden and he even started a Russian gardening society, as well as a number of journals. Regal was a very hands-on botanist. When he went to St. Petersburg he immediately addressed the setup and the level of excellence. He changed how all the plants were arranged and rebuilt the green houses (most of which were heated by hot water). Regal loved to arrange plants in groups based on geography. For instance, he would have an area for plants of St. Petersburg, and an area for the plants of Siberia, and an area for the plants of North America, and so on. And if you’re a fan of Curtis's botanical magazine which was started by William Curtis (who was employed at Kew), you’ll appreciate knowing that volume 111 is dedicated to Edward August van Regal. #OTD Today is the birthday of Benedict Roezl who was born on this day in 1823 in Czechoslovakia. Roezl was probably the most famous collector of orchids during his lifetime. Roezl had an interesting life. As a gardener, he traveled all over Europe. He was also the founder of a Czech botanical magazine called Flora. Eventually, Roezl made his way to the United States. He was making his way south to Mexico, so after first landing in New York, he went to Denver. There, he collected the Yucca angustifolia. Roezl indeed ended up in Mexico. For a time, he owned a restaurant. But he was also trying to make a business out of growing a nettle that is called the Boehmeria niveawhich produces a fiber that can be harvested. Roezl was a tinkerer. He had built a machine to extract the fiber from the Boehmeria and he had brought it to an exhibition. Someone asked if his machine would be able to extract fiber from an agave. When Roezl attempted to try it, his hand got entangled in the machine and was crushed. The accident changed his life and he begin collecting plants full-time. Roezl used an iron hook in place of his amputated hand; it made him popular among the locals who brought him plants. Roezl started collecting for Frederick Sander who was known as the king of orchids. But it was really Roezl that made it all happen. Although, as a collector, he was a bit of a mess. Still, Roezl collected over 800 orchids from Mexico and South America, along with thousands of other plants like agaves and cacti. In Columbia, he discovered the Zambia Roezlii; the tallest and oldest orchid of all. Even though Roezl was 6‘2“ tall, and had that imposing iron hook for a hand, during his collecting days, Roezl was robbed 17 times and, once, even attacked by a jaguar. Roezl collected for Sander for 40 years. At the end of his life, Roezl returned to Czechoslovakia. His country welcomed him home with open arms and he was honored by the Russian czar. When he died at home in his bed, his funeral was attended by the Austrian emperor. Today, there is a statue of Roezl in Prague. It’s located on the southern end of Charles Square - if you happen to go. #OTD Today is the anniversary of the death of the nurseryman and botanist John Gould Veitch who died on this day in 1870. The Veitch Nursery dynasty was a force in the British nursery trade. Their dominance was born out of the idea to hire their own plant hunters to collect exclusively for them. John Gould Veitch became a plant hunter himself. He’s remembered for collecting in Japan and in Australia where he once complained that the seeds of many plants, “were so tiny he did not know if he was collecting seed or dust.“ John Gould Veitch's life was cut short by tuberculosis. He died when he was just 31 years old. Unearthed Words “Every year, the bright Scandinavian summer nights fade without anyone's noticing. One evening in August you have an errand outdoors, and all of a sudden it's pitch-black. It is still summer, but the summer is no longer alive.” ― Tove Jansson, The Summer Book Today's book recommendation: The Orchid Hunter by Leif Bersweden The subtitle of the book is "A young botanist’s search for happiness. Bersweden was 19 years old, when he set off on a project to see all 52 species of wild orchid in Britain and Ireland. Over one summer, as he passed his gap year, before going to Oxford University. Bersweden was 12 years old when he asked his mom about plants. He’s continued to learn about them ever since. Bersweden attempted to see and photograph the wild orchids of the UK in a single season. He’s a talented writer and a passionate plantsman. I won’t spoil it for you - you’ll have to read for yourself whether he completes his quest. The book is funny, enthusiastic, and brilliant Today's Garden Chore Add more ground cover I feel like you could add this to do to your garden chores throughout the growing season. Carpeting the ground with ground covers is one of the best ways to combat weeds. It’s also one of the best ways to help your garden feel lived in. The best part about ground covers is they will often do quite well in areas where grass may struggle. Shade loving ground covers, like Lily of the Valley or Bugle Weed are wonderful options. And, wouldn't you rather have a Johnny Jump Up or a Sweet Violet, than some unwanted weed in the garden? Something Sweet Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart Today, in 1892, the botanist Albert Ruth collected a plant in Sevier County that he thought was Partridge Berry. Over 40 years later, this specimen ended up at the University of Tennessee. The year was 1934, and the University of Tennessee’s herbarium had been destroyed in a fire which was especially sad since the herbarium was par excellence and contained over 30,000 specimens. But, the botanist and university professor, AJ Sharp, rose to the challenge. He put out the call for new specimens from botanists all over the globe and they sent them. Albert Ruth's Partridge Berry made its way to Dr. Sharp. When he saw it, Dr. Sharp immediately recognized that the Partridge Berry was not the plant that he had been sent. It was an obvious mislabel. Instead, what Sharp was looking at, was the twin flower; the flower named for Carl Linnaeus, the Linnea Borealis – a plant that is extremely delicate. Although it can be found in Greenland and Alaska and Scandinavia, it has not been known to be found in the Smoky Mountains. And, no one has ever been able to find the spot where Ruth found this twin flower. There of been two attempts to locate it led by Dr. Peter White out of the University of North Carolina. White cautions for anyone attempting to search for it in the great Smoky Mountains to take heed. He said the two things you need to botanize in the great Smoky Mountains are excellent rock climbing experience and a great life insurance policy. Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."
There isn’t much a great ground cover can’t do. It can crowd out weeds, stop erosion, fill in the gaps between larger perennials, and even soften the edges of walls and curbs. However, not all ground covers are created equal. The best ones require little care, look great in multiple seasons, and mass out quickly. Steve and Danielle discuss some of their favorite candidates for this laundry list of objectives in this LAAP episode. Their recommendations include perennials and shrubs that fit the bill. Horticulturist Joann Vieira weighs in with several ground cover options that she has used in the past at botanic gardens and private gardens alike. This episode starts off with Danielle *finally* gifting Steve with a few plants that he’s been wanting for years. Listen now to find out which ones. Expert testimony: Joann Vieira, is the director of horticulture for the Trustees of Reservations in Massachusetts.
Groundcovers are those (usually) tiny little plants that really draws the garden together and helps guide you from place to place. Other than being beautiful, groudncovers also help to suppress weeds, maintain soil moisture and temperature, and prevent erosion. In this episode, Nathan reveals the purpose and different kinds of groundcovers you can utilize in your garden. So, come on! We’ve got a lot of ground to cover!

We sometimes hear about the rundown of Phosphorus nutrient deep in the soil profile and a deal of research is being conducted right now into Deep P Placement and the benefits derived from that. Well just recently research in south eastern Australia has attempted to address another issue deep in the soil profile and that is soil acidity or low pH and its effect on legume yields. Work undertaken by Dr Helen Burns and Mark Norton from NSW DPI has looked closely at this problem and a new GRDC publication will detail this complex issue for growers and their advisers.

As a form of weed control in crops reducing row spacing can have a significant impact on weed populations. By reducing crop row spacing the biomass of the weed are reduced but what's even more important is weed seed numbers are dramatically reduced. These were key messages delivered to grain growers at a Weedsmart conference where Paul McIntosh from the Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative was a speaker. Also addressing the growers was a farmer from NSW who told of his experience with overcoming a serious weed issue on his property by reducing crop row spacing. Chris Roche and Paul McIntosh pass on their experiences in this podcast.
