In this episode, Ken Lain, The Mountain Gardener of Prescott, discusses fast-growing groundcovers for hills and rock lawns. It is important to understand the soil type you have in your yard for irrigation purposes. An inch of rain can penetrate varying depths depending on whether the soil is heavy clay (4 inches) or sandy/granite (6-7 inches). Even significant rainfall can fail to meet plants' full watering needs. Lain shifts into fast-growing ground covers for erosion control and landscape beautification.

There are about 70 different types of phlox, both short and tall. The short ones are used as groundcovers, and their palette is made up of the cool colors.

The traditional lawn has received a lot of heat over the last few years with many recommending alternatives such as micro-clovers and specialized lawn blends. In this encore episode of Down the Garden Path, Joanne Shaw and Matthew Dressing speak with Kathy Jentz, author of Groundcover Revolution, about the groundcover plants you can use to create a beautiful lawn alternative of your own. About Kathy Jentz Kathy Jentz is the editor and publisher of the award-winning Washington Gardener magazine, based in Washington, DC. She hosts the popular GardenDC Podcast and is co-author of The Urban Garden and author of Groundcover Revolution. Here are some of the questions and topics covered in this episode: What inspired you to write about groundcovers and lawn alternatives? Can you define the term groundcover? Do you consider step-ability? What zones do you cover? What benefits do groundcovers provide to our gardens? What is green mulch? How do we transition from groundcover to green mulch? Do you have favourite groundcovers? Do you need to prune or cut back any during the year? To quote Kathy's book “so many plants, so few pages.” How do we start narrowing down our choices when selecting the right groundcovers? Stepping Stones Listener questions: Is groundcover expensive? Does the groundcover get very big? What is the average height? Does planting groundcover help with erosion? If so, what is the best to plant for this issue? Doesn't groundcover attract rodents in your yard? It leaves a nice place to nest and hide. I hear the term "carpet forming" regarding groundcover. What does this mean exactly? Tips to take the next step in your gardening journey. The best selection of fruit trees and shrubs is at your local independent garden centres right now.   Trees and shrubs can be planted now, but softer herbaceous material is still too tender and should be brought in at night. Sod is available and ready for planting. Be sure not to let it dry out as it will take a few weeks to fully root and access the water in the ground below.

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

Bret is joined by Shahar Azulay, Groundcover CEO and Co-Founder, to discuss their new approach to fully observe K8s and its workloads with a "hybrid observability architecture."Groundcover is a new, cloud-native, eBPF-based platform that designed a new model for how observability solutions are architected and priced. It is a product that can drastically reduce your monitoring, logging, and tracing costs and complexity, it stores all its data in your clusters and only needs one agent per host for full observability and APM. We dig into the deployment, architecture, and how it all works under the hood.Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show from June 27, 2024 on YouTube (Stream 272).

Oh my gosh, this was such a fascinating conversation with Kathy Jentz! I learned so much about ground cover, talking about her new book that's out called Groundcover Revolution, and she also loves talking about Urban Gardening(her previous book is about this), since she lives just outside the city in Maryland, and her gorgeous cats - you know I love checking out everyones' cats (check out the YouTube video to see them all - they're huge and stunning!)! She told me about saving lettuce seeds, which is something I've been wondering about for years, and taught me about lettuce seeds in general - GAME CHANGING stuff!!Kathy is a really busy lady! She's written 2 books, publishes the monthly Washington Gardener magazine (and award winning publication for Mid Atlantic growers!), and has for many years, is President of a number of flower clubs - OH, and she also has a podcast! It's called Garden DC Podcast, and she focuses on a different plant each week!

You spoke up and we listened! Responding to a survey we put out earlier this year on our instagram page, which is @forestgardenpodcast, we decided to do an episode on ground covers in the forest garden. And who better to talk about this topic than the man who wrote the book on forest gardens in North America, Dave Jacke (with co-author Eric Toensmeier, who we have previously interviewed... and you should check out that episode too). Today's episode discusses ground covers, but also dips into a range of topics related to forest gardens and Dave's experience writing the book Edible Forest Gardens Volumes 1 & 2. Stick with us for an episode jam packed with useful info.

The traditional lawn has received a lot of heat over the last few years with many recommending alternatives such as micro-clovers and specialized lawn blends. In this episode of Down the Garden Path, Joanne Shaw and Matthew Dressing are joined by Kathy Jentz, author of Groundcover Revolution, to discuss the groundcover plants you can use to create a beautiful lawn alternative of your own. About Kathy Jentz Kathy Jentz is the editor and publisher of the award-winning Washington Gardener magazine, based in Washington, DC. She hosts the popular GardenDC Podcast and is co-author of The Urban Garden and author of Groundcover Revolution. Here are some of the questions and topics covered in this episode: What inspired you to write about groundcovers and lawn alternatives? Can you define the term groundcover? Do you consider step-ability? What zones do you cover? What benefits do groundcovers provide to our gardens? What is green mulch? How do we transition from groundcover to green mulch? Do you have favourite groundcovers? Do you need to prune or cut back any during the year? To quote your book “so many plants, so few pages.” How do we start narrowing down our choices when selecting the right groundcovers? Stepping Stones Listener questions: Is groundcover expensive? Does the groundcover get very big? What is the average height? Does planting groundcover help with erosion? If so, what is the best to plant for this issue? Doesn't groundcover attract rodents in your yard? It leaves a nice place to nest and hide. I hear the term "carpet forming" regarding groundcover. What does this mean exactly? Tips to take the next step in your gardening journey: The best selection of fruit trees and shrubs is at your local independent garden centres right now.   Trees and shrubs can be planted now, but softer herbaceous material is still too tender and should be brought in at night. Sod is available and ready for planting. Be sure not to let it dry out as it will take a few weeks to fully root and access the water in the ground below.
