We are thrilled to introduce our guest, singer, songwriter and author, Alex Woodard. Alex has toured nationally behind several critically acclaimed albums, earning a few prestigious industry nods while sharing the stage with some of his heroes. His most recent release, Ordinary Soil, written in collaboration with triple-board certified MD turned regenerative agriculture warrior Zach Bush, follows a generational farming family haunted by a ghost from the past. Amongst early endorsers is Woody Harrelson, who offered "Ordinary Soil brings to haunting life the desperate realities of the American heartland, but also offers a glimpse into a better future... a call to action for all of us.” Alex lives with four horses, two dogs, two chickens, and two beautiful humans on a small ranch near the California coast. In this conversation we dive into: How our current conventional farming system is damaging our soil. Why it's important to examine our relationship with the earth and the environment and to pay close attention to what we put into our bodies. How as a society, we have become deeply disconnected from nature, leading to the degradation of our soil and food systems. How and what action to take today. Don't wait until it's convenient or we have more time. How to improve soil health, which will ultimately improve the health of our planet and all human beings on this earth.

This week on Everything You Didn't Know About Herbalism, we are joined by the passionate and insightful Vice President of Development at the Rodale Institute, Annie Brown. As a true specialist surrounding all things organic agriculture, Annie shares with us how the Rodale Institute was founded during the boom of chemicals being introduced to the farming industry and how one businessman's intuition led him from the hustle and bustle of NYC to rural Pennsylvania; where he studied agriculture practices of Indigenous populations that grew successful crops without the need for synthetic chemicals. From here, J.I. Rodale taught himself and his family how to effectively grow food without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This led to the founding of the Rodale Institute in 1947, and the revolutionary term,“regenerative agriculture”, was coined. From the Rodale Institute's inception nearly 80 years ago, the fight for accessible organic agriculture persists strongly in the present day. Through partnerships and consulting with like-minded businesses, Rodale creates a clear path forward for those seeking to make the crucial transition into organic agriculture by providing research, farmer training, and consumer education. Mountain Rose Herbs is a proud partner of the Rodale Institute. Together, we are working to create a food system in harmony with nature by paving the way for the future of healthy soil, healthy food, healthy people, and healthy planet. As always, we thank you for joining us on another botanical adventure and are so honored to have you tag along with us on this ride. Remember, we want to hear from you! Your questions, ideas, and who you want to hear from are an invaluable piece to our podcast. Send us an email at podcast@mountainroseherbs.com to let us know what solutions we should uncover next within the vast world of herbalism. Learn more about Annie and the Rodale Institute:
This week, Jeff and Jonathan are discussing healthy soil structure—particularly the role of worms.

Today we talk about what makes good compost with Robert Pavlis. Robert is a well-known speaker and educator with over 40 years of growing experience. He is the author of several books, including a whole series demystifying important growing topics, including Soil Science for Gardeners, Microbe Science for Gardeners, Garden Myths and Compost Science for Gardeners. He has a background in chemistry and biochemistry which allows him to research topics and explain the underlying science. He uses that understanding to present complex growing topics in an easy-to-understand style that is both informative and fun to read.Robert's books do a great job explaining the background and mechanics for a lot of the aspects of plant care that are important for market farmers. He will help you understand the why behind how to take care of plants. As the owner and head gardener of Aspen Grove Gardens, a six-acre botanical garden in Southern Ontario, Canada, he grows over 3,000 varieties of plants. In Shop Talk with Neversink Farm @neversinkfarm we chat about new tools, old tools, how they can benefit your farm and tips to use them successfully with Conor Crickmore of Neversink Tools, which manufactures tools for farmers. In this episode of Shop Talk, we discuss the history of tilthing that goes back hundreds of years. Tilthing refers to a very shallow cultivation action that can help smooth out a compost layer and work amendments into the top inch or so of soil. After losing popularity to deeper cultivation methods, like rototilling and spading, tilthing is gaining ground again as a way to even out fertilizer and compost applications on top of a bed and get it ready for gridding, transplanting or seeding. We also discuss how tilthing fits into the order of bed preparation.Thanks to our collaborator on this podcast Neversink Farm. They make this podcast free to everyone with their generous support.
