Learn how to garden like nature from writer, horticultural consultant, and educator Dr. Lee Reich. We start with an audio tour of Lee's award winning “farmden," which is more than a garden and less than a farm. Packed with plants, including Paw Paws, Hardy Kiwi, Gooseberries, Figs, and Filberts, Lee uses his land as a test site for showcasing his gardening techniques. After 40 years of tending the land, Lee not only grows healthy fruits and vegetables, but also lots of fertile soil and compost.  Lee and I discuss the art and science of building soil from the ground up following his easy low impact approach. Lee explains why he believes it's important to pay attention to the top few inches of soil and let nature take care of the rest. Lee advocates gardening like nature by using a system that's good for plants and people and that emulates natural conditions.  We chat about mulch, the importance of compost, and why Lee loves to repurpose what others might call waste in his quest to improve soil fertility and grow vibrant and resilient plants. Dr. Lee Reich is a writer, horticultural consultant and educator with graduate degrees in soil science and horticulture. Lee's farmden has won awards from National Gardening and Organic Gardening magazines and has been featured in many publications like the New York Times and Martha Stewart Living. HIs books include Weedless Gardening, Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden, and Growing Figs in Cold Climates. Lee was a former plant and soil researcher for the US Department of Agriculture and Cornell University and wrote a syndicated gardening column for the Associated Press for nearly 30 years.

Tuesday • March 15, 2022 Here from Missouri is an amazing beekeeper, gardener, and author, CHARLOTTE EKKER WIGGINS! https://amzn.to/3wWX6lR ()https://amzn.to/3wWX6lR (Bee Club Basics: How to Start a Bee Club)https://amzn.to/3CW0KjI ()https://amzn.to/3CW0KjI (A Beekeeper's Diary: Self Guide to Keeping Bees)Has lots of checklists to help you get started. Master Beekeeper class is using her next book Bees Need Flowers, Planting for Pollinators coming out soon. Tips include: reading a lot.  Join a bee club because it's like learning a new language. Beekeeping is very local Need to know bee biology to work with bees not tell them what to do Spend a year learning about beekeeping by taking 1 or more classes, reading, meeting other beekeepers. Bees are colony based, not self centered like humans. Bees sometimes leave because they don't want to spread disease to the hive. Jackie asks what if you can't find a club?  Thanks to the pandemic lots of clubs are meeting on Zoom like https://beesbeyondborders.com/ (Bees Beyond Borders) in Florida have guest speakers from leading bee experts in the country. What works and what doesn't in a gardenThe critical part of providing bees is your SOIL HAS TO BE HEALTHY! Need to keep soil healthy which will keep plants healthy and then bees will be healthy and food we eat will be healthy. One out of every 3 bites of food we eat is from bee pollination.Composting is the easiest thing to do. Mulch with compost. Lots of bird houses for natural pest control I'm the same way. There's so many garden chores I don't want to do but compost is so easy! I don't understand people who say it's too hard, messy or complicated. Charlotte adds we need to move away from perfection. In the old days, magazines used to really focus on green lawns. Common sense says it's expensive to put in, you need to put in high expensive fertilizers, the minute it grows you cut it down and it doesn't really add anything to the environment. A bug bite on a rose leaf is exciting it means there's a relationship between ladybugs and praying mantis etc who are eating the pests in the garden because they need food so a whole in a leaf is important for the rose to grow. What grew well?  Catnip What's something new or different your excited to try? Some https://www.rareseeds.com/ (Baker Creek Co Seeds).https://www.rareseeds.com/ (https://www.rareseeds.com/) Some flowers and peppers that were ordered. I like the tried and true.  Do you save your own seeds? I just tried spaghetti squash and loved it so I saved those. I also do companion planting. I plant onions around my roses to deter bugs and if I need an onion. I mix my vegetables and flowers, I don't have them in rows, I plant them in with my flowers because I can move them around each year so they're not planted in the same soil and using up all the nutrients and the pollinators are attracted by the flowers.  How about something that didn't go the way you thought is was going to? My least favorite thing is to dig holes, I didn't get as much mulch as I would have liked in some new flower beds, and I planted some zinnias in a bed that wasn't quite ready for planting. They didn't do as well as they should have.  Getting to the Root of Things What's your favorite activity in the garden? Play with my bees. How do you play with your bees? Follow them and observe where they're going. Are they on fruit trees or flowers? Are the mason bees out of their houses? Things I do to keep the veroa mites low. Want to monitor and keep hives small.  What's big and small? A nucleus hive is about 5-8000 bees. A full colony is 60-80,000 bees. Pollen for the queen and nectar is flight fuel. Mutual relationship between bees and flowers. If you have good forage through growing season April through October. 2,000,000 flowers to make a pound of honey.  Best advice? Soil section of the master gardener classes. I will take a...

If the only way to address the global population crisis and the degradation of the planet was to limit everyone's lifespan to just 70 years, would you go along with it happily? Or would you fight to live? In Patricia Donovan's novel The Collections set in 2041, this is the task facing Claris, who works in a government Collections Depot. They're responsible for ensuring 70 year olds are euthanased, then their bodies are processed so they can be returned to the earth as ecologically sound mulch. The Collections is the third novel by the Kapiti Coast based writer. Lynn Freeman talks with her about the rival merits of life and ecological disaster. Patricia Donovan's The Collections was published by Mary Egan Publishing.

No, we don't mean you should be growing less, just think about other smaller uses to grow your own food. There is a lot more focus on the container and raised bed gardens lately. More and more people are starting to learn how to garden and become more sustainable. One of our favorite times to garden using containers and raised beds is in the fall. Container, vertical, and raised bed gardening is ideal for those with little to no in-ground garden space. Problems with soil-borne diseases, nematodes, or poor soil conditions can be easily overcome by switching to a container garden. Did you know that raised beds are one of the most popular ways to garden? Vertical gardening is also growing in popularity with people using new or existing structures in their homes. Think of the space you can save with vertical growing! Let's look at some reasons why you should be growing small in the fall! Container Gardening, Growing Small in the Fall Reason #1 you should be growing in containers: easy access! You can grow right outside your kitchen, or even inside your kitchen! Grow in spaces like balconies, patios, doorsteps, window sills, driveways, etc. It makes it easy growing small in the fall. Sizes: Important to know how large, and deep the container must be. Consider the size and shape of the plant's root system, and how rapidly it grows. Light-colored containers keep the soil cooler than dark containers. Container Drainage: Drainage holes are essential Prep: Put in desired space before filling and planting. Check the appropriate shade/sun according to plant requirements. Plain garden soil can be too dense. Fall plants great for containers: Lettuce, Herbs, All-Top Turnips, Kale, Collards, Beets, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Mustards Container Materials - Growin Small In The Fall Clay or terracotta are attractive but breakable and easily damaged by freezing and thawingCast concrete is long-lasting but can be heaving and hard to move.Plastic and fiberglass are lightweight and become brittle with cold or age. Wood: Choose a naturally rot-resistant wood.  Don't use creosote (toxic to plants)Root Pouch Grow Bags: Allows the plant roots to breathe and grow but make sure you have the right size! Raised Bed Gardening One of the most popular ways to garden. Knowing the tips & tricks will help you be more successful! Location: Survey your sun exposure throughout the day. Note the number of hours of full sun, part shadeIrrigation: Plan how you are going to irrigateSoil: Don't start with bad soil, invest in your soil because the soil is what feeds the plant. Crappy soil, crappy plants.  Need soil with good nutrition, good water retention, good drainageCompost 1/3 of the mix, aeration component 1/3 mix (perlite) 1/3 water retention material (peat moss, coconut coir)Mulch: Organic covering for the top of your soil that's going to help protect your soil, and help keep it nice and moist. Buffer layer to the top of the soil. (straw) be aware of wood chipsPlacement of plants: Plan ahead and think about how the plant is going to grow and its size once it matures. Will it shade out other plants? Low growers up front, bigger ones in the back.Bed Preparation: Soil testing, amend, cover crops, Mulch, tarping, don't let it stay bare.Label your plants, and document what and when you planted them. Vertical Gardening - Best way to grow small When you're limited on space, grow up! Vertical gardening is growing rapidly in popularity. People are planting wherever they can. Pots suspended on a wall, stair step structures, vertical towers, arches, fence panels, trellis, and cages. Why? Here's why: Saves spaceHarvesting is easier when uprightPlants are healthier, up out of the soil, no splash back, leaves do not stay moistBeautiful spacesFall Plants For Vertical Growing: pole beans, gourds, cucumbers, tomatoes, winter squash, peasFall Plants for Vertical Towers: Strawberries, Bush beans, herbs, lettuce

Wherever you live, wherever you garden, at some point in the year, your plants will get aphids.

From there he continued landscaping in his hometown until he moved to Arizona in 1981, where he worked in landscaping and then started his own business in garden maintenance.  In 2003 he attended a Permaculture Design Course, which was life-changing for Don. He knew right away that this was the path he'd been waiting for, and later attended two Permaculture Teacher Trainings.  He co-founded the Phoenix Permaculture Guild, started a Permaculture design company, redesigned his home site into a permaculture design destination, and helped develop a thriving permaculture community in the Phoenix, Arizona area. He has presented in 5 cities, worked in several states, attended classes in 5 states, and pretty much lives and breathes permaculture.

Im Gemüse- Beeren und Blumengarten ist es im Sommer besonders wichtig zu mulchen. Denn: Platzregen, austrocknender Wind und heisse Sonne, schädigen die nackte Erde. Mulchen regt die Aktivität der Bodenlebewesen an, schattiert die Oberfläche des Bodens, verhindert ein Abschwemmen der Erde bei Platzregen, hält die Feuchtigkeit im Boden und unterdrückt die Keimung von einjährigem Unkraut. Mulch aus dem eignen Garten: * Rasenschnitt * zerkleinerte Gründüngung * zerschnittene Farnblätter oder Wallwurz * zerschnittene Ernteabfälle von gesunden Gemüsepflanzen und Kräutern Im Handel findet man: * Mulchmaterial aus Chinaschilf ( Chinaschilf wird in der Schweiz hergestellt, Chinaschilf ist der Name der Pflanze = Miscanthus sinensis, aus der dieser Mulch hergestellt wird) * Einstreu für Kleintiere aus gehäckseltem Hanf, wirkt auch gegen Schnecken * Pferdeeinstreu 'Waldboden' Beim erstmaligen Mulchen wird eine Schicht von 2-3cm Höhe rund um die Gemüsepflanzen, Setzlinge, Blumen und Beeren ausgebracht. Bei einer Aussaat, wird neben der Aussaatreihe gemulcht. Sobald die Erde darunter wieder zum Vorschein kommt, wird die Mulchschicht wieder aufgefüllt. Am besten nach dem Lockern!

Even if they are green and healthy, you can prune the leaves from your tomato plants. Knowing how and when to prune and pinch the suckers will help the plant divert all its energy and nutrients into growing stronger. You'll be rewarded with more tomatoes, too.

It's HOT down here in SW Georgia. We've been harvesting a lot lately and fighting the high temperatures but we are thinking about our Fall gardens and what we should be doing in the garden now! Garden Chores While chore lists may not be everyone's favorite, this is one chore list that every gardener needs! Stay on top of weeds/pestsHarvest/PreservePruning of Spring-Flowering ShrubsContinue fertilization schedule Mulch your garden bedsWater plants deeply and regularlyReplenish/Amend SoilRemove Plant DebrisPlant uncovered spaces with cover crops/tarpsBuy seeds for fall - at Hoss Tools (of course)Succession planting Zone 9 - What You Should Be Doing Your first frost date of when it will really start to cool down is typically around December 10th on average. If you are planting fall tomatoes and peppers you should start them in the seed trays in mid-August and you can then put them in the ground in mid-September. Tomatoes and peppers have a 75-day maturity and you should be able to harvest in November before your frost. Our favorite tomato varieties for the fall (heat set) tomatoes are Hossinator, Florida 91, or Homestead. Field peas should be plated from September 1 through September 15. Zone 8 - What You Can Grow November 22nd is the average frost date for Zone 8, which means you should start tomatoes and peppers on July 1st to transplant into the ground around August 1st. They should be ready to harvest around October 15th. Field peas will be planted on the first of September since they are around 65 days to maturity. We are going to plant sweet corn in August for the fall garden. Zone 7 - Growing for the Fall If you are wanting to grow tomatoes and peppers for a fall crop, you want to go ahead as soon as possible and start those seeds in the greenhouse. You can also plant beans and squash now! Zone 7's first frost date is November 15th. If you want to plant field peas, you can plant them around the same time as Zone 8, which is the first of September.

Jon rants about USWDGC coverage. Mulch update!

This late-night live show was mostly inspired by the guy in my neighborhood, walking around and trying to signal his fellow residents with…

I get a lot of questions every year about mulch, about how to use it, when to use it, which kind to use. And today we'll talk about all that, but also even more important about what goes on in the soil beneath that mulch layer when you mulch with an organic material. My guest today to explain all that is Bill Fonteno, Professor Emeritus of Horticultural Science at North Carolina State University and former technical advisor to the U.S. Mulch and Soil Council, the industry trade association.

This week, the guys have a jam-packed show from insulating concrete, gas line colors, drilling through a foundation and hot garage door talk. Plus, emotional remodels.

Venerable Sunyo discusses his favourite stories in the book, sharing anecdotes from his childhood and meditation practice at the Dhammaloka Books Club's 5th session on the 14 May 2022. Venerable shares the attitude that he uses when he meditates, "Just by sitting down and being there, the meditation is already a success and done, and there is nothing further to change or to get somewhere". The mind then gets peaceful right away, as we are opening the door of our heart to whatever is going on in our mind. Also keep an ear out for Venerable's amusing encounter with "MULCH" in the monastery. This book is available from the Dhammaloka Library. Dhammaloka Book Club is usually held on the second Saturday of every month from 1.45 pm to 2.30 pm, please check the BSWA event page for the latest updates.

It's time to clear the docket! As we venture out into the world a bit more, how should we be dressing? What makes a men's sandal a "dad sandal?" If one puts sunglasses on the brim of their hat, are they still "wearing" them? Does black go with everything? Should a college graduate's partner wear a tie to the graduation? Judge John Hodgman and Bailiff Jesse Thorn talk all about these fashion and style cases, and more!
