In this episode of Hort Culture, Brett, Jessica, and Ray explore the exciting question of how much food you can really grow at home. While social media often shows impressive gardens producing huge harvests from small spaces, the hosts remind listeners that success looks different for everyone. Growing your own tomatoes, onions, peppers, squash, and other favorites can be incredibly rewarding, even if you are not producing every item on your dinner plate. They encourage gardeners to focus on what their families enjoy eating, start small, and celebrate the wins—whether that is harvesting your first pepper, building gardening memories with your kids, or enjoying a meal made with homegrown ingredients. The episode highlights that gardening should be fun, realistic, and personal, with the goal of finding joy in the process rather than comparing yourself to perfect gardens online.Resources for Home Growers: VegetablesPlate it up!

When it comes to growing healthy, productive vegetables and flowers in raised beds – success all begins with filling your raised beds with the perfect mix of soil! The soil you put into your raised beds matters. To grow great plants it needs to be lightweight, full of nutrients – and also drain well. Which is exactly why how you fill them up matters! It's important to think of raised beds just as you would a container or potted plant. This is because they both have limited soil capacity. To be successful, a potted plant needs to have great drainage as well as be loose and lightweight. In addition, it also needs to packed with nutrients.That is exactly the same formula for success when growing in raised beds. The soil has to drain excess water away in quick fashion. If it doesn't, plants will struggle to grow and can easily rot out in the soil.On this week's episode, Jim & Mary take a look at the best method for filling up your beds, and why simply loading them full of just plain soil is not good for your plants – or your raised beds life and longevity either.

You can spend a fortune on compost, seed, and clever gear and still end up with tired raised beds and a mossy lawn if you get the basics wrong at the start. We're answering two listener questions that keep popping up because they sound simple, but the wrong advice can cost you seasons of progress.First up, raised beds in a polytunnel or greenhouse. We dig into the big mistake of putting ground cover fabric or plastic membranes under your growing media. I explain why that layer cuts your beds off from native soil life, why that matters for long term soil health, and what to do instead. We keep it practical: cardboard, quality compost, steady moisture, and keeping beds planted or mulched so the soil food web stays alive. If you've already lined beds with plastic, we talk through realistic options to reopen access and start rebuilding.Then we switch to a problem nearly everyone sees after a long wet winter: moss in lawns. We break down the most effective lawn care approach for heavy moss, including scarifying, debris removal, top dressing, and reseeding or overseeding. We also compare slower bacterial treatments, the quick blackening effect of iron sulphate, and why raking is essential. Finally, we touch on how robot mowers can help reduce moss by encouraging thicker grass growth.If you enjoy clear, no nonsense gardening advice for Irish and UK conditions, subscribe, share this with a fellow gardener, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Join me in the garden for the medicinal garden workshop: https://subscribepage.io/growyourownherbalgardenSupport the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

Have you ever wondered if you could fill a raised bed with 100% compost? Or whether pressure-treated wood is actually safe for gardens? In today's episode, I sit down in person with Gardener Scott to tackle common raised bed myths and smart strategies for growing success — whether you're gardening on a patio or across a backyard full of beds.

In this episode, Ken Lain, The Mountain Gardener, talks about preparing old containers & raised beds for new flower plants. We're in the peak of planting season in the Prescott area. Did you properly prepare the soil? Are you going to use the right watering techniques and tools to ensure a healthy growing season? Listen in to find out what you should know.Listen to Mountain Gardener on Cast11: https://cast11.com/mountain-gardener-with-ken-lain-gardening-podcast/Follow Cast11 on Facebook: https://Facebook.com/CAST11AZFollow Cast11 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cast11_podcast_network/

You have to fertilize less than you think, so save some money and the environment by watching this video.

Master Gardener Emily Clem talks with North Alabama Extension Agent, Brian Brown about plant irrigation. Alabama gets 50-60 inches of rain yearly, but not always when plants need it. Brian covers both spray and drip irrigation systems and recommends smart controllers. Drip irrigation helps prevent plant disease and is also cost effective. He gives a step by step guide on a set up that can cost as little $50 for a basic system. Hint: save your tuna cans, they are the exact size to measure one inch of water, which is the weekly recommendation for watering your garden.Links:https://www.aces.edu/  (Alabama Cooperative Extension)https://www.alcpl.org/Have questions about this episode?

Deciding where to plant things can feel like a total mystery—especially when Instagram says one thing and your neighbor's doing another. So let's talk it through, without the pressure to get it “perfect.” In this episode, I'm breaking down the pros and practical uses for containers, raised beds, and in-ground gardening—plus how I decide where to put what in my own small-space garden. We'll chat: What to plant in containers (and why peppers love my grow bags!) The crops that thrive in raised beds (especially if you've got heavy soil) When to give in-ground gardening a go—and how to make it work without fancy gear Why you have to experiment in your space and not just copy what works for someone else How I'm planning my garden this year (hint: it's a mix of whimsy, practicality, and learning as I go) Whether you're just getting started or want to make better use of the space you've got, this episode will help you feel more confident in choosing what goes where—with plenty of encouragement to try, fail, and try again.
