Master Gardeners Emily Clem and Kathy Cook give a tour of The Library Garden. Designed by landscape architect, Carol Lambdin, the garden includes raised beds, a butterfly garden, a wet area, and shaded sections. Now three years old, the garden is full of native trees, plants and edibles, and visitors are encouraged to take home berries and veggies in season. In addition, the garden has become a great home for insects and a few resident birds. Kids of all ages enjoy the grassy area, bubble rock fountains and winding footpaths. Volunteers are always welcome to help maintain the garden.

The Summer season has come full circle again, that time of year where everyone enjoys being outside, especially in their gardens on a long, sunny day. Gardeners are still in full flow - planting out new beds, mowing their lawns and cajoling their vegetable gardens into burgeoning yields. It's a great time to be alive in horticulture as the show season reaches a crescendo, plant fairs almost every weekend threaten to empty your savings and open gardens throughout the UK inspire that next bit of work you will be doing in your own plot. As ever Lucy and Saul will bring you tales (and waffle) from their gardens, so join us every week for more horticultural high-jinx on Talking Heads.BBC Gardeners World Autumn Fair brings a nice closing curtain on Lucy and Saul's flower show circuit for the year, as the Talking Heads Pair sing the praises of the Walled Garden and the English Heritage team's Vegetable and Fruit Growing. The show itself is a delightful show case of late-summer colour, bulb planting and ideas to take away and extend your garden season into the Autumn. We also catch up with 'friend of the podcast' David Hurrion who's new book 'The Raised Bed Book' is translated into a wonderful garden showing the versatility and beauty of using raised beds in your garden.Instagram Links:Lucy headgardenerlcTwitter links:Saul @GardeningSaulIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

A garden waking up and showing its early colour and form is a wonderful space to live and work in, an it's no exception that Lucy and Saul revel in this time of year, as their gardening lives start to get busier with sowing, planting, propagation, mowing, mulching and all other gardening tasks.

Organic Gardening For Beginners: Tips To Plan And Grow Your Own Productive Garden
Title: Raised Beds vs In-Ground Gardening: A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing the Best Method for YouWelcome to another episode of Organic Gardening for Beginners! Today, we are going to delve into the garden-starting world of raised beds and in-ground gardening. I'll share insights on the advantages and disadvantages of these two popular gardening methods so you can choose the right method for your space.Raised Beds vs In-Ground Gardening: Pros and ConsRaised bed gardening offers numerous advantages. For starters, the setup is generally faster, and you have more control over soil quality. This style also promises improved soil quality and easier maintenance. Raised beds can also drain and warm up faster in the spring, allowing for earlier planting. However, these benefits come with a few challenges, the main one being the cost and effort required to set them up. On the other hand, in-ground gardening is a budget-friendly option that integrates with your existing landscape. Though often underestimated, this method can be just as effective as raised beds. However, it's essential to note that in-ground gardens can be more vulnerable to flooding, especially in rainy areas, and may be more susceptible to invasive weeds or grasses. Tips for a Successful Garden, No Matter the MethodRegardless of the gardening method you choose, a few tips will help it thrive.Composting is a vital practice that enriches your soil, improves its texture and structure, and boosts its nutrient content. Mulching is another beneficial practice that suppresses weeds, retains moisture, prevents erosion, and adds organic matter to the soil over time. Lastly, planting intensively can help minimize weeds and maximize your space. Try succession planting and companion planting for two ways to make sure you always have something growing in your garden. Happy gardening!
In the Arkansas delta, where cotton was king, cropping systems were dictated by what was good for cotton. When Matt Miles started producing corn in 2006, he planted single row corn on 38 inch spacing on raised beds with furrow irrigation between the beds. Then he experimented with twin rows atop each raised bed and the results have never varied — twin rows trump single rows by at least ten bushels per acre. Matt and Layne Miles explain the practices they employ to maximize twin row production. Presented by Loveland Products
Growing cannabis in raised beds is the topic for today's grow guides, and joining us as a special guest we have Marco! Marco grows cannabis, organically, in raised beds.

Wythe and Melissa are delighted to chat with not one but two experts on urban agriculture from two different parts of the United States Department of Agriculture: Nina Bhattacharyya, Urban Agriculture Specialist at the USDA Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production (UAIP), and Blake Glover, State Conservationist at the New York State Office of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).Nina and Blake clarify how the USDA supports urban growers around the country, with a focus on the People's Garden program, founded in 2009 and renewed in 2022, which includes sites in Washington D.C. and New York City (Garden of Happiness, Taqwa Community Farm, and the Urban Soils Institute on Governors Island). In fact, gardens across the country can participate in the People's Garden program by registering online at usda.gov/peoples-garden/registration-form.We talk with Nina and Blake about urban agriculture policy across levels, local conservation practices, composting, how people in cities come to engage in agriculture, and how that interest empowers communities and transforms food systems. We also discuss the hurdles that many community gardens face, including zoning and permitting, access to water, and funding. One key point is that the People's Garden program can provide funds to upgrade urban garden and farm infrastructure. And NRCS supports via funds and knowledge regarding high tunnels and other technologies that not only conserve soil but help local gardeners and farmers grow food for more of the year, and thus help communities become more food-secure.And in recent news, the Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production (OUAIP) has provided additional resources and networking opportunities for the 1300+ registered gardens network. These resources include a webinar series and a subgroup on the Extension Foundation Connect site to help gardens network with each other. This is also a way for USDA to share funding opportunities with the garden network. Finally, OUAIP is highlighting gardens from across the country through our People's Garden website, the Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production newsletter (sign-up here), and USDA social media.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Azure Farm is located just outside the tiny town of Adairsville, Georgia about an hour north of Atlanta. We moved out here and started our farm in pursuit of a more simple lifestyle. We wanted to get back to the basics. The rat race hustle and bustle was quickly replaced by a love for gardening, harvesting food, quiet evenings with the sounds of crickets, and sunny azure sky days. We hope sharing peeks into our daily lives can inspire you to live more of your life outdoors and to ultimately slow down. We are passionate that we all must slow down to really appreciate what matters in life.
