The Creeps try simple and easy home cooked items that were scratch made by our host Kelsey, using a hand picked selection of fresh ingredients from our latest visit to the Bridgeport Farmer's Market. Here's what we tried: A big Sandwich, on whole wheat bread, piled high with so many veggies, including grilled marinated eggplant, feta, and a tangy slaw. She also made peach crumble for dessert. Ingredients pulled from The Vegetable Garden, & Green Thumb Botanicals The Creeps also talk about Matt's love of Australian filmmaking, affordable meal prep, and onions. Then, Matt talks about several young backpackers who went missing and were killed brutally in New South Wales, Australia in the late 80's to early 90s, true stories which influenced the Wolf Creek series of films and shows.

In this 224th Episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast, I discuss three critical elements of vegetable garden layout design and planning. I have always said that there are three elements for successfully growing plants: light, water and nutrients. It is time to take these three elements from theory to reality as I show you how these three elements impacted my new vegetable garden layout here at The Landing. My hope is that you can implement some of these ideas and concepts in your own garden, whether it is a brand new garden or one that has been around for a while. Now, there is a lot to do before I begin planting in my new garden. I have a lot more prep work on the future garden area including adding my new Wicking Bed Gardens and Hybrid Rain Gutter Grow Systems, placing mulch and erecting a fencing and gates.

In Episode 330, Q&A - Gail from Orangevale, CA wants to start a vegetable and flower garden in her backyard, which is currently covered in Bermuda grass. Debbie Flower,  America's Favorite Retired College Horticulture professor, and I suggest waiting a year and using soil solarization to kill off the Bermudagrass. We also recommend starting small with container gardening and using organic mulch to keep the soil soft. We discuss the challenges of dealing with Bermudagrass and the benefits of soil solarization. For the next question, from David in Arizona, Master Gardener and vegetable expert Gail Pothour touches on David's question about the use of black plastic mulch on the soil (not usually recommended for home gardeners), and comments on David's suggestion of using hydrogen peroxide as a treatment for early blight on tomatoes (Nope.

This week we unpack the secret behind my favorite garden amendment as of late - wool pellets. They are SUCH a triple threat - holding moisture, repelling slugs, and slow-releasing nitrogen. We talk to Megan, the founder of Kestrel Ridge Pellet Co., who started her business as a way to make use of the incredibly wasteful wool industry. The wool by-products that come from either unsellable or undesirable wool make for fantastic fertilizer. When pelleted, it's easy for the home gardener to use. Megan walks us through how she got started in this business, and why wool does in fact make such a great amendment. To get more info on Kestrel Ridge Pellet Co. and to order wool pellets, go HERE.
