Welcome to a new weekly podcast with longtime Anchorage Daily News garden writer and author Jeff Lowenfels, and co-hosted by Jonathan White. Think of it as a companion to Jeff’s weekly columns and his popular series of books.
Join Jeff and Jonathan as they dive deep into organic gardening and the soil food web — breaking down the science, giving expert gardening advice and busting those long-held myths about how to help your garden grow.
In nature, plants use the soil food web in order to obtain nutrients, build soil structure and remain healthy. Can this natural system be used to grow plants in your yard? Absolutely. This podcast will tell you how.
Hosts: Jeff Lowenfels and Jonathan White. Produced by Evan Phillips.
