Welcome to a 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.
This episode: Using the soil food web involves feeding the microbes. This week’s discussion centers around microbe food. What should you use? Along the way, learn about the newly discovered role of bacterial rhizophagy, in which bacteria feed plants internally and what to use to start your season off right.
