Welcome to our weekly podcast with longtime Anchorage Daily News garden writer and author Jeff Lowenfels and co-host Jonathan White. Think of it as a companion to Jeff’s weekly columns and his popular series of books. Each week, Jeff and Jonathan dive deep into organic gardening and the soil food web, breaking down science, providing expert gardening advice — and busting some long-held myths about how to help your garden grow.
This week, Jeff and Jonathan talk about ways to “firewise” your home or property. They also discuss transplanting plants, shrubs or trees, as well as the abundance of mushrooms and fungi popping up around town.
Finally, the duo addresses some listener questions, with a focus on composting.
