#12 1/2 One More Sip: Gardening Clickbait


Listen Later

Welcome to One More Sip (of The Garden Mixer)

…a short form 15-minute episode for in-between weeks where Leslie & Marianne try — so far, successfully — to discuss one random topic that deserves some attention. But not necessarily agreement.

 

This week we're talking gardening click-bait. The good, the bad, and the what-the-actual-hell?

 

There have always been hucksters, shysters, snake oil salesmen, and dodgy characters selling magic beans.

 

And now we have the internet.

 

What’s the best way to approach the clickbait that tempts us all?  Leslie’s approach is to watch two seconds and send it to Marianne to annoy her. Marianne’s approach is to dutifully wade through it and get annoyed.  Smart people can do better than both of them. But what’s truly bad? What’s just clever marketing? What do you believe? Where should you go for good information? Links in the full show notes at The Garden Mixer’s Substack.
