Bill has joined the podcast to share some of his knowledge from a life time in horticulture.
In this episode we learn a little about Bill's introduction to growing plants, from his early days of harvesting in school to help feed his fellow pupils to growing flowers, bedding, and vegetables for the commercial markets of London and Birmingham. We talk through some of the changes and improvements to our industry and how the chemicals we can use now are very different to the ones we used in the 70's.
We also learn a few tips on which way to wind your plants around canes in the Northern hemisphere and the benefits of different fertilizers and minerals to plants we are trying to grow,
Our thanks to Chiltern Music Therapy for providing the music.
