Teaming With Microbes

Don't smell the daisies


Listen Later

This week, Jeff and Jonathan debunk the myth that soil feeding is a fall-only activity and discuss innovative soil nourishing options - one even involves urine! 

They also explore the beneficial role of the soil food web in heavy rain conditions.  Other topics include the relationship between daisies and dandelions, the importance of selective mowing, and  the challenging decisions around meadow creation and plant relocation. 

Finally, they explore the concept of second harvests, with the guys offering their top crop suggestions that require less effort than their predecessors. Remember, resist the urge to smell the daisies!
