[audio:http://traffic.libsyn.com/joelampl/GGW037.mp3] Click the Arrow to Listen Now Organic labeling is becoming more common on the food and products we buy these days. While "Certified Organic" has become well know when it comes to selecting chemical-free edibles, there's another label that matters just as much when it comes to identifying the products that go into making those edibles certified. In this podcast, host Joe Lamp'l has a conversation with OMRI's (Organic Materials Review Institute) CEO, Peggy Miars, who walks us through the role that OMRI plays when it comes to organic labeling, and why it matters to household consumers.

[audio:http://traffic.libsyn.com/joelampl/GGW036.mp3] Click the Arrow to Listen Now As an avid reader of gardening magazines, there's one author I've been following for a number of years. And it's hard not too since he's in just about every magazine I read. I'm referring to author, professor, and horticulturist Lee Reich, Ph.D. He's all about the art and science of building the garden from the ground up, with an emphasis on organic gardening, compost and healthy soil. He's my kind of guy and I thought it was time we got together for a podcast conversation about some of those very issues, along with one that has me most intrigued. Lee wrote a book about the weedless garden, and I just had to learn more. This podcast covers that topic as we meet and learn more about the man who's writing the articles we read so often.
