What if I told you it’s possible to grow more food in less space with half the effort? As a busy mom of four and a business owner, I wouldn’t have been able to make gardening work for me without this planting method. So it’s safe to say that the Gardenary planting method completely changed my life. You may be surprised by where I learned this planting method originally. (Spoiler: It didn’t come from a gardening book.)

In this episode, I’m going to outline my tried and true, game-changing planting method so you can implement it in your garden, too. Don’t worry—there aren’t any charts or lists of information you need to memorize about each plant. Actually, most of the things that stress you out about gardening (e.g., pests, disease, chores) are no longer an issue when you plant this way.

If this sounds like something you’re down to try, this video is for you!

Is it better to start from seed or buy plants from the store? The answer is a little more complicated than just telling you one or the other. In this episode, I share my system for figuring out whether you should do seeds or plants, which takes the guesswork out of planning your garden. 

Trust me, once you know how to categorize each plant with my tried and true system, you’ll never be stuck deciding between SEED versus PLANT ever again.

If you have trouble pooping, then you need a garden. Yep, we’re actually going there 💩 today on the podcast because so many of us have trouble GOING. In this video, learn how the garden can make pooping easier and healthier. 

There are so many factors at play when you have gut issues: living in an overly sanitized world, eating poorly, experiencing too much stress, breaking your routines, not exercising, not sleeping, and so on. 

Here are 5 ways that having a garden can help you move things along: 

1. Getting your hands dirty (in the soil, that is) helps build your gut microbiome. 

2. You’ll have access to fresher vegetables than what you can find at the grocery store. That means your veggies have a higher water concentration and more fiber, which is critical for going #2. 

3. You'll eat a wider variety of nutrients because the grocery store only stocks foods that store well. 

4. You’ll build your routine of checking on your garden, and your gut loves a routine. 

5. Gardening is proven to lower your stress levels. Less stress means less cortisol and a less inflamed and imbalanced GI system.
