If you’re in an area where you can start a fall garden, you are probably in a warm climate like ours. We have received a lot of the same questions this summer asking about fall gardening. We also noticed that a lot of our listeners felt discouraged to start their gardens after a very hot summer.  Those very common questions and grievances inspired this episode.

We’re taking 10 of the common fall problems we all have as gardeners and giving you 10 simple, affordable solutions to those problems.

Don't forget to listen to past episodes if you'd like in depth information about some of the tips and topics mentioned today!

Have you ever been frustrated with a gardening product because it fell apart after a couple uses?

Do you find yourself looking for the cheapest option when you buy garden supplies from a big box store assuming it will just fall apart at the end of the season, and you’ll have to replace it?

Do you remember the good old days when products were made well? Okay, maybe we don’t remember, but I bet many of you listening today do.

America has traveled far in it’s quest to bring you more affordable products, but over time we have sacrificed quality at great costs. Today, we’ll look a little closer to home to offer you a few companies that prioritize products made in America and value the quality of those products.

Kristin and Spencer are back talking about garden techniques you may, or may not, have heard of. 

We’ll explore ideas like grounding, gardening by phases of the moon, and more, to offer you a little background into how these concepts may have been applied by your ancestors, a little scientific evidence about whether or not these techniques work if we’ve found any, our opinions, and ideas on how to integrate these concepts into your own life whether you garden or not.
