Hour #2 of Bob Tanem In The Garden

First we finished up with last hours' guest Tom Bressen -- then Edie walked through this weeks' edition of What's Going On For Gardeners in the Bay Area; finally, we got back to all you patient callers from across the regionand beyond -- America's Happy Gardener, Bob Tanem, welcomes you to KSFO!

Our guest this morning was Tom Bressen, founder of The Urban Farmer Store -- talking about his specialty and that of the store, which is, drip irrigation.   Drip has evolved a lot from the days of crude emitters and perforated hoses, and Toms' specialty for years has been fitting drip irrigation to landscapes and ornamental gardens across the Bay Area.

Our guest at 8:30 was Joel Karsten, author of the Straw Bale Gardens series of books, pioneering the revolutionary "container" gardening method he's developed and promoted: turning bales of straw or other vegetative waste into fertile, self-contained planters that last for 2 to 3 years.

Edie Tanem's bright and cheerful voice kicks off our 2nd hour; she's got a list like no other: Stuff To Do for Gardeners, all around the bay.   Then it's right back to our busy phones; it's summer gardening on KSFO!

Our guest at 8:30 was Mark Highland, author of Practical Organic Gardening: The No-Nonsense Guide to Growing Naturally.  Down to earth (just like his subject matter), Bob quizzed him up and down about his take on straightforward organic gardening at home.   For the rest of the hour, we took calls from gardeners up and down the Bay Area.
