Our guest on Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem is Rick Bickling of the Square Foot Gardening Foundation.  The Foundation recently published a 4th edition of the Square Foot Gardening book, which originally was Mel Bartholomew's book. Mel -- who was a guest on this program has passed on, but the Foundation he left behind continues to spread the Square Foot Gardening method to a back yard near you.  

The Square Foot Gardening technique is a raised bed with specialized soil and a divider marking out the square foot plots.  You can read more about it on the Foundations' web site at Square Foot Gardening Dot Org.

Welcome to Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem, the Bay Area's premiere local talk show about Organic Gardening!  

Our guest this morning is Wendy Sandoval, part of the family that just took over ownership of Botanica Nursery and Gardens in Sebastopol; it's right along Highway 116 just East of Downtown Sebastopol.  These gardens and nursery have a rich history -- and several names -- spanning back decades, yet some of the same people have worked and propagated Rhododendrons and Azaleas this whole time.  It was wonderful to hear how the new owners are enthusiastic about their new and historically significant nursery and gardens; they're open daily and no longer charge admission to tour the gardens!

Our show is lightly edited as presented in this podcast, to remove musical segments out of legal necessity.
