Episode 61, Talking Compost with Keisha Wheeler

Hi everyone, The is the Get in My Garden Podcast. I hope you are all safe and happy and making the best of your at-home time!

This is episode #61, and we meet Keisha Wheeler of Catalyst BioAmendments, a composting and soil company she runs with her business partners Chris Ernst, Zach Ellis and Gregory Munn in Northern California. Follow their adventure on instagram @catalyst_microbe_adventure.

Keisha is also very involved with Elaine Ingham’s online Soil Food Web School, which is where I originally met her. She is a wealth of knowledge on the subject, and today we will learn a bit about her back story and some fundamentals of composting.

This podcast has moved to a different platform, and I will now be focusing on shorter and more regular episodes, and bite-sized interviews. This means repeat guest experts going forward which is what I’ve been talking about for a very long time. So, you can expect more content from my interview with Keisha, and also from Chris later in the month.

Another thing that is finally taking shape is the newsletter. It will include a synopsis of each podcast, that supplemental content I’ve been promising for a very long time, bios and info about the guest experts and their work, plus highlight posts from the facebook group I created called Soil Balance with Microbes, Minerals, Fungi, Fertilizer and Bugs; and it will evolve to so much more.

You can still sign up on getinmygarden.com in the yellow newsletter bar, or if you are not yet a member of the facebook group, search for the group starting with Soil Balance, then enter your email where it asks for it in the signup questions.

The subjects of the podcast have been quite broad, and I want to hone in and focus mostly on the soil food web, fungi, insects and natural farming. Please send me a message on instagram @getinmygarden or via the website with your suggestions and opinions about this. Looking forward to hearing from you!
