In the early 2000s, Steve Churchill was fascinated by worms that moved into his hot compost pile after it cooled, transforming it into rich worm castings. This prompted his own research into the role of worms in soil, and he started his own worm bin. Steve founded the Urban Worm Company in 2014, which was at first an educational blog about vermicomposting.

Longevity in the garden doesn’t typically cross a gardener’s mind, as the seasons’ cycles and the life of plants predominate. But Madeline Hooper found that proper and consistent body movement dispels the myth that gardening is inevitably strenuous. In this full episode of the Beet Podcast, Madeline and Kevin discuss this most important topic and explore how you can garden in a healthier, more mindful way.

Connect with Madeline Hooper:

Madeline Hooper is an expert gardener and recognized horticulturalist who cultivates 10 acres in upstate New York. Through her experience, she was invited to become a trustee of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and then the Vice Chair of Berkshire Botanical Garden, where she has worked for the past ten years. After spending these 30 years gardening Madeline found a solution to the aches and pains that come with it by learning to move her body to prevent strain and stress properly. She shares what she learned with others in her GardenFit television show.
