My favorite gardening podcast
Very informative and easy to listen to. I’m lucky enough to be a Vermonter so the info is particularly relevant. Only 3 years into my natural and no-kill gardening and I’m hooked. This podcast is a regular “Go To” for me. Keep ‘em coming, please.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sow cool-season crops in hot July for a continuous vegetable harvest this fall

Q: Robin asks about repellents for earwigs in the greenhouse and peppers.

Charlie shares home remedies including rolled newspaper with oil and soy sauce, and a clay pot trap filled with wet material placed above plants to lure earwigs, which are then collected and disposed of in soapy water.

Q: Laurel asks about adding another raised bed and whether to use landscape fabric or other options.

Charlie recommends avoiding landscape fabric due to its impact on air, water, and microbial exchange, and suggests using organic materials like horse padding or cardboard as a base instead, followed by soil. He notes landscape fabric can be acceptable only if very large soil additions are planned.

More than just tawny orange, choose daylilies with other color and petal variations

Q: Would geraniums help crowd out poison ivy, and what should you do about a poison ivy patch?

Geraniums can help with grasses and some weeds but won't eliminate woody weeds like poison ivy. For poison ivy, wear protective clothing, remove it carefully, and after removal, plant native species to restore the area and reduce regrowth; avoid harsh chemical treatments if possible.

Q: What's the best way to handle seeds from plants and whether to cover with six inches of compost in a no-dig system?

In a no-dig system, self-sowing vegetables will often appear long before you're ready for compost. You can move them to another area or allow them to grown for succession planting, and you don't necessarily need six inches of compost each year; a couple inches can suffice to rejuvenate the bed.

How to rid your yard and garden of annual and perennial weeds

Q: James in Randolph asks for guidance on planting natives on a septic area without disturbing underground pipes.

Avoid perennials with deep, extensive taproots such as echinacea, baptisia, butterfly weed, lupines; prefer sun-loving creepers like creeping sedums and veronica, or shallow-rooted options for shade like lamium, mint, lambs ears, and coral bells; the goal is a wildflower perennial garden that won't risk piping and can be placed with suitable sun/shade choices.
