  • Where’s Monty Don?

    Listening to this podcast is like listening to old men gossip, there are few facts and old, scientifically disproven info prevails. I’d encourage you to get new blood, permaculture designers, horticultural professionals, for example, people who don’t promote beer for slugs, growing only showy non-natives. It’s time all home gardeners imbraced helping the pollinators, wildlife and adapting to the climate crisis.
