    It‘s so nice to think, ah I would like to learn more about a certain farming or gardening skill in detail, and be able to find a beyond-surface-introduction podcast for it. Twice when I‘ve searched for the obsession of the day this podcast has shown up! And it has not disappointed. I really enjoy the density of information and if I manage to do some successful grafting it will be to your credit. Thanks for your work, you can tell you‘re really obsessed with it and that‘s awesome.
