  • Farming is Cool

    Loved the original NTG interview format, crop specific vids and Mimi’s episodes! Jesse’s got a great radio voice especially when the cadence is at a conventional speed.

  • Had to drop it

    The world is crazy, I get it.

    I just want to learn on gardening and enjoy a podcast. When the “Palestine” political discussion had to be addressed -Im out. Unfollow.

    Don’t know why people feel like they need to cut their audience in half on divisive issues. Issues that neither side actually listens to true unbiased facts but to talking heads and social media.

    Good content otherwise, its a shame

  • Soil science and hope

    I’ve had Jesse in my ear for the last year, and I’m so grateful. I came for the farming advice, and I’ve stayed for his incredible attention to what else is possible in a country hellbent on destroying its natural resources.

  • Too much non farming content and a lot of ads for the 5 minutes of good material.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Two Unusual Cover Crops with Great Potential
Q: Is chia just green manure, root sugar, and weed dampening, or does it have other uses as a cover crop?
Frost describes chia as a prolific, low-water cover crop that produces substantial biomass. In cooler regions, flowering and viable seed production may be interrupted by frost, while warmer climates may have greater risk of seeding. He says its soil-health benefits and large-scale cover-crop use remain uncertain.
Tricks and Tools for Farming With Kiddos
Q: How would you suggest building interest in gardening, especially for the mental health and nutrition benefits for my extremely disinterested teens?
Jesse recommends inviting rather than forcing children to participate, following their curiosity, and creating enjoyable projects such as growing a chosen crop, making flower bouquets, or harvesting popcorn. He emphasizes that exposure to a garden and fresh food can matter even if children are not interested right away.
Tricks and Tools for Farming With Kiddos
Q: Do you have any tools, carriers or tips that really help?
Jesse recommends an ergonomic baby carrier for limited tasks, a supervised outdoor play area, and especially hiring part-time childcare during busy periods. He cautions against expecting a carrier to make extended work in hot conditions comfortable or safe.
How We Plant Our Garlic
Q: Do you have any thoughts about engineering in this field or culture?
Jesse Frost suggests pursuing work with small agricultural equipment companies, offering farm-specific engineering consultations, gaining experience on a farm, or starting a farm to apply engineering skills to practical production problems.
What's the Deal with Plant-Based Ground Covers
Q: Any tips on how to increase successful cuttings? What's the deal with rooting compound? How does it affect soil health?
Jesse advises researching each plant's timing, sanitation, humidity, heat, light, and potting mix requirements individually. Rooting compounds are not likely to greatly affect soil life, but some contain fungicides or antimicrobials; willow water, aloe vera, or suitable organic products are alternatives.
