  • Favourite Gardening Podcast

    I’m in Australia in a cool, frost prone soggy corner and honestly this is the best gardening advice for my climate. I listen to episodes from 6 months ago to keep it in season with the antipodes. The only critique is every time they talk about their hot dry summers and cold damp winters I want to shout— PINK CASCADE LEPTOSPERMUMS, HONEY MYRTLE MELALEUCA, AUSSIE BOX WESTRINGIA, CALLISTEMONS!! We’ve been dealing with this hot+dry, cold+soggy climate for 100 years!!

  • Music over talk

    Have recently discovered this very interesting podcast. Am waaay over here in Oz. The only thing that I have difficulty with is that you put music behind a large percentage of the talk. I have a brain condition which makes the task of separating these. Your music between segments is good but sadly I mightn’t be able to continue. I asked my neurosurgeon said my feelings were quite valid Thanks

  • Very interesting

    Usefull and interesting. But please stop the silly music behind the voices like today with Nick. It makes it difficult to follow. Because of that only 4 stars.

517: How to feed birds, a turf masterclass, and another essential job for autumn
Q: For people listening at home who want to re-turf their own lawns, how do they do it? Where do they start, Jim?
The scale determines whether removal is done by hand or with machinery, but careful ground preparation and grading are the crucial steps before laying turf.
517: How to feed birds, a turf masterclass, and another essential job for autumn
Q: Why are you re-turfing the turf here at this time of year, Jim?
The formal landscape needs fine turf restored after tulip planting, mould damage and broadleaf weeds affected its appearance.
515 - The Plant Review: Waxcap Wonderlands, ancient apples, and your questions answered
Q: What are some drought-tolerant plants that stood out during the summer?
Plants such as echiums, Allium 'Millennium', globe thistle, haploscaphor scaposa, Lepicinia hastata, and Origanum pandanifolium showed resilience, continuing to bloom and support pollinators even under heat stress.
515 - The Plant Review: Waxcap Wonderlands, ancient apples, and your questions answered
Q: What can we learn from the Lady Thornycroft apple story for modern gardeners?
Her late-life apple breeding and the hunt for missing cultivar samples illustrate the importance of maintaining a National Collection, documenting heritage varieties, and the potential to uncover lost horticultural treasures through careful archiving and collaboration with collections like Sparsholt.
515 - The Plant Review: Waxcap Wonderlands, ancient apples, and your questions answered
Q: What exactly makes a lawn an ancient lawn, and how can you tell if your lawn qualifies?
An ancient lawn is not only about age but also about how it has been managed; a lawn around a century old that has been softly managed and supports a diverse fungal and plant community is likely ancient, with signs found in its biodiverse life and fungi like wax caps.
