  • Great Phoenix Gardening advice

    I love listening to farmer Greg and his guests. Such a wide range of topics. Every episode leaves me excited to research or implement something new in the garden. I have steadily become more successful at gardening in the valley.

  • It’s okay for new gardens

    Greg is very annoying in lots of ways. You’ll pick up on that pretty quick. Good guests. Particularly the seed chats with the homie from Idaho.

  • Superb show!

    I am blown away by how great Greg is at teasing out stories from his guests! That makes it so much easier to remember the practical tips from each episode, because they are tied to specific anecdotes. Brilliant podcast!

  • Dry So. Cal.

    Thanks so much for tips on dry farming. Will you be addressing fog collection for water? We sometimes have “pea soup” mornings and I am wondering how useful this method is.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

992: How Microbes Feed Healthy Plants w/ Landen Schaelling
Q: How can microscopy be used by non-professionals to improve soil health?
Basic microscope reviews can be done remotely; sending a soil sample allows a specialist to observe the microbial community visually and provide actionable guidance, helping gardeners understand what their soil is actually doing and what to improve.
992: How Microbes Feed Healthy Plants w/ Landen Schaelling
Q: What practical steps can a home gardener take to apply this knowledge?
Start with high-quality compost that supports fungal and microbial diversity, then create and apply microbial ferments (SAM blends) either as foliar sprays or soil drenches to boost the plant's microbiome and its nutrient uptake.
992: How Microbes Feed Healthy Plants w/ Landen Schaelling
Q: What exactly is rhizophagy and how does it change the way we think about plant nutrition?
Rhizophagy is the process by which plant roots pull in and digest microbes like bacteria and yeast, using their nutrients and growth hormones to support the plant. This means plants can uptake living microbes directly, not just dissolved nutrients, which explains the rapid benefits observed from compost teas and microbial applications.
989: Why Local Farm's Matter with Beth Cole
Q: How can beginners get started in gardening without a huge upfront investment?
She describes the plant-starts business model that offers a 10-by-20 tray with 50 cells, filled with quality soil and organic seeds, enabling beginners to assemble an entire garden for around $60 and learn by doing.
989: Why Local Farm's Matter with Beth Cole
Q: What lessons from flood events shaped your farming approach?
Beth recounts how the Hurricane Helene flooding initially seemed catastrophic, but the extended water exposure allowed alluvial soil deposition, improving soil organic matter and underscoring the importance of healthy floodplains for resilience and biodiversity.
