  • Great Podcast

    Good Evening Jerry, I started listening to your Under The Canopy podcast recently as I have listened to the other podcasts under the same umbrella: Outdoor Journal, Ugly Pike, Diaries of a Lodge Owner, etc.

    The Trapping & Working Dogs ones are great, you are very well spoken & have very intelligent & passionate guests . I have thoroughly enjoyed them. Some day I would like to try your chaga product when my financial situation is a little more stable. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻👍🏻

Episode 144: You Can Help Save Black Ash By Collecting Seeds
Q: How can listeners participate and where do they start?
Listeners should visit invasivespeciescentre.ca to register for the Black Ash Community Action Network, review the seed collection protocol, learn where to collect seeds, and ship them to the centre for processing and storage in New Brunswick.
Episode 144: You Can Help Save Black Ash By Collecting Seeds
Q: Vince, what is the Black Ash Community Action Network and why is it needed?
The network is a province-wide volunteer effort to collect Black Ash seeds for long-term preservation, increase public awareness about emerald ash borer impacts, and partner with national and provincial bodies to safeguard the species and its ecological role.
Episode 146: Bring Back The Salmon
Q: Why release Atlantic Salmon at this site?
The site offers cold, well-oxygenated water with abundant tree cover and fewer predators, which helps the fry acclimate and grow before returning to the lake.
Episode 147: How Raised Garden Beds Boost Early Harvests And Save Your Knees
Q: How tall should raised beds be and what about soil depth and drainage?
Beds should typically be four inches down from the top of the soil for efficient watering, with soil depth around 12-18 inches to accommodate root crops; drainage is achieved by using open-bottom or raised bases to allow air and water movement.
Episode 147: How Raised Garden Beds Boost Early Harvests And Save Your Knees
Q: Tell us about raised gardens and their main advantages and disadvantages.
Bev explains that raised gardens offer easier access for people with limited mobility, heat up faster for earlier crops, and can be configured in practical dimensions like four by eight feet. Disadvantages include higher costs for metal frames and the need for ongoing soil replenishment and drainage considerations.
