Buying ladybugs for biological control of pests can contribute to depleting the ladybug population in the wild and raises other concerns as well. Meanwhile, non-native ladybugs do the same valuable work — eating aphids and other pests that harm crops — but are often cast in a bad light anyway. My guest in this week's encore, Dr. Kaitlin Stack Whitney, an environmental studies scholar as well as a home gardener, explains that non-native insects don't always deserve their bad rap.

1What if the most fertile, resilient garden is one that feeds itself? Legendary organic grower Eliot Coleman returns to the podcast this week to challenge the idea that gardeners need to buy fertility in a bag. Drawing on decades of experience at Four Season Farm, Eliot explains how green manure and living soil can provide everything your garden needs — without importing soil inputs that could be inferior or, worse, contaminated.

Plants that live indoors with us over the winter — both houseplants and those that are only stored inside the house seasonally — need a few things from us to get through the darker, colder months. At the same time, too much coddling during this period of semi-dormancy can doom plants. This week, I am sharing how to prepare plants for the transition and how to strike the right balance to keep them happy and healthy.

Later summer is a test for any gardener. Heat, humidity and relentless pests push both plants and gardeners to their limits. In my garden, some crops flourish despite the challenges, while others demand constant attention — from cherry tomatoes still producing in late August to squash battling bugs on vertical trellises. In this week's encore presentation, I am resharing my August 2024 audio journal, which I recorded in my garden so I could walk you through everything happening with my plants in late summer and the valuable lessons I learned.

Bottled water is a lifesaver on a farm where heat illness is an ever-present danger. I keep a case in the shed closest to the garden. I don't like its flavor but when I've worked too long in the heat, I don't care about the taste or the temperature. But for regular drinking, we have refillable water bottles, a glass water pitcher always in the fridge, and glasses at every sink. We love and are careful with water because our well can't produce enough for both house and garden. Scarce = valued.
oh my word! I've never known anyone else who knew that saying. Growing up on a farm, we regularly heard it as "You gotta eat a peck of dirt before you die." Some people may think that it means a peck like a chicken pecks its feed, but it actually refers to a peck basket, a volume measure where 1 peck = 8.81 liters and 4 pecks = a bushel. So a peck of green beans is enough to fill up your canner, a peck of apples is enough for 2 or 3 pies, and a peck of dirt is a bit overwhelming to think about.
My grandfather was a farmer. He taught me "Clay in sand is money in hand, sand in clay is money thrown away."
I have a pile of wood chips on one end of my garden and a compost pile on the other, about 60 feet away. I use a half-bushel basket which I fill with weeds, carry to the compost and dump, carry to the wood chips and fill, and bring back to the weeded area to cover the bare spots.
It’s very disappointed by this episode. Getting a rash versus getting cancer all out for the rash dressing appropriately protecting your face and eyes peeling the clothes off including your shoes gloves come off last. Everything goes in the washer take a shower sometimes the harder way is the better way, as a nurse, I’m very disappointed the encouragement of this episode using herbicides that are known carcinogens. The easiest way is not always the best.

I am able to listen. Very interesting.
For some reason I can’t get this episode to play. Does anyone else have the same problem?
can she say "right" one more time?
If either of you actually wanted to tell the truth, climate engineering and Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) would have been the 1st thing out of your mouths. Dane Wigington (geoengineeringwatch.org) is the only man I know that is openly hitting the REAL issue head on. This EU Greta Thunberg climate change BS is a LIE! I like your show Joe, but if you are going to promote this crap and not address the real issues I'll go elsewhere.
enjoyed Craig's show on growing epic tomatoes. Thanks Craig. Looking forward to your next show.
Foundation Courses: Full Access $5,000.00 Nevermind, I'm not going to watch that, thank you. How does she argue that ridiculously expensive price point for a 40h course? No woder nobody knows about this.
I believe I walked half a mile before Joe Gardener got to business. blah blah and on he goes
I think "Back to Eden Gardening" has put no till gardening on the map more than anyone else.
Another very informative episode
love that Craig left Facebook and Twitter, it's so peaceful without them. I did 4 yrs ago it's been wonderful, they can be so toxic.
Amazing gardening show! Best ever! Informative and perfect for gardeners of all levels.
why why why..when we talk about water uses, everyone ignores how taxing the bottling companies are on our hydrological cycle? they take it for cheap, keep it store for profit and destroy ecosystems. why is this never spoken about?
Hey Joe, I'm a 1st season veg gardener in southern england. And I know I've just stuck gardening gold.... 2 of my must watched and listened to resources of information. Joe the gardener and Charles Dowling, as a newbie gardener the information and knowledge you guys provide has been invaluable for me to understand not just how to plant and grow veg, but how to feed the soil and all the organisms within. Which has been invaluable for me in my first season... So thanks to you and Charles I'm looking forward to over wintering and my 2nd season. Safe in the knowledge that my gardening neighbours (yourself and Charles) will be with me every step along the way. Keep up the fantastic work Joe.. And I can't wait for your 2nd part of your interview with Charles. Ken... #wegrowdailey
Going to listen to this one again, our lawn looks awful, we have a large lawn, we have lived here for 15 years and it gets worse every year. We hauled top soil to do landscaping some was good, some was sandy. We had a nice lawn for quite a few year but now it's burnt out in spots and much to my dismay my husband sprays for dandelion and weeds. Do you have any advice on this. Thanks Joe
