Meaghan EM ,

Love it

I always look forward to this podcast!

Ray Mae 2023 ,

Love this podcast!

Not only is this podcast a great source of information for gardening (local and otherwise) but I am learning so much about soil, composting, mulching, the environment, etc. I also love how these hosts take a natural approach to gardening and share experiments from their own yards. Thank you!

Where is Waldo ,

Best local info

Get your garden gloves out and learn lots to start digging that lawn up and putting in native plants. This is down to earth real talk! Try it even if you are not In Nebraska.
