Interpret Soil Tests to Grow Abundant Gardens with Erica & Alice of Growabundant.com Mar 03, 2025

Show notes

Erica Reinheimer wrote in the introduction to the intelligent gardener, "Gardening has been my calling. I like the listening part. I like sitting close to the plants in the morning, being with them, connecting. Understanding how minerals contribute to the garden has deepened that connection." While Erika and Alice Reinheimer, my guests today, left their lives in high tech to, in their words, grow excellent food, eat excellent food, help people grow excellent food, play music with friends, putter around the house, backpack, meditate somatically, watch movies, drink good wine, car camp, get real, and get cats. And if that doesn't make them sound like you want to be friends with them, I don't know what will. They created Grow Abundant Gardens, a website where gardeners, professional or personal, can get incredible insights and other little nuggets from two exceptional gardeners, or even professional advice about how to interpret and actionize soil tests. So whatever you grow, and however good you are at it, I guarantee Erika and Alice still have something to offer you.

Farming that Protects & Restores Wild Nature with Jo Ann Baumgartner of Wild Farm Alliance Feb 24, 2025

Show notes

For my last episode, it was an honor to talk with Jo Ann Baumgartner, the executive director of Wild Farm Alliance. Wild Farm Alliance is celebrating 25 years of working to promote healthy viable agriculture that helps protect and restore wild nature. You can get involved with their work if you are interested in having nesting boxes or raptor perches on your farm, AND THEN your farm can be included on the VER YCOOL flyways trail. Stay tuned for the end of the conversation, I have some parting thoughts about the current state of agricultural research...
