In segment 1 Joey and Holly talk Common/uncommon Garden methods
Ground
Containers
Raised bed
Strawbale
Hydropoinice
Aquaponics
Indoor under grow lights
Hugula culture
Hügelkultur
is a horticultural technique where a mound constructed from decaying wood debris and other compostable biomass plant materials is later (or immediately) planted as a raised bed. Adopted by permaculture advocates, it is suggested the technique helps to improve soil fertility, water retention, and soil warming, thus benefiting plants grown on or near such mounds

walipini
An underground greenhouse is called a walipini in South America, from the Aymara Indian language, meaning “place of warmth.” As you dig, you save your upper-most topsoil to serve as the bottom of the greenhouse
Green house/ Low tunel/ high tunnel gardening
Square foot gardening
NO DIG
LASAGNA GARDENING
a method of layered vegetable gardening that reduces your workload. Lasagna gardening actually offers a reprieve from mismanaged gardening. This method is ideal if you have let your gardens go wild or have just inherited an unkempt yard.
The lasagna gardening method actually encourages neglect…sort of. Instead of taking the time to clear out unharvested crops, resilient weeds, or dead plants, simply compact them and place a compostable buffer on top: cardboard boxes, newspapers, straw, manure, leaves, or grass will do. Not only will this eliminate unsightly terrain, but you’ll notice that plants you smooshed to smithereens will actually persevere over time. Top off your layered garden with additional seedlings to get an amalgamation of crops: no digging, tilling, or weeding required.

5. What are some tips for those new to canning but feel apprehensive?
6. How can we find out more about you and your books?
George,
Q: I am interested in growing indoors using bags. I have a dry basement with an average temp of 65. Advice on lights is wanted due to their cost. I have grown in deep water hydroponics but the led cost is a big cost. I am retired and on a fixed income. So any leads or advice is good. I am considering broccoli, beet potatoes, maybe beans. Any advice is welcome. I listen regularly on Spotify
A: Thanks for your questions. You could grow in the 65 degrees basement, but beans would need a little more heat. Radishes and greens will work well if you want to grow those. bit of an investment, but we highly recommend the Happy Leaf Led. Here are a couple of videos where we chat with the inventor and owner of the company.
Q: I would like to pressure can apple juice but am unable to find any information on how to do this. For how long and at what pressure? I can find only how to water bath it. Thank you.
mariann
A:Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, it seems pressure canning apple juice is not something that is done. Water bath canning is the ideal and safest method.
Q: Hello Holly and Joey,
I discovered your show this past July. I’ve really enjoyed it and look forward to listening to it each week.
I live in Northeast Wisconsin. We’ve had our First frost already. So the night before I picked all my remaining Green tomatoes.
Do you have suggestions on ripening them indoors? Or recipes for utilizing green Tomatoes.
Thanks much.
Chesla
