Show notes

Peter Donegan chats with vermiculturist [worm farmer...] Tara Duggan of The Celtic Worm Company based in Cork. Started just 2 years ago, The Celtic Worm Company is the first company to successfully commercialise vermicomposting in Ireland.

Peter asks why Tara chose vermiculture and why a collective of over 30 farmers and locals set up a community-owned company doing worm farming. It’s all a little different and it is a fricking great story.

166: Gary Graham, Bloom, 2014. Part 1 May 23, 2014

Show notes

Peter Donegan talks to Gary Graham, head honcho of Bloom-In-The-Park. This isn't the first time we've been to Bloom, nor will it be our last. This is a two-part interview and in the first of the series they discuss the childhood of Bloom, which is as Gary describes, "still a baby" compared to the RHS Chelsea. However the affiliation with Bord Bia means that it's far more than just horticulture focussed displays, and he explains this in greater detail.

It’s great to hear to somebody so enthusiastic about gardening and so willing to pass on the knowledge they’ve learned along the way. Also brilliant to have an expert recognise that they can transfer their own skills to those who are willing to learn.
