In part one of this conversation, I talk with Kevin Espiritu, the mastermind and talent behind Epic Gardening and the author of Field Guide to Urban Gardening. We recorded our conversation in June when Kevin was in the middle of his first annual Apocalypse Challenge in which he’s only eating food he’s grown or foraged, or food he’s bartered for using his homegrown stores. (Think potatoes!) We also hear how he stumbled into gardening after wrapping up a degree in accounting and how Epic Gardening came to be.
