“This podcast breakdowns the barriers and uncertainty of gardening to provide listeners with the knowledge to go forth and garden. Joe Lamp’l is that rare professional who is both a wealth of detailed information and can teach those skills and knowledge, making professional knowledge accessible to any audience. Joe has the horticulture pedigree and down to earth demeanor to be able to describe the workings of mycorrhizal fungi and botanical latin while also allowing for the simple pleasures of sipping coffee in the garden or pursuing a seed catalog and dreaming of future harvests. Whether a novice or master gardener Joe will provide you with something new.
As a television host Joe is always conscious of the images he is creating in his audience’s mind, which makes this a gardening podcast that you can actually follow along with even when it is audio only. But, Joe provides lots of extra resources, detailed show-notes, a website with excellent guides and quality videos that offer comprehensive instructions so that you can actually practice the information on your own. Joe is an organic gardener from (below) the ground up and always speaks with a respect for nature that reminds his audience that we are to work with our environment not against it, to ensure both a great garden and a healthier planet for all.
Along with his infectious curiosity and deep affinity for compost, Joe backs up every episode with science based explanations for WHY techniques and tips work (or don’t) in the garden and introduces his audience to experts such Craig LeHoullier, Lee Reich, Margaret Roach, and Linda Chalker-Scott and more, each of whom bring valuable insights and provide great repore. Also once you start harvesting loads of produce in your home garden - do yourself a favor and check out Theresa Loe’s podcast “Living Homegrown” to learn how to cook and preserve the harvests.
