This week, Jeff and Jonathan discuss the undervalued potential of cover crops, moving beyond just clover - an unexpected ally in your garden, not a weed!
Later, they talk about seasonal care for lilacs and other bud-prepping plants, sharing optimal times to prune and deadhead for a fruitful following year.
They wrap up by answering questions about the shelf life of soil food web supplements, as well offering advice on the disposal of plant debris.
