Welcome to our weekly podcast with longtime Anchorage Daily News garden writer and author Jeff Lowenfels and co-host Jonathan White. It’s a companion to Jeff’s weekly ADN gardening columns and his popular series of books.
This week Jeff and Jonathan wrap up 2023 by encouraging folks to make sure and recycle their Christmas trees.
Next, the team brings in 2024 by discussing some New Year’s gardening resolutions. These include:
- Stop using artificial nutrients
- Use (and make) more compost
- Grow something from seed
- Roll seeds in mycorrhizal fungi
- Test your soil
- Stop rototilling
- No bare soil
- Feed the microbes
- Share the food from your gardens
