The Urban Farm Podcast With Greg Peterson

723: Bodacious Garden.A Rosie on the House Radio Show.In This Podcast:This is the January 2023 show discussing how to grow your own BODACIOUS edible garden.  Greg covers all the bases – sun, water, soil, and garden helpers.  Plant your garden where it will get just the right balance of sun and shade by determining your garden’s solar aspect and observing the light as it moves throughout your space each day and each season.  Seek out every drop of water available to you.  Before you default to the typical drip irrigation system, consider also harvesting grey water, rainwater and air conditioning condensate.  The next, and most important component is healthy soil.  You’ll want to be sure it contains all five of the following: dirt, airspace, water, organic matter, and living organisms.  Greg talks about how to improve soil that is lacking in any of these things.  And last but certainly not least, he explains how chickens and weeds make fantastic garden workers.  &nbs
