    #87 - Making Mushroom Growing Easy | Liam Kleyn [Grolia]

    In this episode, I’m joined by Liam Kleyn from Grolia, to talk about something that sounds simple in theory but can be surprisingly difficult in practice: growing mushrooms at home. We talk about why mushroom growing can be so frustrating for the average person, what Liam saw as the opportunity to make the process much simpler, and the thinking behind the new 'Flush' machine Grolia has developed to bring mushroom growing into the home. But there’s a lot more to it than just designing a machine. Liam takes me through the process of developing the idea, building prototypes, manufacturing it, and figuring out how to make something practical, functional and good enough to actually sit in someone’s kitchen. It’s a really interesting look at what happens when you take something that has traditionally been a little complicated and try to redesign the entire experience around making it accessible to everyday people.

    #86 - The Farm Life You've Always Wanted | Clara Roza [Crimson Crown Farm]

    What does it actually take to build a life around farming? In this episode, I sit down with Clara Roza from Crimson Crown Farm to talk about the reality of choosing agriculture as a way of life. We get into what drew Clara to farming, the challenges of building a farm from the ground up, learning to work with the land, producing real food, and creating a life that is connected to seasons, soil and community. Clara shares her experiences, lessons and perspective on small-scale farming, and what it took to make that farm dream a reality.

    #85 - Good Soil Makes Food Taste Better | Will Brinkerhoff

    Today on the show I am joined by Will Brinkerhoff, a soil scientist and chef who is helping highlight the link between beautiful regeneratively grown produce, soil quality, and the taste of the food itself. I loved getting to find out what it is like to cook with produce that is grown in the best ways possible, focusing on soil health, vitality, and regenerating the land alongside it... as well as what Will has been studying in his PhD in soil science. A great conversation and I know you'll love it too!

    #84 - How Natural Farming Empowers People | Chris Trump [Soil Steward]

    What a pleasure to sit down with the amazing Chris Trump! Chris has spent years learning how farmers can work with biology rather than constantly relying on purchased inputs, and this conversation goes right into that bigger question: How much of what a plant needs can actually be provided by a functioning soil ecosystem? We talk indigenous microorganisms, soil biology, mineral nutrition, plant health and nutrient density, along with where biology fits alongside minerals and amendments. We also get into farmer independence, what Chris has learned from taking Natural Farming from theory into large-scale agriculture, and how we can start applying some of these principles in our own gardens and soils. A really interesting conversation about microbes, minerals, plants and ultimately learning how to work a little closer with nature!

    #83 - When Life Gives You Extra Lemons | Lisa Redmond [Lemonshare]

    What if the abundance growing in our backyards could help feed our communities? In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Redmond, founder of Lemonshare... an Australian platform helping neighbours find, share, swap and sell locally grown fruit, vegetables, herbs, plants and other garden produce. We explore the enormous amount of food quietly growing... and often going to waste... in Australian backyards, the limitations of a food system built for scale, and the potential of adding a more local and community-driven layer. We also discuss what it takes to turn an idea into a working platform, the challenges of connecting growers with their neighbours, and how Lemonshare could help reduce food waste, make fresh produce more accessible and rebuild stronger local relationships around food.

    #82 - What the Bush Teaches Us | Hamiora [Sam] Gibson

    Sam Gibson—better known as Sam the Trap Man—has spent years working in the New Zealand bush, protecting native wildlife and helping people better understand the realities of conservation. In this conversation, we explore the practical world of trapping and predator control, the pressures facing Aotearoa’s native species, and the experiences that have shaped Sam’s connection with the living world. But this episode goes beyond conservation as simply fixing a problem. We discuss what it means to see ourselves as participants in nature rather than outsiders looking in, and why reconnecting with the natural world cannot only be about what we can take from it. What does the bush need from us? What responsibilities come with belonging to a living community? And how might our relationship with nature change if we learned to listen, contribute and give something back? A thoughtful conversation about wildlife, stewardship, reciprocity and finding our place within the wider community of life.

    #81 - The Art Of Award-Winning Show Gardens | Joel Barnett [InStyle Gardens]

    In this episode I’m joined by Joel Barnett — landscaper, garden builder, educator, host of The Landscaping Podcast, and the founder of InStyle Gardens and The Landscaping School. Joel has spent years designing and building outdoor spaces, including award-winning show gardens, and in this conversation we dig into what actually makes a garden feel alive. We talk about the world of show gardens... the pressure, the creativity, the construction, the plant choices, the storytelling, and the hidden work that goes into creating something people can walk past and instantly feel something from. But this isn’t just a conversation about fancy gardens. We also explore what everyday gardeners can learn from professional landscaping: how to think about structure, flow, materials, soil, plants, maintenance, and the feeling of a space over time.
