Customer Reviews
Music!
Thank you for bringing back the original podcast intro music!
Learning from Epic after 50 years of gardening
I’ve been a gardener in the Midwest us, northern us and now southern us. I thought i knew how to do this, but every. Single. Episode I learn something new from this sweet spirit. The podcasts fill me with knowledge, and even better, they renew my peace, hopefulness and love for growing my own food. If I could only have 1 gardening podcast, this is the one I’d choose.
Love this podcast!
Amateur gardener here - loved this podcast! But can you bring back the Epic farming theme song please?! I don’t mind the rebranding but the music really doesn’t work, it makes me think of the Wild West, cowboys, and desert — the exact opposite of the original theme which was an inviting, comforting, nurturing garden.
