Emma and Mary Kingsley are the mother-daughter duo behind Lady Farmer, a brand that began with a sustainable clothing line and now is a successful podcast (The Good Dirt) around slow and conscious living. Emma and Mary talk about each of their childhoods and how it informed their current path together. They chat about what moved them to do a Kickstarter campaign which led to where they are now, on a sustainable path and how they live within that ethos. This chat is a great peek into how it takes nothing other than a passion and interest to move into a life that you're inspired by and proud of. They share about plastic in our clothing, where they shop, and what we all can think about to start getting more intentional.

Spoiler alert: at the end of this episode are the secrets you've been waiting to hear for how to have the most envious vegetable garden. Bailey Van Tassel interviews Ann Malloy, one of the owners of Neptune's Harvest, an organic fertilizer company. It was founded by Ann's grandfather, who left school at 14 to help provide for his family. Their story is incredible and along the way we learn about how beautifully they've built a truly organic fertilizer company from fish by-products that fuel the most productive gardens through nutrient-building.
Ann invites us into her world by explaining how the fish fertilizer is made, how they run the business now, and how they've developed the products that work so magically, without compromising their organic and pure promise. Ann shares about giant pumpkins, combatting powdery mildew, roses, products that organically kill grubs and so much more.

Ann's favorite books: Illusions by Richard Bach and The Secret Life of Lobsters by Trevor Corson

This week we unpack the secret behind my favorite garden amendment as of late - wool pellets. They are SUCH a triple threat - holding moisture, repelling slugs, and slow-releasing nitrogen. We talk to Megan, the founder of Kestrel Ridge Pellet Co., who started her business as a way to make use of the incredibly wasteful wool industry. The wool by-products that come from either unsellable or undesirable wool make for fantastic fertilizer. When pelleted, it's easy for the home gardener to use. Megan walks us through how she got started in this business, and why wool does in fact make such a great amendment.
