The joe gardener Show - Organic Gardening - Vegetable Gardening - Expert Garden Advice From Joe Lamp'l

I’ve been listening to the podcast for about 4 years, since my husband’s field season took him out of town for large portions of the summer. He had always grown the veg and I took care of the landscaping. His work life changing meant, if I wanted vegetables, I’d have to grow them myself. I quickly became a radical convert and have since been turning our city lot into a permaculture micro urban farm. The joegardener podcast is my favorite resource for questions about growing a specific plant, cultivating natives, increasing wildlife diversity, general garden practices, and which books to buy! I have three topics I’d like to hear more about on your show: growing mushrooms in the garden, using waste wool for soil moisture retention and perennial edibles (think perpetual potatoes and Egyptian walking onions rather than rhubarb and herbs). Thank you and keep the geeky science coming!! Trish Gardner from Idaho

Listening to Joe is like walking through my garden with a trusted and compassionate mentor! No other garden podcast compares.

Loved the burnout episode! I certainly can relate, and the tips in this episode really resonated. I think it is worthy of a repeat (or something similar) when planning for next year with all of the beautiful seed catalogs that come across my desk. I especially loved the part about cutting back on tomatoes #guilty! I know I might have a problem when I plant more tomatoes than Joe Lamp’l!!! Thanks for all that you and your team do - keep up the great work!

I love how educational the show is and the interviews with experts getting into the science is fascinating! My only criticism is that these episodes could be edited down more and retain the same interesting content. Joe sometimes repeats the same ideas or speaks at length what could have been said in just a few words. But I love his passion!
