| 10 Dec 2019 | 114 - The Autopilot Garden with Luke Marion | 01:00:55 | |
How does a garden that requires minimal input and maximum harvest sound to you? Instead of you working for it, your garden works for you. It's almost like the garden runs on autopilot. Sounds too good to be true, right?
Not according to MI Gardener's Luke Marion. Luke spends 15 minutes a WEEK in his 5,000 sq ft garden, outside of the busy planting time. So, how does he do it?
Luke shares his methods in his book, The AutoPilot Garden, but in today's post and episode on the Beginner's Garden Podcast, he gives a bit of insight into some of the primary methods he has put in place in his garden: core gardening and high-intensity spacing.

| 12 May 2020 | 135- Favorite Herbs to Grow for Health, Body, and Home | 00:38:05 | |
When I first started gardening, I did grow herbs, but they were only to use in my kitchen like basil and mint. As I've learned about gardening, I have begun to learn about how I could use herbs in my home for cleaning, in body products, and for our overall health. I'm excited to share what I've learned so far.

Today I'm going to talk to you about low maintenance crops. These are the ones that won't require a lot of baby-sitting. They're easy to grow and manage.

| 15 Oct 2019 | 106 - 23 Things Gardeners Wish They'd Known, part 1 | 00:37:15 | |
When we begin dreaming of our first garden, we get anxious, wondering if we'll ever learn everything there is to know. (Short answer: no, because in gardening, learning never stops!) But what if we could ask other gardeners just a few seasons ahead of us what they wish they'd known before they started their first gardens?
When I started the Beginner's Garden Podcast in 2017, my sole purpose was to provide resources for beginning gardeners. When I started my first garden in 2013, I struggled to find resources that catered toward true beginners. So I created what I wished I had.

This time of year many of us are gearing up for a big garden clean-up. We want to put our gardens to bed for the winter, preparing for a fresh, blank slate in the spring.

| 01 Oct 2019 | 104- Grow Food Indoors in the Winter with Ashley Dempster of the Townhouse Homestead | 00:38:56 | |
After the garden season has closed, do you ever wish you could grow food indoors? Maybe it seems like a pipe dream. You think your winter food will come solely from what you've preserved and what you can buy at the grocery store.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Even if you have a small indoor space, you can add fresh vegetables and herbs to your table, even in the dead of winter.
In this episode of the Beginner's Garden Podcast and in the article below, Ashley Dempster from the Townhouse Homestead shares her tips to get started growing food indoors.

| 14 Jul 2020 | 144- Fall Garden Prep | 00:35:21 | |
One of the biggest mistakes I see in fall gardening is planning and getting started too late. It's a good idea to start thinking about the fall as early as July! I know you may be worn out from gardening in the middle of summer, but a fall garden is absolutely worth it.
But before you get started planting, there are steps you will want to take in the planning process to get your fall garden started out right.

| 27 Aug 2019 | 99 - Pest Control without Pesticides | 00:36:56 | |
Is it possible to control pests in the garden without using pesticides? Many gardeners determine to use organic practices. But soon they find themselves discouraged when bad insects arrive in their gardens. How do organic gardeners keep bugs from eating their plants?
A healthy, productive, organic home garden goes beyond home remedies for pest control and organic alternatives to pesticides. Natural pesticides have their place, but I've found that natural pest control goes beyond these stop-gap measures.
Pest control without pesticides looks different than you might think. So how do you do it?
In today's episode of the Beginner's Garden Podcast, I share six principles to pest control without pesticides for a healthy, organic home garden. journeywithjill.net/99 | |||
| 29 Oct 2019 | 108- Crop Rotation Simplified | 00:40:14 | |
What comes to mind when you hear the phrase, crop rotation? Maybe it's something you think you have a basic understanding of, but when it comes to actually putting it into practice in your garden, you come up with more questions than answers. Is it necessary to rotate your crops from year to year, especially if you grow in a small space? Do all crops need rotation? What does it mean to rotate by plant families, and how are you supposed to know which plants are in which families anyway? What if your garden consists of more of one plant family than another? What about companion planting and succession planting with crop rotation? I have to be honest -- at this point I usually throw my hands in the air wondering how I'll ever figure out this impossible puzzle. If you've ever wondered any of those things, in this episode of the Beginner's Garden Podcast, we'll talk about crop rotation at a non-phD agricultural level.

| 07 Jul 2020 | 143- Gardening in the Heat | 00:46:34 | |
No matter where you live, you will most likely have to deal with hot weather throughout the summer. Your hot season might be shorter than mine in the southeastern US, but you likely have one. It was a surprise to me when I first started gardening that not all of my crops handle the hot summer well.
How do you make the most of your summer gardening in the highest heat? Nicole Burke of Gardenary joins me today on the Beginner’s Garden Podcast to discuss how to best handle our gardens in the heat. Click below to listen or continue reading.

| 12 Mar 2019 | 75 - Short term vs Long term Harvests | 00:31:09 | |
When beginning gardeners start planning their gardens for the first time, most do not know which vegetables will keep producing all season and which will harvest once and finish. I know I didn't think about that my first few seasons. But now I understand that some vegetables produce all season and some give a one-and-done harvest. With that knowledge, I am better able to plan my garden to full production all season. | |||

| 30 Apr 2019 | 82- Prevent Poisoning Your Soil - Interview with Jill Winger of the Prairie Homestead | 00:35:04 | |
There are few garden subjects I am more passionate about than mulch. It prevents weeds and regulates moisture in the soil, among its other benefits. But which mulch should you use? Perhaps the most common is shredded leaves, but what if you're like me and you don't have access to deciduous trees? Then what are your options? I've used wood chip mulch, hay mulch, straw mulch, and pine needle mulch, and I talk about the pros and cons of each type of mulch here. Although I prefer wood chip mulch, I have used hay mulch from time to time with good results. But after talking to Jill Winger of the Prairie Homestead, I realized using hay as mulch isn't without its risks. In this episode of the Beginner's Garden Podcast, Jill talks about how deep mulching with hay poisoned her garden. Click below to hear our conversation or read on to find out what happened, how she identified the problem, and what advice she gives to other gardeners considering using hay to mulch their gardens. | |||
