Oh, and it wouldn't be a complete show without some amazing bacteria facts from Tom. They (Tom AND bacteria) never cease to amaze me!

Well, we know that he wasn't applying compost to his garden because scientists are now able to "hear" all the bacteria and fungi that love that organic matter. The Garden Guys delve into microorganisms and the ways they help our bodies and our garden beds - and how those two are so similar.
